What Changed

Bottom line: Classic consumer bifurcation — value retailers thriving while premium/discretionary names capitulate. LOW RSI 24.6 and NKE RSI 25.1 are the deepest oversold readings. The housing weakness (ITB, XHB from market-pulse) is directly hitting home improvement.


The Gold

Key Discoveries:

  • Consumer trade-down trade in full effect: WMT +50% 1Y, TGT +21% 3M vs NKE -23% 1Y, LULU -49% 1Y
  • LOW/HD capitulation tied to housing (ITB/XHB also crashing)
  • TJX near 52wk high — off-price retail is the strongest consumer subsector

Mistakes to Avoid:

  • Don't catch falling knives in premium brands without thesis validation
