Aggregate analysis across all 33 scanners showing which sectors have the most high-grade setups. Institutional money flow made visible. Updated daily.
Run this scan →The Sector Rotation Heatmap represents a fundamentally different approach to market analysis. Instead of examining individual stocks, it aggregates results from all 33 scanners to paint a picture of where institutional money is flowing at the sector level. Sectors with the highest concentration of A+ and A setups are the ones where institutional demand is strongest across multiple independent methodologies.
The logic is straightforward but powerful. If Technology has 23 A+ setups, 45 A setups, and 42 B+ setups across bull flags, VCPs, Minervini trend templates, insider buying, and other scanners — while Energy has only 5 A+ setups and 12 A setups — the signal is clear: institutional money is heavily flowing into Technology. This cross-scanner aggregation provides a view that no single indicator can match, because it synthesizes pattern recognition, fundamental screening, volume analysis, and insider activity into a single sector-level scorecard.
The weighted scoring system — where A+ setups count 4 points, A setups count 3, B+ count 2, and B count 1 — ensures that quality trumps quantity. A sector with fewer total setups but a higher concentration of A+ grades will rank above a sector with many mediocre setups. Sectors are ranked by this weighted score, with the top 2 earning A+ grades and subsequent tiers following the standard grading scale. Each sector entry shows its top tickers so you can immediately drill into the leaders driving the sector's strength.
Sector rotation theory was formalized by Sam Stovall in his work at Standard & Poor's, published in S&P's Guide to Sector Investing (1996). The concept of sectors rotating through business cycles was influenced by earlier work on the stock market cycle by Martin Zweig, Edson Gould, and the National Bureau of Economic Research. Fidelity Investments popularized sector-based investing through their Select sector mutual funds starting in the 1980s. In modern markets, quantitative firms like Renaissance Technologies and AQR Capital Management use sophisticated sector momentum and rotation models as key components of their trading systems. The aggregation of multi-scanner results into a sector heatmap is a novel approach that synthesizes technical and fundamental signals at the sector level.
Our scanner evaluates the following criteria when detecting Sector Rotation Heatmap setups across 5,000+ stocks daily.
For sector rotation, an A+ grade means the sector ranks in the top 2 by weighted setup score — calculated as (A+ × 4) + (A × 3) + (B+ × 2) + (B × 1) — across all scanners. An A grade covers the next 2 sectors. B+ covers the next 3 sectors. B covers any remaining sector with 5+ total setups detected. This is not a prediction of future price movement — it is a way to prioritize which charts deserve your attention first.
Use the sector heatmap as a top-down allocation guide. Overweight your portfolio toward the top 2-3 sectors and underweight or avoid the bottom-ranked sectors. Within favored sectors, select individual stocks using the top tickers listed for each sector.
Reassess sector allocation when the heatmap shifts — if a sector drops from A+ to B or lower, reduce exposure. Sector rotation typically unfolds over weeks to months, so check the heatmap at least weekly to stay aligned with the current flow of capital.
The target is sustained outperformance through sector alignment. By consistently overweighting sectors where the most scanner signals converge, you position your portfolio to benefit from the same institutional flows that are driving the setup concentration.
