Broad market doing better than Nifty!


By vivek.deveshwar - Posted on Wed,  18 March 2009   19:51

Nifty has advanced 8.6% in 5 trading sessions from 2573 on 9th Mar to 2794 today. 

Following table gives information on Nifty percent changes and stocks AD ratio over 5 days. That information is based on day to day comparison.

Later in the table it gives up and down % changes over 5 days. So Today figure in Up % 5 Days refers to % change from price 5 days ago i.e. D-5. D-1 figure refers to % change from D-6. It will be easier to figure out from table given below.

The decent number of stocks in Up 12-16% and Up > 16% shows that many stocks in broader market have performed better than Nifty index. This is reversal of previous few weeks/months when strength in Nifty index was not reflected in non-Nifty stocks. Same is corroborated by AD Ratio and NH-NL values over 5 days. This information shows that there is strength in broad market, and probably a better indication of market health than just Nifty movements.  This could be explained that these stocks had declined more previously.  But that trend of broad market underperformance has been halted and reversed in the short term.

Nifty failed to close above 2800 levels today. Previously it has been seen that 2800-2830 zone is a psychological hurdle above which Nifty tends to look for gaining further ground. At the same time it does not seem that Nifty will fall and sustain below 2700-2750 in short term.
