Chart of the Day
π Today's Chart of the Day was shared by Dylan Tanen (@hihotraders).
- It's a ratio chart of the Consumer Discretionary sector versus the Consumer Staples sector on an equally weighted basis ($RSPD/$RSPS). This ratio is used to gauge risk appetite for the broader market.
- It's only Tuesday, but the ratio is on track for its best week since the election, with $RSPD outpacing $RSPS by +3.3%. Dylan points out that it has successfully retested former resistance from the 2021 peak.
- If this ratio had broken down, it would've been a major red flag for the broader market. However, it's bullish seeing former resistance turn into support here.
The Takeaway: The Equal-Weight Consumer Ratio ($RSPD/$RSPS) successfully retested its prior cycle highs. If it holds, this is bullish for stocks, but a breakdown would be a major red flag.
