FAVORED SECTOR STATUS CHANGES
A sector is considered to be Favored if it has 3 or 4 of the sector indicators (Relative Strength, RSX, RSP, & PT) positive, Average if it has 2 of the 4 indicators positive, & Unfavored if it has 0 or 1 of the indicators positive. The table below contains those sectors that have experienced a Favored Sector Status change over the past week. It is best to focus on sectors that are about 50% or lower on their Bullish Percent charts & are in Xs. Note: If a sector moves from Favored to Average, it doesn't necessarily mean that the sector in question has to be sold - it just means you need to evaluate your individual positions with exposure to that sector.
