How we compute this

Each of the 12 sectors is scored on four legs: breadth (the advance/decline ratio across its constituents), momentum (average intraday velocity in basis points and acceleration), volume (participation relative to typical turnover) and technicals (average RSI and the share of constituents trading above VWAP). These blend into the composite score shown in the ranking above — a same-session read of sector health, not a price target.

Relative strength here is the gap between a sector’s average intraday velocity and the all-sector average, in basis points — a positive gap means the sector is moving faster than the broader tape this session, a negative gap means it’s lagging. Because it’s built from intraday velocity (rate of price change per unit time, not start-to-end distance), a sector can lead mid-session even while its EOD % change looks unremarkable, or fade if it decelerates into the close. That’s what makes this a rotation lens — where participation is shifting right now — rather than a static scoreboard of returns.

Leaders and laggards per sector are the constituents with the strongest and weakest intraday velocity, alongside their volume ratio — so a “leader” with low volume reads differently than one trading on heavy turnover. It’s one of several participation lenses Draconic reads alongside 176+ other signals — surfaced here for free.

Frequently asked

What is sector rotation?

Sector rotation is the shift of relative strength between sectors as market participation moves — e.g. from defensives like pharma and FMCG into cyclicals like banks and metals, or vice versa. Tracking it shows where money is observed to be flowing right now, sector by sector.

What does the composite score measure?

The composite score blends each sector's breadth (advance/decline ratio), momentum (velocity and acceleration), volume participation and technical positioning (RSI, % above VWAP) into a single 0-100 rank. It's a same-session read of sector health, not a forecast.

What is relative strength vs market?

Here it's the gap between a sector's average intraday velocity and the all-sector average, in basis points. A positive gap means the sector is moving faster than the market this session (observed leading); a negative gap means it's lagging — read alongside breadth so a fast mover isn't mistaken for broad participation.

How is this different from end-of-day sector % change?

EOD % change only shows where a sector ended relative to the previous close. This read uses intraday velocity (basis points per unit time) and acceleration across the session, so a sector that's decelerating into the close reads differently here than a flat EOD number would suggest — it's a rotation lens, not a scoreboard.

Is this a buy or sell signal?

No. This page is educational analysis of observed sector participation — not advice, a recommendation, or a prediction. Leaders and laggards shown are historical/current structure, not targets. Cross-check before acting.
