Weighted NIFTY 5D Directional BreadthOverview
This indicator measures market participation quality within the NIFTY index by tracking how many heavily-weighted stocks are contributing to index direction over a rolling 5-day period.
Instead of counting simple up/down closes, it evaluates directional momentum × index weight, making it far more reliable for identifying narrow leadership, distribution, and late-stage rallies.
Why this indicator matters
Indexes can continue making higher highs even when only a few large stocks are doing the lifting.
This tool reveals what price alone hides:
Whether participation is broad or narrowing
When index highs are being driven by fewer contributors
Early warnings of fragility before corrections
How it works
Each selected NIFTY stock is assigned a weight approximating index influence
The indicator checks whether each stock is up or down versus its 5-day close
Directional signals are weighted and aggregated
The result is a single breadth line reflecting true contribution strength
Positive values → weighted participation is supportive
Negative values → weighted drag beneath the index
How to interpret
Index Higher High + Indicator Lower High
→ Narrow leadership, distribution risk
Indicator turns down before price
→ Early loss of momentum
Sustained positive readings
→ Healthy, broad participation
Sustained negative readings
→ Market weakness beneath the surface
This is not a buy/sell signal, but a context and risk-assessment tool.
Best use cases
Identifying late-stage rallies
Confirming or rejecting breakouts
Risk management for index trades
Combining with price structure or momentum indicators
Notes
Designed for Daily and higher timeframes
Uses non-repainting logic
Best used alongside price action and structure
