How To Read It

  • Watch which sectors stay near the top for more than a few sessions; persistent leadership usually matters more than brief spikes.
  • Use the 30-day board for fast rotation and the 90-day board for the more durable trend.
  • When leadership flips abruptly, the market is usually repricing growth, defensiveness, or rate sensitivity.
