The RRG sector rotation NSE screener helps traders identify which sectors are gaining or losing momentum relative to the broader market. By plotting sectors on a relative strength vs. momentum grid, you can quickly spot leaders, laggards, and turning points for tactical allocation.
Why RRG Sector Rotation Matters for NSE Traders
Sector rotation is a cornerstone of institutional portfolio management, and the RRG (Relative Rotation Graph) makes it visual and actionable. By using the RRG sector rotation screener, you can see which sectors are entering the 'Leading' quadrant (high relative strength and rising momentum) and avoid those in 'Lagging' (low relative strength and falling momentum).
For example, in July 2026, Nifty Bank and IT may show strong upward RS-Ratio while Pharma might be weakening. This allows you to rotate capital into the strongest groups before the broader market catches on. The screener updates daily with NSE closing data, giving you a fresh view of sector leadership.
The Leading quadrant is where you want to be: sectors here have both high relative strength (RS-Ratio > 100) and rising momentum (RS-Momentum > 100). These are the sectors most likely to outperform in the near term.
How to Use the RRG Sector Rotation Screener (Step-by-Step)
Combine the RRG screener with the momentum screener to filter individual stocks within a leading sector. For example, if Nifty Bank is in the Leading quadrant, use the momentum screener to find the strongest banking stocks.
Key Indicators in the RRG Sector Rotation Screener
| Indicator | Threshold | Signal | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| RS-Ratio | > 100 | ✅ Bullish | Indicates the sector is outperforming the Nifty 500 index on a relative basis. |
| RS-Momentum | > 100 | ✅ Bullish | Shows that the relative strength is accelerating, confirming upward momentum. |
| RS-Ratio & RS-Momentum both > 100 | Leading quadrant | ⚡ Watch | Sector is in the strongest quadrant; ideal for long positions. |
| RS-Ratio < 100 & RS-Momentum < 100 | Lagging quadrant | ❌ Bearish | Sector is underperforming and losing momentum; avoid long trades. |
A common mistake is entering a sector as soon as it enters the Leading quadrant without confirming momentum. Wait for RS-Momentum to be above 100 and rising for at least 3 days to avoid false signals.
