    Sector Momentum Analysis

    Sharing some charts showing sector momentum analysis.

    Sector momentum analysis

    Using some simple examples to analyze trends and momentum.

    1. RSI above 60

    2. Price above multiple moving averages

    3. Near the 52-week high

    4. Swing analysis

    If more stocks in a sector are in a strong trend and momentum, it shows the strength of the sector.

    Currently, Nifty 50 index stocks are in momentum. If the reading of the sector is more than the Nifty, we can say that the sector is outperforming.

    Below is data.

    RSI above 60 can be defined as a strong momentum.

    Chart showing sector wise reading of RSI above 60.

    54% of Nifty 50 stocks and 41.50% of Nifty 500 stocks are trading above RSI 60.

    Sectors with more than Nifty have better performing stocks.

    Price above 20-day, 50-day and 100-day moving average shows stocks in strong uptrend and momentum.

    Chart showing the percentage of stocks trading above all three averages in each sector.

    2_Above 20 50 and 100.png

    80% of Nifty stocks are trading above all three averages and 59.70% of Nifty 500 stocks are trading above all three averages.

    Stocks trading within 5% of their 52-week high shows that the stock is in strong momentum.

    Chart showing the percentage of stocks trading within 5% of their 52-week high in each sector.

    3_Within 5% from 240-period high.png

    62% of Nifty 50 and 37.70% of Nifty 500 stocks are trading within 5% of their 52-week high.

    P&F is a swing chart.

    X% = Percentage of stocks in an uptrend

    DT% = Percentage of stocks given a breakout

    X% = Percentage of stocks with strong upside momentum - the higher the better

    O% = Percentage of stocks with strong downside momentum - the lower the better

    Nifty 50: 78% in uptrend, 60% breakout, 33% upside momentum, 4% downside momentum.

    4_1% breadth and 0.25% anchor breadth.png

    Sectors like CPSE, IT, Oil & Gas, FMCG are in momentum. More stocks in these sectors are in momentum than broader market indices.

    These sectors may continue to remain in strong momentum in medium-term.

    How about sectors turning to bullish momentum?

    When a sector crosses the 50% mark during bullish swings, there is a likelihood that it will gain momentum. Picking the outperforming stocks of those sectors is an effective strategy.

    65 Definedge sectors were scanned to check sectors crossing 50 mark. Below is their chart with performing stocks of the sectors based on the ultimate matrix study.

    Definedge - Logistics Sector

    Definedge - Textile sector

    Definedge Textile.png

    Definedge - Engineering & Construction Sector

    Eng and const chart.png

    Definedge - Pharma Sector

    Process:

    Step 1: Look for sectors crossing the 50 mark (Breadth chart and Breadth scanner)

    Step 2: Run the Ultimate matrix of that sector to find better performing stocks

    Step 3: Price analysis of those stocks to determine entry points and stop-loss

    Thanks....this was helpful. Breadth chart in Rzone is quite exhaustive, but difficult to understand how to use it better. This will work as a guide.

    It is a simple yet effective way to look at momentum strategy, but how do you check over bought situation or end of momentum ? How do you compare stocks for their strength ?
