Sector Spotlights

Technology

Tech Chart
Weekly chart with relative strength for Technology

Technology stays the leader of the portfolio. The daily RRG shows a quick jump back into the lagging area, but the price broke out of a two‑month range, hinting at more upside. The raw relative‑strength line is forming a higher low, a good sign, even though the RRG lines are still adjusting.

Energy

Energy Chart
Weekly chart with relative strength for Energy

Energy is pushing against a falling trend line that has been tested three times, making it reliable. A parallel line below shows a short consolidation after breaking out of a long‑term range that lasted from 2023‑2025. If the price climbs above $60, it could spark more gains and lift the raw relative‑strength line.

Financials

Financial Chart
Weekly chart with relative strength for Financials

The Financials ETF broke through its previous high and is holding steady. The relative‑strength line is now acting as resistance, but the breakout should push the raw line higher. Both RRG lines point upward, with momentum well above 100, suggesting a move back into the leading corner.

Real Estate

Weekly chart with relative strength for Real Estate

Real Estate is still fighting a ceiling near 46. The price has slipped back under 45.5, and the raw relative‑strength line is narrow. However, the RRG lines are turning a little more positive after a long downtrend.

Health Care

Health Chart
Weekly chart with relative strength for Health Care

Health Care broke a small resistance level just below 160 and is holding firm. The downward tilt in relative strength is easing, though it hasn’t turned up yet. RRG lines show improvement, with momentum above 100 and the ratio line beginning to rise.
