To get the most out of this tool, follow these strategic guidelines for identifying and acting on sector trends.

* **Identify Leadership**: Look for sectors in the **Leading** phase with high Relative Volume (RV) to confirm institutional conviction.
* **Early Cycle Plays**: Watch for Technology (XLK) and Consumer Discretionary (XLY) to enter the **Leading** phase as economic conditions shift from Recession to Early Recovery.
* **Defensive Rotation**: If Utilities (XLU) and Consumer Staples (XLP) begin **Improving** while growth sectors fade, it may signal a transition into a Recessionary phase.
* **Momentum Trading**: Focus on sectors that are both in the **Leading** phase and show increasing Relative Strength values.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.candelacharts.com/investing/market-structure-and-rotation/sector-rotation-map/usage.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
