U.S. Momentum

A rules-based dashboard for tracking U.S. sector and thematic trend structure using moving-average confirmation, persistence, stability, and risk-aware diagnostics.

Trend Framework

Trend is defined by the 20-day SMA relative to the 50-day SMA. Trend Duration tracks how long that state has persisted without interruption.

Bias & Stability

Constructive / Mixed / Defensive summarize confirmation quality, while Stability measures whether recent price structure appears smooth and persistent rather than choppy and fragile.

“Constructive,” “Mixed,” and “Defensive” describe internal trend confirmation quality. They do not directly imply stronger or weaker macro conditions and may reflect sector rotation, defensive leadership, valuation compression, or shifts in rate sensitivity. Stability measures structure quality, not whether the direction itself is favorable.
