How To Read It
- A rising sector line means that group is outperforming the S&P 500; a falling line means it is lagging.
- Look for leaders that keep winning across multiple windows, not just one sharp burst.
- Relative strength can improve even during market pullbacks, so pair this with the main index chart for context.
