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.

Honestly, very little is currently moving up in commodities. For quite some time now we've been updating our stance on the commodity cycle and what we think of it. But over the past few months, the market has been messy, to say the least. In this kind of a mess, I find myself questioning the move in the base metals and precious metals pretty often. And while we haven't gotten any confirmation on that front, the confusion persists.

So then, what are we talking about here today? Let's take a look inside!

This week we're looking for a long setup in the Financial Services sector. Slowly, we're seeing a resolution in trend in the names that we've been tracking. And this is one of them.

We retired our "Five Bull Market Barometers" in mid-July to make room for a new weekly post that's focused on the three most important charts for the week ahead.

This is that post, so let's jump into this week's edition.

We held our June Monthly Conference Call on 22nd which our Premium Members can access and rewatch here.

In this post, we'll share five of the most important charts along with JC's commentary of them and a brief explanation for each.

We debuted a new scan recently- The Outperformers.

The Outperformers is our newest scan that pinpoints the very best stocks in the market. It’s the fastest, easiest way to find quality names that are primed for major moves.

The goal is that as the market rally progresses, the sector rotation within the market will reflect in this scan. So while our Top/Down Analysis helps us with the broader view of the market, this Bottom/Up scan makes sure that we catch the slightest change in sentiment.

The process of analysis is such that there are times when trends emerge and times when things are simply messy. Over the past week, with the halt in the trend of the major indices, something emerged on the charts. This something demanded attention.

Negative divergences appear when momentum does not follow the price movement. When there is a disparity between the price move and the indicator, it is a sign of caution. Not to say that a contrary position can be assumed immediately, but the sentiment certainly turns cautious!

So what is it that's hinting at being cautious in this market?

Let's take a look!

The market indices together are saying that the current trend isn't as strong as it seems. Why do we say so?

Here we have our stock universe Nifty 500. This past week's close brought along with it a negative divergence on the chart. As can be seen below, despite the price making a higher high, the indicator went on to mark a lower high. When this happens, we get an insight into the inherent strength of the market. Or in this case, weakness.

This week we're looking for a long setup in the Consumer goods sector. With the market finding its way around, defensives like Consumer goods are picking up pace.

Today we will share one such idea that stands out from a risk-reward perspective.

We retired our "Five Bull Market Barometers" in mid-July to make room for a new weekly post that's focused on the three most important charts for the week ahead.

This is that post, so let's jump into this week's edition.

One of the most telling and obvious risk-on indicators would be the Nifty Small Cap 100 index. Why is that so?

Because when you look at a market rally, the longevity of that particular rally can be gauged by market participation. This is something that should be viewed closely. If a particular index is making new highs, how many stocks are contributing to that move?

Is it a handful? Is it a majority of the stocks? These are data points that will hint at the inherent sentiment of the move.

So let's take a look at what the Small Cap-100 new highs are telling us.

Breadth indicators are important to see the internal structure of a market move. We get valuable insights from what we see that can help us determine the strength of the trend.

First up let's take a look at the most immediate tactical view. Let's take a look at the % of stocks making new highs//lows over a 10-day period. What we find is that as the Small cap 100 index clocked new highs, the % of stocks making 10-day highs contracted. On the other hand, we got a minor expansion in the % of stocks making 10-day lows.
