Chart of the Day
Today’s Chart of the Day was shared on Twitter by SentimenTrader (@sentimentrader). The chart highlights the fact that some of the worst-performing stocks year-to-date were some of the best-performing stocks today and vice versa. Price action felt somewhat backward as some of the weakest areas of the market caught a bid today. For example, Banks ($KBE), Retail ($XRT), Oil Services ($OIH) and Value Stocks ($SPYV) all did well today. On the other hand, stronger areas of the market like Growth Stocks ($SPYG) and Software ($IGV) were weak. It’s often said that sector rotation is the lifeblood of bull markets. It’s important to note that one day doesn’t make a trend, however, this is something worth paying attention to as it could be the start of a larger rotation.

Ppl who check the $SPX and see that it was down just 0.01% will be greatly surprised when they check energy stocks ($OIH), financial stocks ($KRE) and the recent tech momentum darlings. But the $SPX avoided an Outside Reversal Day by closing above 2972.51. pic.twitter.com/LNxR2ACd1O

Softwares have led the mkt for five yrs. $PSJ is the software ETF that most closely resembles leading software #stocks, w/ about 40% of it being aggressive growth vs 20% for $IGV, making it a useful barometer for this group

Don't look now… but… there is a SIZABLE shakeup taking place from a factor-perspective. If today feels weird to you, you're not alone. Momentum & Low Volatility stocks that have been leading this market are struggling today & Value just got a shot in the arm!? #interestrates pic.twitter.com/pIzicRkb4t
