📂 WEDNESDAY – Sector Scanner: “Tax-Loss vs. Tax-Gain Pressure Map”

Mid-December is when tax-driven flows quietly dominate price action. Some sectors face persistent selling pressure, while others benefit from forced holding or gain realization delays.

Today’s Intel Drop maps tax-loss harvesting pressure versus tax-gain resistance across sectors and themes.

Use this to distinguish fundamental weakness from calendar-driven selling.

You are building a “Tax-Loss vs Tax-Gain Pressure Map” for U.S. equities as of December 17, 2025.

Identify which sectors and themes are under tax-driven selling pressure and which are resistant due to embedded gains.

Process:

1) Sector-Level Review
For each major sector:
- YTD performance vs S&P 500

- Valuation compression vs history
- Recent volume spikes indicative of forced selling

2) Tax Pressure Scoring
Assign each sector:
- Tax-Loss Pressure Score (1–5)
- Tax-Gain Resistance Score (1–5)

3) Build a SECTOR MAP TABLE:
- Sector
- YTD Performance
- Loss Pressure Score
- Gain Resistance Score
- Typical December Behavior
- Example Stocks Affected

4) Identify:
- 2–3 sectors likely experiencing artificial selling
- 1–2 sectors insulated from selling due to gains

Finish with:
- How tax flows distort signals
- How investors can exploit January reversals
