In this edition of StockCharts TV's Sector Spotlight, I look at current rotations in asset classes and sectors and highlight some changes in relative movements against the S&P 500 index. After the break, I bring up my 3-D visualization of (sector) seasonality and see if any of the expected returns based on seasonal performance match with rotations that are currently underway on the Relative Rotation Graph. With XLY curling back up towards the leading quadrant after a pause and AMZN ready to pop from a symmetrical triangle, things look good for Consumer Discretionary.
