Sector Accumulation Signal
Maps the accumulation-to-distribution ratio across every sector — identifying where institutional money is building positions versus where it is exiting. Sectors above 1.5x ratio are BUILDING. Below 0.8x are EXITING. This is one of the earliest indicators of sector rotation, surfacing the trend before price confirms it.

Rotation Intelligence
ETF Sector — 14 Accumulating vs 2 Distributing (7x ratio): The extreme accumulation ratio in ETFs signals broad-based institutional basket buying. This is the most bullish reading in the entire dataset — institutions are adding exposure across the board via index instruments, not cherry-picking individual names.
Financial Services — 171 Accumulating: The largest absolute accumulation count of any sector. Financial Services is seeing broad institutional building, consistent with rate environment expectations and earnings cycle positioning.
Industrials — 196 Distributing vs 50 Accumulating: The clearest exit signal. Institutions are reducing industrial exposure at a 4:1 distribution-to-accumulation ratio. This aligns with late-cycle rotation patterns where cyclical industrials are trimmed in favor of defensive and financial allocations.
Healthcare — Near parity (94 acc / 95 dist): Healthcare is in genuine transition. The sector is neither being built nor exited — it is in a positioning reset, which often precedes a sector-specific catalyst resolving the direction.
