The All Star Momentum Scan

While we go through our lists of sectors and stocks on a weekly basis, we thought of launching a product that would highlight the strongest performers in our universe. These are the ones 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. Then we 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.

KEI Industries has been making an appearance in various scans when it comes to strength in the market. While the trend in the broader market is still sideways, there are certain stocks that are displaying a clear direction of the trend, and we're going to focus on them.

KEI broke out above its resistance at 1,292 and has been hovering around that level. The fact that the price is holding above these levels is definitely a good sign. What we're waiting for is follow-through in this breakout. The indicator is close to the positive territory, the price broke out of a six-month base, and industrial stocks are putting up a better fight.

All these factors add to the strength of KEI.

We are bullish above the risk management level of 1,290 with a target close to 1,965.

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.
