Sector Analyst
Overview
This skill enables comprehensive analysis of sector rotation and market cycle positioning by fetching uptrend ratio data from TraderMonty's public CSV dataset. It ranks sectors, calculates cyclical vs defensive risk regime scores, identifies overbought/oversold conditions, and estimates the current market cycle phase. Chart images can optionally supplement the data driven analysis with industry level detail.
When to Use This Skill
Use this skill when:
User requests sector rotation analysis (no chart images required)
User asks about cyclical vs defensive positioning
User wants to know which sectors are overbought or oversold
User requests market cycle phase estimation
User provides sector performance charts for supplementary analysis
User asks for sector based scenario analysis or predictions
Example user requests:
"Run a sector rotation analysis"
"Which sectors are leading — cyclical or defensive?"
"Are any sectors overbought right now?"
"What phase of the market cycle are we in?"
"Analyze these sector performance charts and tell me where we are in the market cycle"
Prerequisites
Python 3.9+ ; no third party libraries required (CSV fetched via stdlib urllib )
No API keys required — data is fetched from a public GitHub repository
Optional : Sector performance chart images for supplementary analysis
Data Source
Sector uptrend ratios are fetched from TraderMonty's public GitHub repository (no API key required):
Sector Summary : sector summary.csv — uptrend ratio, trend, slope, and status per sector
Freshness Check : uptrend ratio timeseries.csv — max(date) used to verify data recency
Running the Script
Analysis Workflow
Follow this structured workflow:
Step 1: CSV Data Collection
1. Run the analysis script: python3 scripts/analyze sector rotation.py
2. Extract from the output:
Sector ranking by uptrend ratio
Risk regime (cyclical vs defensive) and score
Overbought/oversold sectors
Cycle phase estimate and confidence level
3. If a data freshness warning appears, note it in the analysis
Step 2: Market Cycle Assessment
Use the script's cycle phase estimate as a starting point:
Read references/sector rotation.md to access market cycle and sector rotation frameworks
Compare the script's quantitative findings against expected patterns for each cycle phase:
Early Cycle Recovery
Mid Cycle Expansion
Late Cycle
Recession
Add qualitative interpretation informed by the knowledge base
If chart images are provided, use them to supplement with industry level detail:
Extract industry level performance data from chart images
Compare 1 week vs 1 month performance for trend consistency
Note specific industries showing strength or weakness within sectors
Step 3: Current Situation Analysis
Synthesize observations into an objective assessment:
State which market cycle phase current performance most closely resembles
Highlight supporting evidence (which sectors/industries confirm this view)
Note any contradictory signals or unusual patterns
Assess confidence level based on consistency of signals
Use data driven language and specific references to performance figures.
Step 4: Scenario Development
Based on sector rotation principles and current positioning, develop 2 4 potential scenarios for the next phase:
For each scenario:
Describe the market cycle transition
Identify which sectors would likely outperform
Identify which sectors would likely underperform
Specify the catalysts or conditions that would confirm this scenario
Assign a probability (see Probability Assessment Framework in sector rotation.md)
Scenarios should range from most likely (highest probability) to alternative/contrarian scenarios.
Step 5: Output Generation
Create a structured Markdown document with the following sections:
Required Sections:
1. Executive Summary : 2 3 sentence overview of key findings
2. Current Situation : Detailed analysis of current performance patterns and market cycle positioning
3. Supporting Evidence : Specific sector and industry performance data supporting the cycle assessment
4. Scenario Analysis : 2 4 scenarios with descriptions and probability assignments
5. Recommended Positioning : Strategic and tactical positioning recommendations based on scenario probabilities
6. Key Risks : Notable risks or contradictory signals to monitor
Output Format
Save analysis results as a Markdown file with naming convention: sector analysis YYYY MM DD.md

Key Analysis Principles
When conducting analysis:
1. Objectivity First : Let the data guide conclusions, not preconceptions
2. Probabilistic Thinking : Express uncertainty through probability ranges
3. Multiple Timeframes : Compare 1 week and 1 month data for trend confirmation
4. Relative Performance : Focus on relative strength, not absolute returns
5. Breadth Matters : Broad based moves are more significant than isolated movements
6. No Absolutes : Markets rarely follow textbook patterns exactly
7. Historical Context : Reference typical rotation patterns but acknowledge uniqueness
Probability Guidelines
Apply these probability ranges based on evidence strength:
70 85% : Strong evidence with multiple confirming signals across sectors and timeframes
50 70% : Moderate evidence with some confirming signals but mixed indicators
30 50% : Weak evidence with limited or conflicting signals
15 30% : Speculative scenario contrary to current indicators but possible
Total probabilities across all scenarios should sum to approximately 100%.

Important Notes
All analysis thinking should be conducted in English
Output Markdown files must be in English
Reference the sector rotation knowledge base for each analysis
Maintain objectivity and avoid confirmation bias
Update probability assessments if new data becomes available
Chart images are optional; CSV data provides the primary analysis input
The script uses the same sector classification as uptrend analyzer for consistency
