11 sectors, ranked by Z-score of net signal activity (heating → cooling) as of 2026-08-21. Refreshed at the open, midday and close.
One view of which US sectors are heating up and which are cooling, measured by how many bullish versus bearish technical signals fired across the stocks inside each one. The Z-score column places today's reading against that sector's own normal range, so a sector that is always busy does not automatically sit at the top. Read it as a map of where attention is moving, before choosing which individual names to look at.
US sectors ranked by net signal activity (bullish minus bearish triggers) across their constituent stocks, with a Z-score showing how unusual today's activity is versus the sector's own 1-year norm — a top-down read on rotation. Derived from the CHRT index tree. Descriptive, not equity-backtested.
