Just a quick question cause I don't have access to the data for some of those sectors: Whats the Banking Sector and Institution Holding sector specifically measure?

[Soultrader]

hmm.. best to check what the basket of stocks contained in the sector.

Institutional Holdings Index: No Ticker Symbol - Yahoo! Finance
Banking Index: Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. : Research or http://www.phlx.com/products/sectors/BKX_origspecs.pdf

Watch for the banking sector closely though. It works as a leading indicator at times.

As an alternative to looking at sectors you can look at the individual DJIA stocks which include Citibank for banking and Intel for semiconductors. Banking seems to be a laggard in the current rally.

You think so? Hmm... one of my favorite sectors to watch is Banking and the semi's.

Heres a couple strategies for the YM.

Let's say the YM is testing the HOD. But Banking Index has failed and the Semi's may be rallying but not near the HOD... I look to fade the YM.

If the YM is reaching the HOD but Semi's make new highs followed by Banking... im looking for a breakout. (although I never play breakouts) Basically, I would not short.

That's definitely something I need to look into. The more you can read the behaviour of the underlying stocks the better because that's what drives the market. NYSE total volume is also interesting.
