XAR

How is XAR doing right now?

In plain terms: XAR is 19.2% below its highest-ever price. Dipsern checks every past time it was this far down and grades how the next 90 days usually went.

SPDR S&P Aerospace & Defense ETF (XAR) sits 19.2% off its peak and is currently in a moderate correction, last printing at $239.86. A drawdown of this depth is where patient buyers start paying attention. Historically the asymmetry begins to favor accumulation here, especially when paired with structural demand.

What history says at this drawdown

History at this drawdown level is well-populated for XAR — 237 confirmed observations in the 20%-to-15% band. The Dipsern engine uses these to compute a rolling median rather than a mean, because medians are robust to the kind of fat tails you find in etfs return distributions. The win rate (% of episodes that closed positive after 90 days) is shown in the segments table below.

What this means for XAR

For broad-index ETFs the historical base rate is exceptionally stable; for narrow thematic ETFs (e.g., ARKK, cannabis, leveraged), drawdowns are deeper and the sample size at each band is smaller. Moderate corrections are the highest-information zone for the Dipsern signal: enough drawdown for mean-reversion to matter, not so much that fundamentals are likely broken. Watch the prediction-error column — if past signals at this level were accurate, the current one is more trustworthy.
