MOMENTUM
We run our proprietary momentum scoring algorithm on indices just like we do on stocks. You can use the momentum scores of sub-indices to get a sense for which sectors have the wind on their backs and those that are facing headwinds.
Traders can pick their longs in sectors with high short-term momentum and their shorts in sectors with low momentum. Investors can use the longer lookback scores to position themselves using our re-factored index Themes.
You can see how the momentum algorithm has performed on individual stocks here.
Here are the best and the worst sub-indices:

Relative strength spread shot through its long-term median – good for momentum strategies.
CONSUMPTION and MNC indices recovered from their drawdowns. Will NIFTY be next?
