Yes, The Nifty 500 Is Top Heavy

The original chart I shared was an inverted daily chart of the Equally-Weighted 10 Largest Nifty 500 Stocks.

Here's the correct chart. What we see is that prices, despite breaking the uptrend line from their December 2016 lows are grinding higher, just 3% below all-time highs and above an upward sloping 200-day moving average.

Given the current price action, I don't see any reason to be short and would err on the neutral/long side. For now the weight of the evidence suggest that this is a normal consolidation within a long-term uptrend.

One thing that I don't think people necessarily realize or appreciate is just how top heavy the Nifty 500 is. The 10 largest stocks make up roughly 40% of the index's weighting, so the direction of these stocks and the broader market cannot be disconnected for long periods of time. It's just math.

Given that this equally-weighted index is consolidating through time within a long-term uptrend, the higher probability is that it will eventually make new all-time highs. And if this index is breaking out to new highs, the broader market likely won't be far behind.
