Group rotation is a phenomenon where institutions exert buying or selling pressure in an industry group, pushing prices of the group higher or higher relative to the general market. An industry can often lead or lag the market, and the most highly correlated stocks (mirror closest to the overall move in that group) usually move in unison.
