Sector rotation guides

How relative rotation works, how to read the quadrants, and how the Nifty, US, and crypto charts are calculated.

• Sector rotationSector rotation is money moving between groups of stocks. Learn what it looks like on a relative rotation graph for India, the US, and crypto.
• How to analyze sector rotationA practical way to analyze sector rotation: pick a benchmark, plot relative strength and its speed, and read the four quadrants.
• Relative rotation graphA relative rotation graph plots each sector's strength against a benchmark and whether that strength is speeding up or slowing down.
• How to read an RRG chartHow to read an RRG chart: the horizontal axis is strength versus the benchmark, the vertical axis is speed, and the crosshair is 100 and 0.
• US market sectorsThe US market sectors used on Rotate: technology, financials, health care, energy, industrials, and the other S&P sector groups, measured against the S&P 500.
• Nifty sector rotationNifty sector rotation compares automobiles, banks, IT, FMCG, pharma, metal, energy, realty, infrastructure, and consumption with the NIFTY 50.
• Crypto relative strengthCrypto relative strength on an RRG uses Bitcoin as the benchmark, so you can see which coins are leading or lagging Bitcoin.
• RRG quadrantsThe four RRG quadrants explained. Leading, weakening, lagging, and improving, and the order names usually travel.
• How this RRG is calculatedThe Kaufman adaptive moving average settings behind Rotate: lookback, RS-Ratio normalization to 100, and RS-Momentum centered on zero.
