Of course, we need to clarify.\u00a0 I am talking about studying the ratio of one asset to another in order to find outperformance.\u00a0 We are not talking about RSI (Relative Strength Index), which while powerful, is not the same thing. Not only can we compare one security to another, but we can look for leadership within any universe.\u00a0 For example, relative strength analysis can help an investor find securities that are driving returns in a portfolio as well as find those that are hurting performance and should perhaps be removed.\u00a0 Alternatively, an investor could use relative strength analysis to understand which commodities deserve his attention.\u00a0 Are metals performing well, or should we invest in oil?\u00a0 In this article, we\u2019ll discuss relative strength and apply it to a study of the equity sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1100\" height=\"794\" data-src=\"\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/05\/31.05-1-1100x794.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-207439 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/05\/31.05-1-1100x794.png 1100w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/05\/31.05-1-700x505.png 700w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/05\/31.05-1-300x217.png 300w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/05\/31.05-1-768x554.png 768w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/05\/31.05-1-1536x1109.png 1536w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/05\/31.05-1.png 1712w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1100px) 100vw, 1100px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1100px; aspect-ratio: 1100\/794;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\"><em>Courtesy of StockCharts<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The chart above is a simple line chart of the ratio of XLU (utilities) to SPY (S&amp;P 500).

This allows us to watch the rotation between sectors as it happens, and in a way that allows us to focus our attention on the out-performing sectors.&nbsp; We can quickly see that at the moment, there are 2 sectors that are in relative \u201cGo\u201d trends to the larger index; technology (XLK, top panel) and Utilities (XLU, 2nd from bottom).&nbsp; We don\u2019t have to subjectively eyeball it, GoNoGo Trend tells us using a weight of the evidence approach. Given our discussion so far, it is no surprise that the utilities sector is in a relative \u201cGo\u201d trend, but hopefully it is clear that using different visualizations, such as the GoNoGo Sector RelMap, these conclusions become more easily reachable.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These GoNoGo RelMaps can be created for any universe.\u00a0 We have used RelMaps for commodities, currencies, countries, cryptocurrencies and many others.
