You mean a Sector Rotation?

Yet with no overall advance in the market? Off hand, usually I think you get periodic corrections accompanied by stabs to get out of the range with one or two of those stabs being successful. I remember seeing a few examples recently....Summer '95 or '96 was one.....I am pretty hung up at the moment trying to convince myself I'm on the correct side of my current trade and cannot focus on anything else right now. But I think if you look at selected weekly charts over the last 4 years your will see similar patterns to this recent one.

As I recall, this rotating correction will jump out at you here and there and is usually resolved in the above fashion...with one or two rallies succeeding in getting to new highs and then a collapse as strength is completely spent by the bullish camp. The % moves won't look as great because the mind's eye is fooled because the DJIA was so much lower than it is today. Looking at "snapshots", therefore, will provide a better view, I would think.
