Market Strength Map
Compare relative leadership, absolute price performance and changing momentum.

Methodology, score breakdown and data limitations
Score /100: clipped component scores for relative trend 38%, momentum 20%, ratio return 14%, direction 10%, heuristic confidence 8%, delivery 5%, flow 5%, plus existing quadrant and direction bonuses. Weights and formulas are unchanged. It is a descriptive ranking, not a forecast.
Heuristic /100: history depth up to 42 points, heading persistence 34, distance from neutral 14 and acceleration stability 10. This is not a calibrated win probability.
Ratio return = (instrument normalized growth / benchmark normalized growth − 1) × 100, not a subtraction in percentage points. Missing observations can cause different start baselines; matching start dates cannot be verified from this response.
Normalized trend and momentum are centered on 100 and bounded 84–116. Both within ±0.8 means neutral. Horizontal movement changes relative trend; vertical movement changes relative momentum, not absolute price. This is an independent custom model.
The API constructs the benchmark from an equal-weight normalized basket of constituents, rather than the published capitalization-weighted index. Missing delivery can be filled with neutral defaults upstream; reported flow cannot establish data availability. Delivery dates and expected coverage are unavailable. No replay exists on this page.
How to work the map
The sequence this canvas enforces
Anchor the benchmark
Pick the reference that matches the decision — broad allocation against Nifty 500, sector rotation against Nifty 50, and a timeframe aligned with your holding period. Weekly for swings, daily for tactics, intraday only for timing.
Read the rotation
Position shows where strength sits; the trail shows how it got there. Points inside the ±0.8 dead zone carry no signal — distance from the benchmark is what makes a rotation worth acting on.
Review delivery evidence
Delivery and flow are inferred signals, not proof of institutional buying. The API supplies neither delivery as-of dates nor an explicit missing-delivery flag.
Execute with structure
The desk-bias chips frame intent — press, build, hold, reduce, avoid — but entries, stops and sizing always return to the price chart. The map selects candidates; it does not time trades.
What the Market Strength Map is designed to find
Each sector or stock is reduced to two volatility-adjusted measures against the chosen benchmark: a relative-strength index on the horizontal axis and the rate of change in that strength on the vertical axis, both centred on a neutral 100. The math runs in log-relative space — a fast/slow EMA spread scaled by realized relative volatility and bounded between 84 and 116 — so equal percentage moves score symmetrically regardless of a group's headline volatility. A ±0.8 dead zone around the benchmark suppresses false rotation signals, while trails, velocity arrows and delivery overlays show whether each move is persistent, accelerating and sponsored by real money. Use it to decide where leadership concentrates, where it is rolling over, and which recoveries deserve a watchlist before they deserve capital.
How to read the ranking table
Meaning of every column
Rank by score for a quick tape, then validate: leaders need delivery sponsorship, recoveries need rising confidence, and any state change needs the trail agreeing with the latest dot.
Exchange symbol with sector beneath it. Click a sector row to drill into constituents on the chart.
0–100 composite: relative trend carries the largest weight, then momentum, alpha, direction, confidence and delivery flow.
Last 8 rotations through relative-strength space. Direction and curvature beat any single dot.
Rotation quadrant respecting the dead zone: leading, recovering, fading, lagging or neutral.
Volatility-adjusted measures centred on 100. Above 100 = outperformance; momentum above 100 = the gap is widening.
Ratio-based relative return: (normalized instrument growth / normalized benchmark growth − 1) × 100. Baseline alignment is not exposed by the API.
Vector speed of the rotation with acceleration arrow; confidence blends history depth, persistence and stability.
Conviction layer: delivery strength versus its own baseline, accumulation/distribution flow, and the resulting desk bias.
Market strength map questions
Common questions about the canvas
What is the Market Strength Map?
It compares Indian sectors or stocks against a benchmark using normalized relative strength and momentum change, making it easier to separate strong, recovering, fading and weak groups.
Which benchmarks are available?
The map supports Nifty 50, Nifty 500, Bank Nifty, Nifty Midcap and Nifty Smallcap benchmarks with daily, weekly, 15-minute and 1-hour views.
How does delivery flow help comparative analysis?
Delivery flow is an inferred accumulation/distribution signal. Delivery alone does not establish institutional buying; its as-of date is unavailable here.
How should traders use the four strength states?
The states are a decision framework, not automatic buy and sell calls. Strong and rising groups show established leadership, weak and recovering groups may be rebuilding, strong and fading groups need closer risk control, and weak and falling groups require proof of recovery.
Risk noteRelative strength describes the past; regimes rotate without notice. The desk-bias chips are a framing device, not advice — position sizing, stops, earnings dates and market-wide risk checks remain yours. Delivery data reflects the latest exchange snapshot and can be revised.
