I thought we would see this happen at some point, but I wasn&#8217;t sure if it would end up being bullish rotation (where global/small/value start putting in good absolute and relative performance, and catching up) or bearish rotation (where both fall, but one falls less than the other, and US growth catches-down).</p><p><strong>As such, I&#8217;d call this pair of charts collectively bullish</strong> in that the &#8220;relative value trinity&#8221; group (global/small/value) are picking up the slack from lackluster US large growth/tech.</p><p>But at the same time, you take one glance at the chart on the right and that doesn&#8217;t look too good &#8230;and in fact it shares <em><strong>many </strong></em><a href="https://www.chartstorm.info/p/weekly-chartstorm-the-2022-top">similarities with 2021/22</a>.</p><p>That&#8217;s what we call <strong>bullearish</strong>.</p><div

+20% being a common benchmark/trigger for &#8220;bull market&#8220;).</p><p>This is a very positive sign.</p><p>The below chart shows this peculiar breadth indicator over time (the red line), and what&#8217;s interesting is a few things&#8230;</p><p>First, this indicator has rarely been above 50% over the past couple decades (yet, it was steadily north of 50% during the 2000&#8217;s global equity bull market).</p><p>Second, when this indicator surges like this it is typically a very good sign &#8212; for instance, see: 2003, 2009, 2020 (the start of new global equity bull markets).</p><p>Third, by contrast the time to be concerned is when this indicator peaks and rolls over (no signs of that at the moment).</p><p>In essence, this is an unequivocally bullish chart: about as bullish as it gets.</p><p>And it lines up with the macro/fundamental developments I&#8217;ve been tracking e.g. as documented a couple of weeks ago: <a href="https://entrylevel.topdowncharts.com/p/chart-of-the-week-cyclical-upturn">Global Growth Reacceleration</a> + <a href="https://www.chartstorm.info/p/off-topic-chartstorm-emerging-markets-6d7">Bullish Outlook for EM</a> + <a href="https://www.chartstorm.info/p/off-topic-chartstorm-commodities">Bullish Commodities Outlook</a>.</p><p>As I quipped the other day, &#8220;there&#8217;s always a bull market somewhere, and in this case it&#8217;s <em>everywhere</em>!&#8220;</p><div

length="0" type="image/jpeg"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With <a href="https://www.chartstorm.info/p/off-topic-chartstorm-tech-stocks">tech in trouble</a> (+a number of macro risks lurking on the horizon), defensives are starting to look interesting&#8230;</p><p>Defensives (i.e. an equal-weighted basket of: <em><strong>Utilities, Healthcare, Consumer Staples</strong></em>) are turning up vs the S&amp;P500 &#8212;after going through what has been a major <em><strong>relative</strong></em> bear market.</p><p>But in particular, the following conditions make for a contrarian bullish (relative) setup for Defensives:</p><ul><li><p>Defensives&#8217; <strong>relative value</strong> indicator reached similar levels to that seen at the peak of the dot com bubble (Defensives are extreme cheap vs the index).</p></li><li><p><strong>Investor allocations</strong> to defensives are ticking up from record lows.</p></li><li><p>The <strong>market cap weight</strong> of defensives reached an all-time low late last year.</p></li><li><p>The <strong>relative price</strong> (black line in the chart below) has seen an extended and extreme period of underperformance.</p></li><li><p>And on the flipside, US (tech) stocks have likewise seen a number of extreme readings on sentiment, valuations, and allocations in the opposite direction (i.e. overall <strong>stock market downside risk</strong> is higher than we&#8217;ve seen since 2000 due to the key growth engine of tech stocks being overheated and looking somewhat burnt out lately).</p></li></ul><p>Interestingly, this bullish outlook for defensive stocks is actually bearish for the stockmarket as a whole&#8230;</p><p>To be clear, when I say bullish outlook for defensives, I mean in <em><strong>relative terms</strong></em> &#8212; i.e. you expect defensive stocks to fall less or at best hold ground while the rest of the market falls more.</p><p>In this sense, defensives are interesting to keep tabs on both as a source of information on the market cycle (they fare relatively well in a downturn and lag behind in an upturn), but also as a sort of alternative hedge or portfolio risk dampener.</p><p>So seeing the defensives&#8217; relative performance line ticking up from extreme lows (and the contrarian bullish setup for defensives I just outlined) tells us we need to pay closer attention to risk management and smart diversification right now.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

Chart 1 &#8212; Market Cap Weight</h3><p>As noted above, defensives&#8217; market cap weight reached an all-time low last year, since then they have ticked up as tech has ticked down off record highs.</p><p>Again, this tells us about the state of the market cycle (note where previous extremes were, and how fleeting they ended up being &#8212; and how they ultimately resolved).</p><p>But it also tells us important investment strategy takeaways such as how passive index investors are now heavily exposed to tech and on the contrary, also have historically low exposure to the diversifying and risk-dampening attributes of defensives.</p><p>So this is a timely prompt to consider both the big picture macro-market outlook, but also the pragmatic implications for portfolio strategy (e.g. is this the right sector mix for equity exposure? should you look into smart diversification and up-weighting risk dampeners?)</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link

&#8212; Earnings Weight</h3><p>For completeness, here&#8217;s the earnings version of the market cap chart above, this one shows the earnings weight (or earnings % share) of each of those big 3 sector groups.</p><p>We can see that tech boasts the biggest earnings share, but also that cross-checking it against the chart above we can also see that the market has overshot.</p><p>Meanwhile, the history of defensives&#8217; earnings weight tells us exactly why they are called defensives &#8212; because in times of turmoil and downturn, defensives&#8217; earnings just keep plodding along and become a larger share of the index as tech and cyclicals ex-tech see earnings crunched by crisis, sector boom/bust cycles, and recessions. </p><p>So it pays to be cycle aware then think about equity exposure, stock market ups and downs, and overall asset allocation.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

The downside is that tech, crypto, and fixed income likely take a back seat in this type of macro environment (and that&#8217;s precisely what we&#8217;ve seen playing out over the past few months).</p><p>So it&#8217;s key development, a key theme, with major implications for investors &#8212;

Chart &#8212; Confidence Revival </h3><p>With all I discussed above I couldn&#8217;t keep this one to myself!</p><p>This chart tracks the average z-score (i.e. normalizing each series in terms of where it is tracking vs long-term average so it can be put in common comparable terms) across every country that has consumer and business confidence surveys.</p><p>In other words, it is a <em><strong>global barometer of economic confidence</strong></em>.</p><p>The first thing to note is how out there in the real world, consumers and businesses have been having a tough time in recent years &#8212; while there was no <em>official recession</em>, with the inflation shock, rise in rates, and exhausting (geo)political news/noise flow, we&#8217;ve basically been through a <strong>confidence recession</strong> [albeit others call it a k-shaped economy, stealth recession, vibecession, etc!].</p><p>And now, as I noted earlier, the clouds are lifting&#8230;</p><div

now.</p><p>And fair enough &#8212; there are several obvious reasons to hate them.</p><p>Returns have been terrible, inflation risk is lurking around the corner, fiscal concerns are running high, and political/governance risk for the US is looking and feeling more like what you&#8217;d expect in emerging markets.</p><p>But all of this is obvious and well known, which means it&#8217;s time to think.</p><p>As the old Mark Twain quote goes, <em><strong>"Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect."</strong></em></p><p>When you take an objective and quantitative look at treasuries (I am referring to longer-term) a couple of things stand out.</p><p>Valuations are cheap.</p><p>Sentiment/allocations/positioning are deeply consensus bearish.</p><p>And support seems to be holding&#8230;</p><p>To be fair, there are several key and credible risks to treasuries e.g. if we see stronger growth and commodity prices this year (<a href="https://entrylevel.topdowncharts.com/p/10-charts-to-watch-in-2026">my base case</a>) that&#8217;s going to be a headwind for fixed income as bond yields would see upward pressure in that scenario.</p><p>But if we see recession and deflation, or just growth scare, or even stock bear &#8212; or perhaps a pivot in policy by the Fed to more aggressively lean on mortgage rates by bringing short-term rates down and maybe even leaning on long-term bond yields&#8230;. those are a couple of pathways to better returns from the unloved undervalued and underestimated treasuries bucket in fixed income.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

This is likely to become a major macro theme in 2026 (not to mention a very interesting opportunity for investment in both commodity related stocks + commodity prices themselves).
