Today's Leading Sectors TOP 5
| ETF | 1-Day | RS Rank 1M | Short-Term | Mid-Term | Long-Term |
| iShares Cybersecurity and Tech (IHAK) | +1.27% | 99 | 🔺 | 🔺 | 🔺 |
| Global X Cybersecurity (BUG) | +1.81% | 98 | 🔺 | 🔺 | 🔺 |
| WisdomTree Cloud Computing (WCLD) | -1.03% | 97 | 🔺 | 🔺 | 🔺 |
| Energy Select Sector SPDR (XLE) | -2.05% | 96 | 🔺 | 🔺 | 🔺 |
| United States Oil Fund (USO) | -1.41% | 96 | 🔺 | 🔺 | 🔺 |
- Cybersecurity took the top two seats. Cloud computing (WCLD) slipped from first to third. Oil and gas exploration (IEO) fell -3.53% and dropped out at 95. Energy (XLE) took its seat. Three of the five closed lower, yet all five still trade above their 1-month, 1-quarter, and 1-year averages.
Why They're Strong — Sector Issues
· Metals and mining (XME) — Up +4.68%, sheet RS rank 30. USA Rare Earth jumped +16.72%, Kaiser Aluminum +10.22%, and MP Materials +9.07%. No single report explained the move. It came on a day when the most beaten-down commodity funds bounced together.
· Uranium (URA) — Up +4.37%, but the sheet RS rank is only 9. Centrus Energy rose +11.15%, Energy Fuels +8.86%, and NuScale +8.16%. The fund is still -10.64% over one month.
· Semiconductors (SOXX) — Up +3.91%, sheet RS rank 26. Entegris rose +7.05%, ON Semiconductor +6.22%, and AMD +5.45%. Nvidia's planned $3 billion investment in Meta added to the AI story, according to reports.
· Cybersecurity (IHAK) — Up +1.27%, sheet RS rank 99 and first place. It has gained +13.33% in five sessions.
What Changed From Yesterday
- Gold (GLD) posted the biggest one-day rank gain, 37 to 52. Only about a quarter of it came from Tuesday's +1.21%. The rest came from a weak day a month ago leaving the calculation window.
- Oil refiners (CRAK) fell from 65 to 42, and almost all of it was Tuesday's -3.73% price move. Monday's report said chips needed to get back above their 1-month average. SOXX rose again but is still below it. That call stays open.
1-Month RS Trend
- Metals and mining (XME) fell from 92 to 31 over the window, and uranium (URA) from 95 to 9. Semiconductors (SOXX) moved from 20 to 15. Oil and gas exploration (IEO) climbed from 80 to 97, and cloud computing (WCLD) from 93 to 100. Tuesday's rally came from the bottom of that chart, not the top.
RS Breakdown Warnings
- Oil refiners (CRAK) fell from 78 to 42, the deepest drop. Social media (SOCL), video gaming (ESPO), global pharma (PPH), gaming (HERO), and health care (XLV) joined it. Four other funds met the point threshold but were dropped because Tuesday's price moved the other way.
RS Rebound Signals
- Solar (TAN) rose from 16 to 47, the largest move. Digital infrastructure (IDGT) and space (UFO) also qualified. Sports betting (BETZ) was dropped because Tuesday's price fell. Data centers (DTCR) was dropped because the sheet moved the other way.

Why They Rose
- All five rising funds rank 30 or lower, and all five sit below their 1-month, 1-quarter, and 1-year averages. This was a bounce in the market's weakest corners. On the other side, oil refiners (CRAK) -3.73%, oil and gas exploration (IEO) -3.53%, oil and gas explorers (XOP) -2.37%, and residential REITs (REZ) -2.32% led the decliners.
Leading Sectors: Metals and Mining, Uranium, Semiconductors
- ① Metals and mining ranks 30 and is down -4.67% over one month. One strong day does not lift it back above its 1-month average yet.
- ② Uranium ranks 9. Cameco reports on Friday, which is the first company test for this bounce.
- ③ Semiconductors rank 26 after two up days. Intel reports on Thursday, and SOXX still needs to clear its 1-month average.
- ④ The last report covered the October 26 close. Its three picks from that close to Tuesday's: Lockheed Martin -1.92%, Tenable +0.91%, and Booz Allen Hamilton +0.05%, against +0.60% for the S&P 500. One of the three beat the market. Recorded as is.
Today's Three Stocks — Ryerson · Synopsys · Radware Stock Forecast
- Thirty-two stocks passed the four-part filter. These three fit the day's leaders.
Ryerson (RYZ) — Metals Service Center Stock Forecast
| Stock | RS 1D | RS 5D | RS 1M | 1M Return | Held By |
| Ryerson (RYZ) | 89 | 83 | 95 | +20.8% | SPDR Metals and Mining 1.2% |
- Closed at $29.34, +4.67%, its highest close since late July. Ryerson cuts, processes, and distributes steel and aluminum, and it merged with Olympic Steel in February. The Ryerson stock forecast depends on whether that merger pays off. For the quarter ended June 30, sales rose +71.6% to $2.01 billion, mostly from the merger. Operating income rose to $34.4 million from $5.8 million, and net income was $15.5 million. Third-quarter results come after the close on Wednesday, October 28.
Synopsys (SNPS) — Chip Design Software Stock Forecast
| Stock | RS 1D | RS 5D | RS 1M | 1M Return | Held By |
| Synopsys (SNPS) | 88 | 85 | 88 | +13.6% | VanEck Fabless Semiconductor 5.3% · iShares Expanded Tech-Software 2.9% · VanEck Semiconductor 2.0% |
- Closed at $474.42, +4.42%. Synopsys sells the software and chip designs that companies use to build processors. It has gained +12.3% in three sessions. The Synopsys stock forecast leans on the Ansys deal, which closed in July 2025. For the quarter ended July 31, revenue rose +42.4% to $2.48 billion and operating income more than doubled to $357.5 million. Net income was $545.8 million, or $2.84 per share.
Radware (RDWR) — Application Security Stock Forecast
| Stock | RS 1D | RS 5D | RS 1M | 1M Return | Held By |
| Radware (RDWR) | 98 | 99 | 95 | +20.5% | Global X Cybersecurity 1.5% |
- Closed at $35.50, +9.91%, a one-year closing high. Radware protects websites and apps from attacks, more and more of it as a cloud service. No single report explained Tuesday's jump. The Radware stock forecast is a sales story first. For the quarter ended June 30, revenue rose +11% to $82.3 million, while operating income fell to $2.5 million from $5.1 million. Management blamed most of the drop on a stronger Israeli shekel.
Ryerson · Synopsys · Radware Stock Forecast Checkpoints
· Ryerson stock forecast — Results arrive Wednesday after the close. Watch whether the stock holds above $28.03, Monday's close. The July high close of $31.03 is the next level above.
· Synopsys stock forecast — The stock just moved back above its 20-day average of $472.69. Watch whether it stays above $472.69 this week. The May high close of $534.56 sits well above.
· Radware stock forecast — The stock is up +21.0% in five sessions. Watch whether it holds above $32.30, Monday's close. A drop below $30.12, its 20-day average, would end the short-term uptrend.
What to Watch on Next Week's Calendar
- 🔴 Fed rate decision, Wednesday, October 28, 2:00 p.m. ET · September PCE inflation and third-quarter GDP, Thursday, October 29, 8:30 a.m. ET
- This is the first decision since September's hike. The 10-year yield sits at 4.99%. Chip funds rallied from a rank of 26 and tend to react most to a rate surprise.
- 🔴 Alphabet and Microsoft results, Wednesday, October 28, 4:00 p.m. ET · 🔴 Amazon results, Thursday, October 29, 4:00 p.m. ET · 🔴 Apple results, Monday, November 2, 4:00 p.m. ET
- Technology led the 11 sectors on Tuesday, and cloud computing (WCLD) ranks 97. These four reports decide whether the tech rally has earnings behind it.
- Phillips 66 results, Wednesday, October 28, 8:00 a.m. ET · Exxon Mobil and Chevron results, Friday, October 30, 8:00 a.m. ET
- Oil refiners (CRAK) carry the day's deepest breakdown warning. Phillips 66 is the first refiner to report after Tuesday's drop.
- Cameco results, Friday, October 30, 8:00 a.m. ET
- Uranium (URA) rose +4.37% but ranks only 9. Cameco is the largest US-listed uranium miner, so its outlook will show whether this bounce has demand behind it.
