Sector leadership

How to read thisEach sector is scored by the average conviction decile of its stocks — where each stock sits from 1 (bottom) to 10 (top) versus peers of its own size. Tech counts names with leading price action (top three deciles); fund counts names with leading financials. Click any sector to expand it into a table of its stocks scored across every lens.

The 5 strongest and 5 weakest sectors by their stocks’ average conviction (1–10). Click a sector to expand its stocks scored across all five lenses.

Participation

Market breadth

Market breadthHow many of the Nifty 500 are taking part — counts of names, not percentages. Above-EMA rows count names trading above that moving average; golden crosses are names whose 50-EMA sits above their 200-EMA; net new highs is 52-week highs minus lows. Each column is the count on that day, so you can read the trend directly.

Number of Nifty 500 stocks out of 495 participating — compare today with a week and a month ago to see if breadth is widening or narrowing.

Cap-tier leadership

Returns by size

Returns by sizeTotal return of each size cohort over five windows, plus the small/mid-cap spread vs large-cap. A positive spread means smaller caps are leading. The z-score gauges how stretched small-cap leadership is vs its own 1-year norm.

How each size band has performed. SC−LC / MC−LC are small- and mid-cap returns minus large-cap — positive means smaller companies are leading the market.

Breadth historyHow many of the ~500 Nifty 500 constituents sit above each trend EMA, plus the net 52-week new-high count (highs − lows). Counts are instruments (integers), tracked daily over up to 10 years — rising breadth = a broadening advance. Use the window toggle to zoom the history.
