Sector rotation

NSE relative rotation graph (RRG)

Every NSE sector plotted against the Nifty 50: how strong it is (RS-Ratio) and whether that strength is building or fading (RS-Momentum). Drop into a sector to see which industries inside it are actually carrying the move.

Nothing selected — the graph is empty. Tick an industry above, or show all industries.

Each dot is an industry; the trail behind it is the last 8 weeks, one point per week. Rotation normally runs clockwise: Improving → Leading → Weakening → Lagging. A bigger dot means more of the industry's stocks are in Stage 2. Use the chips above to isolate industries; the axes stay fixed so positions remain comparable.

L Leading · I Improving · W Weakening · G Lagging. Read the three history columns left to right to see the path: a run of I → L is a rotation being confirmed, L → W is one running out of road.

Breadth is how much of the industry is in Stage 2 (the percentage, and the size of its dot on the graph) compared with the other industries here: Strong a large share and growing, Building a small share but growing, Thinning a large share but shrinking, Weak a small share and shrinking.

How to read this

The horizontal axis is relative strength against the Nifty 50 — right of centre means the group is beating the index. The vertical axis is the momentum of that strength — above centre means the lead is still building. Both are measured against the group's own recent range rather than a fixed scale, so a position just past centre is a real move, not a rounding error.

Read the quadrant and the direction of travel, not the absolute distance. Groups normally rotate clockwise (Improving, Leading, Weakening, Lagging), and a tail curling back toward the centre is the earliest sign a run is ending. The most useful reading is a disagreement: something sitting in Leading with a tail already bending down is late, whatever the headline says.

Then check the breadth. The graph measures price against the Nifty; breadth counts how many of the group's own stocks are in a Stage 2 uptrend. When the two point the same way the move is broad. A group whose momentum is rising while fewer of its stocks hold Stage 2 is marked price ahead: a handful of names is carrying it. One where more stocks are entering Stage 2 while momentum still falls is marked breadth ahead, and that is often how a turn starts.
