Sector Rotation Dashboard (Beta)

🎯 OVERVIEW

The Sector Rotation Indicator is a comprehensive real-time dashboard that tracks money flow across all 11 S&P 500 sector ETFs and 6 major macro assets. It automatically detects market regimes (Risk-On, Risk-Off, Tech-Led), flags anomalies, and shows you where institutional money is flowing.

Whether you're trading individual stocks, sector ETFs, or managing a portfolio, this indicator tells you:
• Which sectors are leading/lagging (ranked by relative strength)
• What market regime we're in (Risk-On, Risk-Off, Tech-Led, Mixed)
• Where the anomalies are (sectors behaving unexpectedly)
• How confident the signals are (based on cross-sector confirmation)
• What sector ETF the current chart ticker belongs to, if any (with rank and RS%)
