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

  • Equities staged a massive bounce-back rally, but the top two style factors YTD are Quality and Low Volatility. Growth is the worst performer, which is the opposite of what we saw from 2023-2025👇

YTD Sector Performance

  • SOXX came out of nowhere in April and took the #1 slot YTD 👇

QTD Sector Performance

  • SOXX & BLOK risk-on areas of the market are crushing it in Q2 👇

1-Month Sector Performance

  • IGV Software stocks crushed on the release of the Claude Mythos model 👇
