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

  • Momentum Style Factor +57.81%

  • I’m willing to bet that this amazing momentum style factor performance is not repeated next year. This will throw traders off guard that now think one of the weaknesses in their trading is that they don’t let their momentum stocks run to the moon 👇

YTD Sector Performance

  • YTD momentum matters a ton in Q3 and Q4, because investors tend to crowd in to outperforming groups for window-dressing purposes, but in Q1, the gameboard completely resets. It is up to us to spot the NEXT leadership groups early on in the year 👇

QTD Sector Performance

  • Quarterly momentum is about to reset as well👇

1-Month Sector Performance

  • ARKK low quality stocks are leading👇

1-Week Sector Performance

  • A sea of red. The rate-sensitive XHB homebuilders hit the hardest 👇
