POSITIONING: High Beta's Re-Emerging Momentum Relative To Low Volatility
Bottom Line: Investors appear to be positioning themselves within high beta shares/sectors while rotating out of shares/sector with a lower beta.
Technically, the ratio chart shows sees high beta looking to break above resistance relative to low volatility.

High Beta shares trading at multi-month lows relative to Low Volatility shares.

The chart highlights the S&P 500 High Beta ETF (SPHB) relative to the S&P 500 Low Volatility ETF (SPLV). Zooming out, my analysis highlights the failure of high beta shares to hold above the prior swing highs, while momentum (as per the 14-week RSI) is nearing a breach of the upward trend.
Bottom Line: Investors appear to be positioning themselves within low volatility shares/sectors while rotating out of shares/sector with a higher beta.
