Stocks Look Better… Until You See This Breakdown!

Stocks are trying to stabilize, but the charts tell a more complicated story. Julius de Kempenaer explains why recent technical damage could still limit upside, along with where strength is quietly building instead. Julius de Kempenaer, creator of RRG Charts, opens the first portfolio update of 2026 with a cautious look at stocks. Relative strength is improving, while price action is breaking down; as equities roll into the lagging quadrant and technical signals point to additional downside risk, commodities continue to stand out as the strongest asset class. Julius walks through asset classes, yield-curve behavior, corporate bonds, and sector rotations to explain why improving breadth outside of technology may not be enough to offset the damage already done in price. ➡️ Link to Julius' Public ChartList: https://stockcharts.com/public/2918885 👀 See what better financial charting can do for you! https://stockcharts.com/?utm_source=YouTube&utm_medium=Organicvideo&utm_campaign=JuliusDK&utm_content=012226 👍🏻 If you enjoyed this video be sure to hit the THUMBS UP ✅ If you found value, consider SUBSCRIBING to our channel and ring the bell so you never miss a new video!
