Shortlist (Tactical & Thematic)
- COPX — Maintains a strong long-term trend (Daily ADX above 41) despite a recent sharp pullback, offering exposure to the volatility in Copper Miners/Industrial Metals.
- VEA — Developed International Markets ETF shows strong trend continuation, trading well above its 200-day moving average and showing robust daily ADX momentum.
- FXC — Exhibits strong momentum (Daily RSI 64) and is in a confirmed technical uptrend, having been flagged by a trend-following strategy.
Core Building Blocks (Diversification)
- VOO — U.S. large-cap core exposure (S&P 500), currently consolidating but remaining significantly above its long-term 200-day moving average.
- VGT — Information Technology exposure, recently experienced a sharp dip (RSI 44) but remains strongly positioned in the long-term trend above its 200-day MA.
- VNQ — U.S. Real Estate sector exposure, trading in a tight range near its 50-day MA, suggesting potential stability for an interest-rate sensitive yield play.
Risks
- COPX has seen very high volatility and rapid price action, which increases the risk of sharp and sudden reversals.
- VGT’s technology concentration is susceptible to significant pullbacks should market leadership shift away from growth-oriented stocks.
