The read

Sea to Sky Cargo (SEA) sits in the Outperformers quadrant of the rotation map: it has clearly beaten the S&P 500 by 3.8 points over the past month, on top of a 10.1-point advantage over the longer, time-shifted window. Ranked by one-month spread, it currently stands #35 of the 115 groups Zensei tracks.

On the shorter tape, SEA's momentum is mixed: the longer intraday trend is still positive, but the recent windows have gone flat. SEA's relative-strength line is holding around its moving averages — the trend is intact but no longer extending. The longer trend remains healthier than the recent tape suggests — the kind of divergence worth rechecking in a week.

The exposure comes via U.S. Global Sea to Sky Cargo ETF, whose 12 tracked holdings are led by INTERNATIONAL SEAWAYS INC, DHT HOLDINGS INC and GLOBAL SHIP LEASE INC CLASS A. Weighted by portfolio, the fund's holdings trade at roughly 9.4× earnings and 2.3× sales. The thing to watch from here is durability: outperformers that hold their one-month spread while the longer window keeps building tend to stay out front; a fading spread is the early exit signal.
