About Sector Rotation Monitor

What Is Sector Rotation Monitor?

Sector Rotation Monitor is a professional-grade analytical platform that tracks relative strength across 9 asset universes — from US sectors, industries, and factor ETFs to global markets, commodities, bonds, and crypto — every ETF and every holding ranked and scored daily.

It answers one question every active investor asks: "Where is the money flowing right now?"

The Problem

Most relative-strength and momentum screening tools focus exclusively on US equities. They help you find strong stocks, but they don't tell you whether you should be in stocks at all — or whether bonds, commodities, or international markets are leading. And they rarely connect the dots between what's rotating and why.

To get a complete picture, traders typically juggle multiple subscriptions — one tool for RS screening, another for macro data, another for charting, and yet another for sentiment. That's expensive, fragmented, and slow.

Why Sector Rotation?

Sector rotation isn't a new idea — the relationship between economic cycles and sector performance has been studied since at least the 1850s, and the National Bureau of Economic Research has documented consistent patterns across every business cycle since then. The core insight is simple: different sectors lead at different stages of the cycle, and these shifts are broadly predictable. Energy and commodities tend to outperform late in an expansion; consumer staples and utilities hold up best in downturns; technology and cyclicals lead early recoveries.

Rather than trying to pick individual winners in a falling sector, sector rotation focuses your capital where the macro tailwind is strongest. Practitioners like Stan Weinstein, John Murphy, and Fidelity's research team have all shown that aligning your portfolio with the prevailing cycle stage — and with relative-strength leaders within those sectors — can meaningfully improve risk-adjusted returns versus a static buy-and-hold approach.

That's what this platform is built to help you do.

How We're Different

  • Top-down, not bottom-up — we start with "which asset classes and sectors are leading?" then let you drill into individual holdings. Rotation-first, not stock-first.
  • Multi-asset in one dashboard — equities, bonds, commodities, global markets, and crypto ranked on the same RS framework. No need to switch between platforms.
  • Macro-aware — economic regime detection, a 26-component macro health score, and SPY sentiment are layered on top of RS rankings, so you see not just what is rotating but why.
  • All-in-one — RS rankings, regime analysis, multi-factor stock scoring, entry signals, MA trend confirmation, options sentiment, and macro indicators — without stitching together multiple subscriptions.

Methodology

Our core ranking engine uses Relative Strength analysis — based on the Mansfield RS methodology popularised by Stan Weinstein in Secrets for Profiting in Bull and Bear Markets. We calculate RS across multiple timeframes (1 week to 12 months), combine them into a weighted composite score, and rank every ETF and stock against its benchmark.

On top of relative strength, we layer:

  • Multi-horizon rank deltas — every ETF and crypto row shows three rank-momentum columns side-by-side: Δ1d / Δ5d / Δ20d on the daily view and Δ1w / Δ4w / Δ13w on the weekly view. Lets you separate one-day noise from multi-week conviction in a single glance — green arrows for names climbing the rankings, red for names falling out of favour.
  • Holdings screener — drill into any ETF to find the strongest stocks by RS ranking
  • Regime detection — moving-average breadth analysis to classify markets as bull, defensive, or bear
  • Market Conditions — a daily US-market verdict under US Economy → Market Conditions. Seven weighted lights (Trend 25% · Breadth 15% · Distribution 15% · Macro 15% · Volatility 10% · Credit 10% · Internals 10%) composite into a 0–100 score and a position-sizing bucket (Full / Standard / Half / Quarter / Cash) with day-over-day delta — a slow-moving "how much capital to deploy" gauge that sits above the daily SPY sentiment tape and the 4-quadrant Rotation Regime.
  • Rotation regime — a 4-quadrant economic cycle model (Recovery, Expansion, Recession, Inflation) driven by ETF-based growth and inflation momentum
  • SPY sentiment (CSI) — a 6-component composite index of SPY-derived signals (VIX, vol term-structure, directional volume, put/call, breadth, credit) with contrarian alerts
  • Macro economic indicators (MEI) — 26 FRED-sourced macro components (GDP, unemployment, CPI, consumer confidence, and more) composited into a single economic health score
  • Stock Score (SS) — multi-factor stock ranking combining Quality, Value, and Momentum into a composite percentile score (0–100), with Growth tracked separately
  • Master Rank (MR) — a cross-universe 1–99 percentile that blends three sub-ranks: Quality Rank (QR), Strength Rank (SR, relative price strength), and Trend Rank (TR, technical trend quality). Shown alongside an Industry Group Rank (IGR) so you can tell at a glance whether a leader is also coming from a leading industry group. Designed for one-screen “is this name an A-grade setup?” triage.
  • Entry timer signals — multi-timeframe momentum indicators for intraday long/short entries
  • MA meter — moving-average status across 5 timeframes for trend confirmation
  • Trade management overlays — ATR-based stop-loss levels (1.5× ATR) and extension readings (Ext%, distance from the 20-day MA in ±ATR units) shown directly in the holdings table to flag overbought/oversold conditions and suggest risk-defined exits
  • Options sentiment — put/call ratios and flow analysis for contrarian positioning signals
  • News + social-media sentiment — a 0–100 composite for every ETF and US stock, blending recent article tone, daily aggregated sentiment, the share of positive stories, and an article-volume amplifier. Each ticker opens a scorecard with a 30-day trend, the latest headlines, and links to live news feeds. Refreshed daily at 05:00 UTC from aggregated news and social-media data.
  • Advanced screener — 60+ filterable fields including performance periods (1W–YTD), Ichimoku cloud, candlestick patterns, pivot points, analyst consensus, short interest, earnings/ex-div dates, and IV rank
  • Screen library — 50+ research-backed, one-click screens covering Minervini VCP setups, O'Neil pivots, Weinstein Stage 2 leaders, dividend aristocrats, short candidates and macro-regime tilts. Each screen is graded A–D by evidence quality and deep-linkable from the dashboard or shareable as a URL.
  • Interactive charts with indicators — every ticker opens a full TradingView-style chart with overlays for the 5/10/20/50/200 MAs, VWAP, Bollinger Bands, Ichimoku cloud and pivot levels, plus oscillator panes for RSI, MACD, ADX/DI, Stochastics and the TTM Squeeze. Mark earnings, ex-dividend dates and your own entry/stop/target levels directly on the chart.
  • Grid view (side-by-side charts) — open the same interactive chart for several tickers at once, laid out side-by-side on one screen with a synchronised timeframe and the same indicator overlays. Useful for comparing leaders vs laggards, ETF deep-dives, watchlist triage and pre-market scanning.
  • Stock profiles — one-click profile cards showing fund overview, sector breakdown, top holdings, and key statistics

Built By

Sector Rotation Monitor is operated by Neremar Advisory Ltd (registered in England and Wales, company number 08828600), a London-based advisory firm focused on technology and digital media ventures.

The platform was founded by Pavlos Papanicolaou, Director of Neremar Advisory, who brings over twenty years of combined experience across venture capital, private equity, strategy consulting, and entrepreneurship. He holds a BEng in Naval Architecture from the University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne.

Sector Rotation Monitor was built to solve a problem he kept hitting as an active investor: no single tool covered cross-asset relative strength, macro regime, and stock-level scoring in one place.

We're in Beta

Sector Rotation Monitor is currently in beta. We're actively developing new features, refining the data pipeline, and improving the user experience. Things may occasionally break, data may lag, and not every edge case is covered yet.

This is a founder-led project — built with care and conviction. Your patience and feedback are what make it better. If something looks off, or you have an idea for improvement, please use the Send Feedback button in the dashboard or email us directly.
