In this edition of StockCharts TV's Sector Spotlight, after last week's look at long-term trends on monthly charts, I focus on daily and weekly rotations as I see them in asset classes and sectors. In the asset class segment, developments in the bond markets play a key role. Based on a large reversal pattern that is currently playing out, a rise to 3% in US 10-year yields is very possible in coming months. In the stock market, the defensive sectors continue to lead while the rotations; the price charts for both Technology and Consumer Discretionary are getting more and more dangerous.
