Large and Regional banks have struggled this year, as both indices have declined nearly 15% in 2018. These declines have taken place as interest rates have been moving higher, which historically is positive for banks.

The declines of late in Regional Bank ETF (KRE) has it testing 7-year rising support as well as the 2007 highs at (1).
