Cap- and equal-weighted diverge. 6M -3.5pp. The smaller members are leading — the headline understates how broad this move is.

One-year return computed from 12 of 13 members — the rest have less than a year of price history and are excluded rather than counted as flat.

Why this label

Classified Weak because it was none of the trending, turning-around or cooling conditions were met. Relative strength is measured against DocStoX universe (5,289 companies).
