In the Bearish market, price mostly remain below the upper point of the FP range, and vice-versa. Repeated move above and below the FP range are considered as sign of struggle between bulls and bears.
Dynamic nature of Extremes: You would notice that the extremes and fair price range are both dynamic and keep updating during the day. This is because the big players are continuously adding/removing their positions and this impacts extremes and FP range.
Visual Bulb Light: Visual light is an eye catching notification to let the trader know that market is losing steam while moving towards extreme. Market is likely to fall back to fair price or to remain very slow when alert is ON. Thus it is good to lower the risk.

NIFTY Cyclic Tracker keeps a watch on movement of its top-10 heavy weight stocks that account for more than 50% weightage. Over the last few years, there has been rise in index management instances i.e. managing the price levels of NIFTY with the help of these stocks. Index management, then, results into price moves in its F&O instruments. These stocks keep circling in 4 different phases at different times, thereby, keeping the levels of NIFTY stable. At times when these stocks clustering in single phase, it results in strong trend build up. Remember, cyclic tracker is not the buy/sell recommendation or advisory tool.
What are phases or quadrants (quad) of cycle?
Stock movements in any time range is cyclic in nature to larger extent. Such cyclic moves can be divided into 4 phases:
- Rising
- Strengthening
- Weakening/Falling
- Struggling
Common components of the tracker are:
- Size of the circle: Size of circle indicates the weight contribution of the stock in tracker (not in NIFTY50). NIFTY circle size does not indicate anything.
- Color of the circle: The color of stock circles change when it moves from one quadrant to another. It is as per the legend given at the top right of the tracker.
- “IM” or Index Management: Indicates to what extent the index management is currently in force. Passive IM means real strength or weaness in NIFTY. Whereas Active IM means that NIFTY price movement is being influenced because of some select stocks. The status of IM is followed by NIFTY spot price.
- Red zones at top and bottom tracker chart: Red zones are alarming zones indicating that any stock entering it, will be expected to exhibit extreme behavior.
Top zone is performance zone i.e. any stock entering it is expected to outperform other stocks in the tracker.
Bottom zone is trouble zone i.e. any stock entering this zone may exhibit unexpected weakness. - CF or Contribution Factor: This score indicates the contribution of particular quad to index management. This is checked when IM is active. Percent numbers can also be combined for horizontal quads (i.e. for top 2 quads and for bottom 2 quads, respectively) to compare strength vs weakness.
- Day Pos (
dropdown): When this option is selected, the tracker starts tracking smaller movements of the stocks. Preferably used by day trades and swing traders. - Long Pos (
dropdown): When Long Pos is selected as option, the tracker switch starts tracking bigger level changes that impact the stocks in longer time period. Preferably used by long term traders. - Horizontal and vertical axes: Horizontal axis is the longevity measure of the stock in particular quad (short to long) i.e. intent of the stock to stay within the quad. Vertical axis is the measure of behavior of stock movement (subtle to extreme). All references to be read from the center point of the tracker chart.
- Color of NIFTY element: The color of NIFTY element is intentionally given different color when it is in Rising or Falling/weakening quad. Since these 2 quads mark the beginning of possible trends, NIFTY color is different to identify it visually with ease.
