What is the Trend?

  Sector analysis

For a start we base our assumptions on the premise that certain sectors perform better than others during different stages of the business cycle, with all the up and down changes in economic activity. We can clearly see which sectors are performing well during the current market conditions. Updated 1/11-25.

This sector watchlist will be updated more or less daily. As you can see the sectors are either positive, negative or at 0 (direction unknown at the moment) in each time frame. If you find, like in the case of Financial Sector, a negative value, that is not the Daily performance showing. It is the overall trend in that timeframe. That indicator makes the system more reliable than just measuring the Daily percentage performance. "We want to get the trend right first" before trading. * A change in the value of timeframe.

Three colours define the current trend as Primary trend. Red-negative, Orange-O, Green-positive.
