#52 – Julius de Kempenaer, creator of Relative Rotation Graphs on Relative Rotation Graphs, Sector Rotation Intelligence, and Why Momentum Still Rules the Markets

In this episode, Julius de Kempenaer, creator of Relative Rotation Graphs (RRG®), CMT charterholder, and one of the most influential technical minds in modern market analysis joins Jim Worden and Talley Leger for a deep dive into how professional investors spot rotation, manage risk, and visualize market leadership before it shows up in price. Julius shares the origin story behind RRG, why institutions rely on it globally, and how advisors can use rotation analysis to improve portfolio construction, timing, and client communication.

From sector rotation to asset-class mapping to avoiding the “doghouse quadrant,” Julius breaks down the tools and signals that he thinks matter most in today’s market.
