How To Figure Out Sectors That Will Trend Up or Down

Discovering sectors that are trending or about to start trending can help investors and traders enter into several profitable trades.

Sector stock analysis helps investors learn about the type of stocks that operators and other biggies are accumulating. The accumulation by the biggies can be anything – better financial condition for the companies going ahead (long term prospects) or for the for a quick short term trade.

Whatever reason it may be, sectoral analysis helps investors judge how well stocks in the different sectors will perform in the near-long term.

The analysis would be even sharper and trades more profitable if the data was available live, and based on micro sectors.

Well, you’re in luck, because there is a website that breaks down sectors into micro sectors and helps in your quest.

For example, if the two wheeler segment in the auto sector is trending up, it helps you latch on to two wheeler stocks, and so on.

Before I discuss this website, know that many folks who analyze sectors often refer to sites that give the macro picture.

For example, what use is information that the auto sector is trending up when the sector is up because only 2 wheelers are in an uptrend?

I’m sure you will agree that analyzing micro sectoral data than analyzing the macro data.

There is only one website that displays this helpful information – and it is the BSE.

You also can drill down into any micro sector and figure out the stocks that are performing and separate these from the duds.

Best of all, it allows analyze information of 111 micro sectors spread over 4 pages!
