| Recovering | Below its benchmark-relative floor. Historical relationship favors catch-up versus the reference. |
| Inflection | Near its benchmark-relative anchor. Decision point. No clear directional edge. |
| Trending | Above its benchmark-relative floor. Near the floor, watch for support; when extended, watch for mean reversion. |
The same stock can be Trending on the 1-year view but Recovering on the 3-month view. This is not a contradiction — it means the long-term trend is intact but short-term is pulling back. Multi-horizon analysis shows you the full picture.

Suggested: Apr 2025 Sep 2025 Aug 2024 crash
A Trending call during a crash has not failed if SPY drops 10% while the benchmark drops 20% — SPY outperformed its benchmark. Grading on absolute returns just measures market beta.
Note on this pair: SPY contains ~30% tech, so SPY vs XLK is a difficult benchmark — SPY is diluted across 11 sectors competing against a concentrated tech index. A “Recovering” call here asks whether broad market can close a gap against the sector driving it. That’s the right question to ask — and it’s harder to get right than most pairs.
