EdgeOS tracks sector rotation through SCTR scores on the 11 SPDR sector ETFs (XLK, XLF, XLV, XLE, XLI, XLY, XLP, XLU, XLB, XLC, XLRE). When a sector ETF crosses into SCTR above 9, it enters the bullish momentum zone — meaning the sector's technical rank is outperforming the baseline. A T1 ignition on the sector ETF is the highest-conviction entry signal.
The most powerful setup in sector rotation is sector ETF T1 ignition + individual stock T1 ignitions within the same sector. When XLK fires a T1 ignition and NVDA or AAPL also fire T1 ignitions within 2–5 days, the probability of follow-through increases — because both the broad sector momentum and the individual stock momentum are aligned.
Sector rotation also produces relative SCTR analysis: compare a stock's SCTR to its sector ETF SCTR. If NVDA has SCTR 82 and XLK has SCTR 60, NVDA is outperforming its sector. If a stock has SCTR 30 when its sector ETF has SCTR 70, the stock is lagging internal sector rotation — avoid it even if the sector looks strong.
The current 🟡 Chop Regime means SPY's SCTR is between 4–9 (neutral zone). In this regime, leading sectors historically produce T1 ignitions with a 44% win rate.
The best-performing sector is determined by the highest SCTR score among the 11 SPDR sector ETFs (XLK, XLF, XLV, XLE, XLI, XLY, XLP, XLU, XLB, XLC, XLRE). SCTR (Stock Chart Technical Rank) measures momentum from 0–100. A sector with SCTR above 9 is in the bullish momentum zone. The table above ranks all 11 sectors by SCTR score in real time, updated every 5 minutes from the EdgeOS signal pipeline.
Sector rotation is the practice of moving money between sectors of the economy as the business cycle evolves. Classically: early cycle (recovery) favors Financials and Consumer Discretionary; mid cycle favors Technology and Industrials; late cycle favors Energy and Materials; recession favors Consumer Staples, Healthcare, and Utilities. The EdgeOS system tracks sector rotation by measuring SCTR scores and T1 ignition signals for all 11 sector ETFs, surfacing which sectors have active momentum signals and which are lagging.
When a sector ETF like XLK (Technology) shows a T1 ignition (bull count 1, SCTR above 9), there are two trading approaches: (1) trade the ETF directly — enter above the trigger price, target the +1 ATR level, stop below the lower trigger; (2) trade individual stocks within the sector that also have active T1 ignitions, using the sector ETF as the directional confirmation. The sector leaders section below the ranking table shows which stocks within the top 3 sectors currently have active bull counts. Historically, T1 signals on sector ETFs in the leading SCTR position have a 57% win rate (slightly above the 55% baseline for individual stocks).
SCTR (Stock Chart Technical Rank) for a sector ETF works identically to individual stocks: it measures the ETF's relative technical strength on a 0–100 scale using a weighted blend of long-term trend (EMA89, 21-week ROC), medium-term momentum (EMA34, 13-week ROC), and short-term momentum (3-bar PPO, RSI14). EdgeOS requires SCTR above 9 for bull signals and below 4 for bear signals on sector ETFs. When XLK has SCTR 78 and XLE has SCTR 22, it means Technology has strong multi-timeframe momentum and Energy does not — even if Energy had recent news-driven gains.
