Finally put together my sector breadth analysis to include change over time (Looks to only work in Chrome – Timing Out in Explorer and Firefox – cross domain issue?). Google’s bubble chart working very nicely and there are lots of customisation options, including tabbed histograms. Last 10-days with Bullishness, Sector Rank, Price Change and Price to choose from. You can also track the trails:
The weakest sector is Utilities ($XLU), but you can see how bullishness (x-axis) has improved over the last couple of days, even if it can’t rise from its last ranking spot (bubble size unchanged). Value traders could look to take a punt on Utilities:
The most improved sector on the day was Technology ($XLK) with a 3 ranking spot jump (bubble size decreased). However, despite lurking on the business end of bullishness, this has steadily decreased over time, despite the improvement in rank. Suggestion is a false dawn for Technology. This is how it looked on the Bubble Chart:
In ranking change, Industrials ($XLI) lost two spots. This offers a suggestion as to what may follow for Technology: after days of carrying a high rating (but not reaching my definition for a ‘sell’), it dropped rapidly. It still has plenty of room to fall before reaching a buying opportunity.
I’m still playing around with this tool, but it might help shed some light on the inter-sector relationships. Use all analysis at own risk!
