The arrows on the model Relative Rotation Graph above show the idealized rotation, which is clockwise. Let's assume a sector is currently in the leading quadrant (green) and follow the idealized rotation. Remember, RS-Momentum is the leading indicator here and it will be the first to turn. From the leading quadrant, relative momentum will start to level off and RS-Momentum will move below 100, which will cause the sector to move into the lower right-hand quadrant (weakening). Extended weakness in relative momentum will ultimately affect the trend in relative performance and RS-Ratio will also move below 100, which would put the sector into the lagging quadrant (red). Once in the lagging quadrant, the first sign of strength will be an improvement in relative momentum. When RS-Momentum crosses above 100, the sector will move into the improving quadrant (blue). A sector in this quadrant still has a downtrend in relative performance, but RS-Momentum is improving and this could foreshadow a move into the leading quadrant (green). Extended strength in relative momentum will ultimately affect the trend in relative performance and RS-Ratio will move above 100. This will push the sector into the leading quadrant (green) and the cycle will start over again.
