The All Star Momentum Scan

We debuted a new scan recently which goes by the name- All Star Momentum.

All Star Momentum is a brand new scan that pinpoints the very best stocks in the market. This time around, we have incorporated our stock universe of Nifty 500 as the base. Among the 500 stocks that we follow, this scan will pump out names that are most likely to generate great returns.

While we go through our lists of sectors and stocks on a weekly basis, we thought of launching a product that would highlight the names that are the strongest performers in our universe and those that are primed for an explosive move.

Just like The Outperformers scan, this is a list of stocks belonging to the sectors that display relative strength in the market at any given point in time. Since sector rotation is the lifeblood of a bull market, we will be ahead of the curve before the gears keep shifting.

Here is the list of The All Star Momentum Scan that we sorted by way of relative strength. These stocks have been selected on the basis of inter- and intra- sectoral performances. So while these belong to the sectors that are outperforming the market, these stocks are also outperforming their peers within the same sector.

In order to identify the high momentum stocks, we scanned the Nifty 500 index on the basis of relative strength and sorted them on the basis of the distance between the current market price and their respective all-time highs.

This is a bottom-up scan that keeps us on our toes. Any new development in price and sector rotation reflects in this list. Sometimes with so much going on one may overlook an interesting story developing in a specific sector. This scan helps us remain up-to-date with all that's happening in the market.

To make sure that we're getting the best out of the scan we look for outperforming stocks within the outperforming sectors!

Quite often, we see the same names coming up in different scans, but that is something we love to see! If different processes and scans are directing us towards the same name, that just means we should not turn away from the inherent strength in that particular stock.

So what stands out this week?

Let's take a look!

Galaxy Surfactants has been appearing in our Trade Ideas list for some time now. And today is no different!

The price has now absorbed the overhead supply close to the resistance of 3,150. With this move, we have a breakout at our hands. Post the big base break out in late 2020 we saw a clean and nice follow-through. And as we always say, the resistance is as good a place as any for a trend to halt.

This is exactly what happened at the level of 3,150. Take a look at the indicator panel at the bottom. RSI is now in bullish territory again after a prolonged period of a sideways price move.

We are bullish only as long as the price trades above the risk management level of 3,150. The next target to track would be 4,560.

This bottom-up scan helps us winnow down to the strongest stocks among as many as 500 scrip codes! So while we continue with our top-down analysis for a broader market perspective, an additional layer of the bottom-up scan adds to our process making sure that we're not missing the names that are experiencing the strongest moves.

Thanks for reading and please let us know if you have any questions.
