Sometimes the better trade is not the single stock with the loudest headline, but the sector ETF showing broad accumulation. Sector rotation tells us where money is moving, and that can be more useful than trying to guess one winner.
If technology is strong but financials and small caps are weak, the market has a different message than when everything rises together. Broad participation usually supports healthier trends. Narrow participation can still work, but it requires more caution.
When I compare ETFs, I look at relative strength, volume, distance from moving averages, and whether pullbacks are shallow or deep. A sector that keeps holding higher lows while the market is choppy deserves attention.
Single stocks can move faster, but ETFs can show the bigger flow. I prefer using the ETF as the map and the individual stock as the execution idea.
