Julius de Kempenaer on RRGs: Spotting Sector Rotation Before It Hits the Headlines
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Sector rotation doesn’t always show up clearly on the index chart—it often reveals itself underneath the surface. In the 83rd episode of the Market Misbehavior podcast, I’m joined by Julius de Kempenaer, founder of RRG Research and creator of the Relative Rotation Graph, to discuss the late-2025 change in market character and what relative strength analysis is signaling as markets hover near all-time highs. Recorded 12/15/25.
Topics covered include:
📈 how Julius uses Relative Rotation Graphs to identify sector rotation in real time
📈 why fading tech momentum alongside improving defensive sectors can be a cautionary signal
📈 how to read RRG “heading” and momentum shifts
📈 how to combine RRGs with traditional price charts to build a disciplined, top-down workflow from asset allocation to sector selection.
Key takeaway: Relative strength is most powerful when used as context, not in isolation. RRGs can highlight where leadership is improving or deteriorating, but confirmation from price and trend remains essential. When market leadership narrows or rotates toward defense, patience and discipline matter more than prediction.
