Relative Strength Rank Trend Reports

Gas and Oil are outperforming equities at the moment, and energy-related company stocks are strengthening. We’ll have Quantamental Killer picks for premium subscribers after we share our global relative strength assessment.

US Sectors

In the past 90 trading days, XLE’s (Energy) competitive rank among US stock sectors has risen from 8th to 1st. XLF (Financials) has moved from 12th to 4th in relative strength ranks over the most recent 110 trading days. Despite dips, both XLI (Industrials) and XLC (Communications) have maintained their competitive rank in the top half among US sector ETFs

Over the past 70 trading days, XLK (US Tech) has dropped from 3rd to 13th. It’s important to pay attention to money flow to confirm that bearish rotation.

XLE’s short-term and intermediate trends are bullish, and money flow is above .1, which means that institutions are accumulating the stocks (and in multiple timeframes). RSI continues to rise. Over the past three days, it’s entered the overbought zone, above 70. However, stocks with high RSI’s can stay overbought for quite some time. A sell signal comes only after the RSI drops below 70. Take note that the energy ETF is the only US sector showing bullish CMF in the key 21-day lookback period.

XLK has weak money flow and a falling RSI, the combo confirming the intermediate bearish relative strength trend. While the 10/40 daily EMA pair remains bullish and the trend is not yet broken, this combination of bearish factors can help propel the tech center pullback further or lock in a sideways trend from weeks to a couple of months before recovery.

Subsector ETF

Energy and Tech sub-sector ETFs mirror the story above.

Premium Cheat Sheets Stacks

Let’s take a look at the top-rated single-company stock tickers in the energy sector. We’ll run these highly-liquid, single-company stock holdings through a Cheat Sheet Quantitative Analysis. But we’ll tighten up our selections so that only stocks with favorable fundamental ratings make the cut. That means companies with bullish financial ratios, low valuation metrics, strong analyst ratings, and aggressive insider buying. These stocks are trading in the strongest parts of the market and are earning the favor of richly bankrolled institutional investors. The result? Quanta-mental Killers Stacks. With these stock selections, the wind is at your back.
