Analyzing momentum requires understanding that trends can exhaust, reverse, or trap investors.

Based on the principle that the shorter timeframe is the most reactive leading indicator, here are the core risks associated with positioning into each category:

🟥 1. Exhaustion and Mean Reversion (The Powerhouses)

• Affected Sectors: Banks, Telecoms

• The Risk: These sectors have massive medium-term (Overbought) and long-term (High Bullish) backing, but entering them now carries a high risk of buying at a cyclical top. Because they are already flagged as Overbought on the medium timeframe, they are highly vulnerable to rapid profit-taking.

• What to watch: If the short-term momentum drops from Strong down to Neutral or Weak, it signals that exhaustion is beginning to pull down the longer-term horizons.
