ETF sector rotation
Where relative leadership is moving
The HGTrading Relative Rotation Map compares 11 US sector ETFs with SPY. It is an open, JdK-style research model—not the proprietary JdK indicator.

What these coordinates mean
BenchmarkEach SPDR sector ETF is divided by SPY to measure relative—not absolute—performance.
Daily trend index10-session exponential average ÷ 65-session exponential average of the price relative, centred on 100.
Momentum indexCurrent trend index ÷ the previous session’s trend index, centred on 100.
Weekly viewWithheld until the stored ETF histories are split-adjusted; otherwise fund splits can create false long-term rotation.
The pale cross around 100 is a boundary zone: ratio values within ±0.25 and momentum within ±0.10 are not treated as decisive quadrant changes. These are HGTrading calculations, not official JdK RS-Ratio or RS-Momentum values.
The idealised cycle
ImprovingMomentum is rising while relative strength remains below benchmark.
→LeadingRelative strength and momentum are both above benchmark.
→WeakeningStill relatively strong, but momentum has slipped below benchmark.
→LaggingRelative strength and momentum are both below benchmark.
Sectors often rotate clockwise, but they can reverse, skip quadrants, or remain near the centre. Rotation is relative: a “Leading” sector can still fall if the whole market falls.
