The 11 GICS sectors
Hierarchy and classification mirror the sector orbs and the industrial matrices — same data file, same signal rules, refreshed after every US market close.
How it works — why industries get colors without an ETF (and what the badges mean)
What it is. The Entity Map is the full S&P 500 hierarchy behind the orbs: 11 sector ETFs → 127 GICS industries → 501 holdings. Every node is colored by the same accumulation / distribution / neutral score the orbs use, and every name links to its drill-down page.
The synthetic basket. Most GICS industries have no dedicated ETF — "Agricultural & Farm Machinery" is not traded on its own. So the map scores each industry as a synthetic equal-weight basket: an average price series of all its S&P 500 members, with member volume summed. The same three technical signals computed on the sector ETFs are then computed on that basket:
- Money Flow Index, 14 days (MFI) — 0–100 oscillator over typical price × volume. Above 50 = net buying pressure, below 50 = net selling pressure.
- Relative strength vs the S&P 500, 20 days — the basket's 20-session return minus SPY's over the same window.
- Volume pressure, 20-day z-score — today's volume vs its own 20-day average in standard deviations.
The colors. Green = accumulation (MFI ≥ 60 and positive relative strength); red = distribution (MFI ≤ 40 and negative); grey = neutral. Categories describe money flow pressure, not price direction.
The badges. A BUY or CONT badge fires when price confirms: BUY = distribution + close below the lower 1σ Bollinger band (oversold confirmation); CONT = accumulation + close above the upper 1σ band (momentum confirmation). Same 1σ rule as the orbs — no confirmation, no badge.
Index & benchmark ETFs. The band at the bottom scores the broad market the same way — SPY (S&P 500), QQQ (Nasdaq-100), IWM (Russell 2000), DIA (Dow 30) and VTI (total market). They set the backdrop: an index in distribution means the whole market is under selling pressure, so almost every sector will read red that day; an index in accumulation means the reverse. Use them to orient before reading any single sector: a sector ahead of a distribution index is genuinely strong, one behind an accumulation index is a laggard. QQQ vs IWM is the classic growth/small-cap tension — QQQ above IWM suggests big-cap growth leadership, IWM above QQQ points to broadening breadth. They are also the only way to compare like for like: RS is measured vs SPY, so SPY itself is zeroed by definition and acts as the reference.
Membership. Industries follow the GICS sub-industry of each company in today's S&P 500. Index changes quarterly; the mapping refreshes from the public constituents list.
