Sector Compass

The stretch lens on the tools you actually allocate with — the 11 sectors, key sub-sectors, factors and fixed income. The natural companion to the concentration read: when the cap-weighted index is crowded into a few mega-caps, this is where the diversification opportunity is statistically set up. As of October 29, 2026 · 12:32 PM ET.
▲ Opportunity set up

Washed-out, with a reversion edge

Oversold vs their own 2023 range and historically due to bounce — where adds have odds.

Extended, and vulnerable

Stretched to the high end with a soft forward read — where trimming or waiting has odds.

The 11 sectors — washed-out → extended

Each sector's position in its own 2023→current stretch range. Green = oversold (potential add), red = extended (potential trim). This is the map you talk a client through.

Educational market context, not investment advice. "Stretch percentile" is where an ETF sits vs its own 2023→current distance-from-trend; the forward read is the 21-day median return from prior days in the same zone (overlapping — a context gauge, not a signal). "Peer-Relative RSI" is a Wilder RSI on a name's relative-strength line vs a leave-one-out basket of its peers — a rotation oscillator, not a signal to act.
