Method in brief
Sector relative strength divides each sector ETF's price by the S&P 500 and reads the trend of that RATIO, not of price — a sector can fall and still gain relative strength if it falls less than the market. The scan tracks the eleven SPDR sector ratios daily, flags fresh RS breakouts and breakdowns, and charts each ratio against its own moving-average stack on the per-ETF pages. Leadership rotations show up here before they show in the headline sector returns. Construction and base rates in the Sector RS methodology; the current sector board in numbers on the US sector page.
