Sector Rotation โ
"Tech rallied today" is not leadership. Everything rallied today. The useful question is which sectors rose more than the market, and whether that is new.

The Question It Answers โ
"Where did leadership actually move โ and is that a change?"
On a strong day almost every sector is green, and a feed reporting the biggest movers reports the market twice. Rotation is about relative behaviour: which sector pulled ahead of the index, which fell behind it, and whether the ordering is different from last week.
Why Two Axes Beat A Leaderboard โ
- Absolute trend and relative performance are measured separately. A sector can be rising and losing ground at the same time. A single-axis leaderboard cannot express that; two axes can, and it is usually the more interesting state.
- Leadership changes are the event. The read is built to surface where the ordering shifted, not to restate that the market went up.
- Tactical and structural are different posts. A daily view answers what moved this week; a weekly one answers whether the structure changed. Conflating them is how a channel ends up calling every wiggle a rotation.
- It is most useful under a regime. Defensive leadership inside a Recovery regime is a contradiction worth writing about. Neither read alone shows it.
What The Post Looks Like โ
How It Is Built โ
Two axes: absolute trend direction for each sector, and performance relative to the broad index. A sector's position is the pair, which is what separates "rising" from "leading".

Two Ways To Use It โ
- Read it. Sector rotation posts run on the TickerForge public channel in both a daily and a weekly form.
- Publish it. Sector Rotation is available for partner pilots โ say so on the Market News page and we prioritise by what partners actually ask for.
Rotation is context, not a signal. Leadership describes what has happened across sectors; it is not an instruction to rotate a portfolio. TickerForge is educational decision-support software, not financial advice.
