Laggards in a rally are often the first to fail when it's over.

And then dropped, and now hasn't made another higher high. Perhaps that's still possible, but it looks more like a head and shoulders forming. Something to keep an eye on, because continued weakness in the banking sector would be a form of negative divergence for the broader market.
