Feedback is that people find this analysis useful, so I will continue to publish it - I use it as a filter for my own trading.

Just a quick reminder of the criteria for the analysis:
to have a long bias in a sector the sector needs to pass 5 tests:
relative strength >5% versus market; price above 200 day moving average; Kagi in Yang mode (bullish); 3 line break chart in up trend; 13-26-52 moving average combo in up trend

To have a short bias in a sector the sector needs to pass 5 tests:
relative strength <5% versus market; price below 200 day moving average; Kagi in Jin mode (bearish); 3 line break chart in down trend; 13-26-52 moving average combo in down trend

There are 40 sectors in total - I am neutral on 23.

Bullish bias on twelve: Aerospace and defence; Chemicals; Electronic & electrical equipment; Food producers; Forestry and paper; Health care; Industrial engineering; Industrial metals; Non life insurance; Personal goods; Tobacco; Travel & Leisure

Bearish bias on five: Alternative energy; Financial services; Fixed line telecoms; General retailers; Real estate investment trusts

Just to clarify if I am trading UK stocks I wont look at any in the neutral sectors. To go long both the sector and the stock itself has to pass the five tests for bullish bias; to go short both the sector and the stock itself has to pass the five tests for bearish bias
