Simple Relative Strength Trick Finds Breakouts Earlier

| May 26, 2026

Most traders miss breakouts because they only look at price.

A chart can look flat, boring, or stuck in a range… while underneath the surface, it may already be showing strength.

In this video, you’ll learn a simple Relative Strength trick that can help you spot stronger breakout candidates earlier by comparing an asset against a benchmark like SPY, QQQ, Bitcoin, or a relevant sector ETF.

This is not RSI.

Relative Strength Analysis shows whether a stock, futures market, ETF, or crypto asset is leading or lagging compared to the broader market.

Relative Strength is not a buy or sell signal by itself. It is a filter that can help you identify leadership before a breakout becomes obvious.
