What Changed From Yesterday

  • Humanoid robotics (HUMN) posted the biggest one-day rank gain, 40 to 60. Almost all of it came from Wednesday's +4.43% price move. Genomics (GNOM) followed, 48 to 67.

Biggest 1-Day RS Rank Gains — Yesterday vs Today
Biggest 1-Day RS Rank Losses — Yesterday vs Today

  • Solar (TAN) fell from 47 to 26, and most of it was Wednesday's -2.48%. Tuesday's report said chips still needed to get back above their 1-month average. SOXX rose +2.13% but is still below it. That call stays open.

 

1-Month RS Trend

45-Day RS Trend — 5 Sectors

  • Genomics (GNOM) fell from 97 to 67 over the window, and future AI (ARTY) from 91 to 30. Humanoid robotics (HUMN) moved from 53 to 60. Solar (TAN) went from 20 to 26, and gaming (HERO) from 59 to 54. Wednesday's two leaders took different paths to get here. Humanoid robotics is back above where it started, while genomics is bouncing after slipping from the top.

Why They Rose

  • Genomics (GNOM) is the only one of the five above all three averages. The other four are bounces from low ranks, and three of them are crypto-linked or meme funds. On the other side, gaming and esports (HERO) -2.61%, solar (TAN) -2.48%, video gaming (ESPO) -2.05%, and transportation (IYT) -1.67% led the decliners. Enphase Energy fell -16.0% on a weak forecast, and Landstar -17.8% on higher claim costs, according to reports.

 

Leading Sectors: Humanoid Robotics, Genomics, Meme Stocks

  • ① Humanoid robotics ranks 50 and is still below its 1-quarter and 1-year averages. It needs a second strong day to show this is more than a bounce.
  • ② Genomics ranks 79 and is the one leader in an uptrend on all three averages. Health care funds back it up: providers (IHF) rank 93 and health care (XLV) 90.
  • ③ Meme stocks rank 5 and are down -18.22% over one month. One up day does not change that.
  • ④ The last report covered the October 27 close. Its three picks from that close to Wednesday's: Ryerson +1.12%, Synopsys +1.57%, and Radware +4.68%, against +0.28% for the S&P 500. All three beat the market. Recorded as is.
