In a new technical analysis market report, Oppenheimer analyst Ari Wald discusses the firm's top stock in each of nine market sectors. The picks are based on technical analysis of the stocks’ charts, and Oppenheimer ranks each sector from strongest to weakest.

1. Technology - Intuit Inc. (NYSE: INTU)

Analysts still see technology as the top sector with the most technical momentum. Intuit is the top pick in the space, and the stock has strong, well-defined support lines and recent breakouts in both its traditional price chart and a chart versus the application software segment.

2. Healthcare - Cigna Corporation (NYSE: CI)

Analysts also see Healthcare riding high from a technical perspective. Much like Intuit, Cigna has strong support and recent breakouts on both its standard chart and its chart versus the healthcare providers and services segment.

3. Consumer Discretionary - CarMax, Inc (NYSE: KMX)

The improving economy and low gas prices have left American consumers with a lot of extra spending money, and the Consumer Discretionary sector has been hot as of late. After forming a broad base dating back to 2011, CarMax recently broke out above multi-year resistance in its chart versus the specialty retail segment.

4. Financials - Goldman Sachs Group Inc (NYSE: GS)

Goldman recently broke out to its highest level since prior to the Financial Crisis and has an upward-sloping support line in place dating back to 2012.

5. Industrials - Honeywell International Inc. (NYSE: HON)

Oppenheimer believes that Honeywell has bottomed versus the aerospace & defense industry and could be beginning a new period of outperformance.

6. Consumer Staples - CVS Health Corp (NYSE: CVS)

CVS’s stock has been trading sideways in a narrow channel so far in 2015. However, with the stock continuing to demonstrate relative strength versus other food & staples retailers, Oppenheimer sees a breakout to the upside as more likely than a breakout to the downside.

7. Energy - Marathon Petroleum Corp (NYSE: MPC)

Marathon has been consolidating since a breakout in early 2015, and analysts believe that it will soon continue to lead refiners & marketers higher.

8. Materials - Sealed Air Corp (NYSE: SEE)

Sealed Air has been in a strong uptrend since mid-2012, and it has also been outperforming the containers & packaging segment during that same time.

9. Utilities - NiSource Inc. (NYSE: NI)

Coming in as Oppenheimer’s “best of the worst” Utility sector, NiSource has been riding the support of its climbing 200-day moving average since the beginning of 2013 and has shown no signs of slowing down anytime soon.
