🔗PRISTINE ALPHA TOOLS

Sector/Style Factor Relative Strength Analysis

A key part of our technical process is tracking momentum across style factors and sectors on multiple timeframes. Our goal is to follow the flow of capital and spot trend changes early

Style Factor YTD Performance

  • The safe haven Low Volatility and Quality style factors are now following rest of the market lower. Growth led from 2023-2025, and is now lagging in 2026 👇

YTD Sector Performance

  • XLE energy is the top performing sector as the conflict in Iran drives global financial markets👇

1-Month Sector Performance

  • GDX Gold Miners, which is arguably the most high momentum group since the 2023 bull market started, was hit the hardest with selling over the last month. Evidence that investors really are taking down portfolio exposure 👇

1-Week Sector Performance

  • Few good hiding spots for investors last week. Broad-based selling across most groups 👇
