Buying streak — 4 quarters in a row
For 4 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added RLY than sold it. That's a consistent pattern of professional buying — not a one-time trade. When institutions keep buying quarter after quarter, it usually means they see a multi-year opportunity, not just a short-term momentum flip.
🏔️
At the ownership peak (100% of max)
100% of all-time peak
150 hedge funds hold RLY right now — the highest count in 3.0 years. When ownership is this concentrated, any bad news can trigger a chain reaction: one big fund sells, others follow. This is a classic 'crowded trade' — high popularity doesn't equal safety.
🚀
Fast accumulation — +42% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+44 new funds entered over the past year (+42% YoY). That's a rapid rush of institutional money. Fast accumulation often signals a major thesis — but it also means the stock could fall quickly if that thesis breaks.
🟢
More buyers than sellers — 67% buying
95 buying46 selling
Last quarter: 95 funds were net buyers (33 opened a brand new position + 62 added to an existing one). Only 46 were sellers (39 trimmed + 7 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
📈
More new buyers each quarter (+14 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new RLY position: 16 → 14 → 19 → 33. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.

🚀
Acceleration phase — new buyers rushing in
11 → 16 → 14 → 19 → 33 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 16 → 14 → 19 → 33. The pace of institutional discovery is accelerating sharply. This is the 'hot idea' phase — the thesis is being passed from fund to fund. You are not late — the accumulation wave is still building.

Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 4.2/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
