You Know The RRG? Ya You Know Me
Here’s a quick definition of what a Relative Rotation Graph is:
RRGs are like a race track for currencies or sectors against a benchmark (hello, U.S. Dollar Index!). Each quadrant is a stage in this financial marathon:
Leading Quadrant (green): Top dog alert! You’re leading the pack, but careful not to burn out.
Weakening Quadrant (yellow): Uh-oh, losing steam and falling back. Better find that second wind.
Lagging Quadrant (red): Major oopsie! You've hit a snag and are trailing behind. Cue the sad trombone.
Improving Quadrant (blue): Here comes the comeback! You’re getting your groove back and climbing the ranks.
RRG in Action:
Rapid Rotation: Zipping through all quadrants? It's a wild ride, signaling volatility. Traders, keep those seatbelts fastened.
Stuck in the Middle: Hovering near the center? That’s a whole lot of "meh" – no clear direction. Traders might play the waiting game.
Consistent Leader: Cozying up in the Leading Quadrant for ages? Strong uptrend alert! Traders, consider jumping on this gravy train.
Slow Recovery: Crawling from Lagging to Leading? It’s the tortoise approach, hinting at a gradual comeback. Traders, keep an eye out for those turnaround tales.
The GIFs below show the last 10 weeks and 15 days, respectfully, in crypto and highlight some major market-cap cryptocurrencies and those at their extremes.
Remember: The further an instrument is from the middle, the better the perceived trading opportunity is - so keep that in mind.
