The 11 S&P 500 Sectors Are Fading Quickly. Protect Yourself Against a Stock Market Crash Now.

The 11 S&P 500 sectors are rapidly losing momentum, signaling a potential stock market crash, warns analyst Rob Isbitts. By examining sector-level momentum, Isbitts observes increasing risks and growing concerns about market breadth deterioration. The ROAR Score, a risk-management metric, is used to evaluate the odds of a major loss for ETFs or stocks.

Currently, no sector has fully crashed, but ROAR Scores for most sectors are trending downward, indicating weakness. Consumer Discretionary and Industrials have the lowest scores at 10, while Consumer Staples, Financials, and Materials are between 30 and 40. Only Healthcare, Technology, Energy, and Communication Services maintain higher scores at 60.

Isbitts advises reducing exposure, holding cash buffers, and prioritizing active risk management over speculative buying during this market downturn.
