Abstract

The Relative Rotation Graph for US Sectors for this week primarily reveals a continuation of the rotations as they have been underway final week.

XLB : Shifting from lagging into enhancing at a powerful RRG-Heading, underscoring the build up of relative power for this sector.

XLC : Steady contained in the main quadrant on a brief tail.

XLE : Including an extended new phase to the tail, pushing it additional into the enhancing quadrant on the highest JdK RS-Momentum studying within the universe.

XLF : Contained in the weakening quadrant however at a really quick tail, indicating a secure relative uptrend that’s going by way of a pause.

XLI : Pushing into the main quadrant now at a powerful RRG-Heading whereas shifting away from the middle (benchmark) of the chart. This implies an enchancment in relative power.

XLK : This week, the tail is accelerating at a detrimental RRG, heading towards the lagging quadrant, urging (extra) warning within the tech sector.

XLP : Stays secure, simply above 100 on the JdK RS-Momentum scale on the left facet of the RRG. Relative power slowly drifting decrease.

XLRE : The uncooked RS-line dropped under horizontal assist, which is able to doubtless ignite a brand new acceleration decrease, pushing the XLRE tail deeper into the lagging quadrant.

XLU : The tail picked up some relative momentum this week however no relative power but. This implies it’s extra of a brief transfer. This is sensible, as XLU has the bottom RS-Ratio studying within the universe.

XLV : The tail is crossing again into the lagging quadrant from enhancing. With the uncooked RS-Line dropping under horizontal assist, extra relative weak point is anticipated, pushing XLRE additional into lagging.

XLY : Beginning to enhance slowly whereas contained in the lagging quadrant. Not at a constructive RRG-Heading but

Discretionary beating Staples

One attention-grabbing remark that may be created from the RRG above is the Client Staples sector (XLP) slowly rotating out of favor whereas the Client Discretionary sector has began to choose up relative momentum contained in the lagging quadrant and has now began to maneuver again up.

Once we zoom in on that relationship, utilizing a every day RRG, it turns into seen that this rotation is now getting traction.

Let’s simply say that discretionary beating staples in relative phrases is NOT a attribute of a bear market.

Sectors Pushing Towards Main Resistance Ranges

One other factor that caught my eye is that many sectors are pushing in opposition to or nearing main resistance ranges. Together with defensive sectors like Staples and Utilities, Healthcare has already damaged increased.

It ain’t over till its over. When these sectors convincingly break their overhead resistance ranges, they’ll doubtless present new gasoline to energy the rally even additional.
