How to use India Market Pulse

One dial, 0 to 100, that tells you the emotional temperature of the Indian market — the same idea as the famous Fear & Greed Index in the US, rebuilt for India.

How to read it

• · Needle in the red zone (below 45) → investors are fearful; markets are selling off or nervous.
• · Needle in the sky-blue middle (45–55) → neutral, no strong emotion either way.
• · Needle in the green zone (above 55) → investors are greedy and confident; markets are running.
• · The small bars below the dial show what's driving the score: NIFTY's momentum, how many stocks are rising (breadth), 52-week highs vs lows (strength), and India VIX (volatility).

Pro tip: Extreme readings at either end often mark turning points — extreme greed is when seasoned investors get cautious, extreme fear is when they start looking for bargains.

Today's biggest gainers on the glowing green side, biggest fallers on the red side — one combined board covering BOTH exchanges.

How to read it

• · The small NSE/BSE badge on each row shows which exchange printed the bigger move for that stock.
• · Tap any row to open that stock's full research page.
• · The 'Updated' line at the bottom tells you exactly how fresh the data is.

Pro tip: A stock appearing here two or three days in a row usually has real news behind it — check the Buzz Meter and Intelligence sections for the story.

The whole market in one glance: 13 sectors ranked by their average move, every stock a coloured tile.

How to read it

• · Deeper green = bigger gain, deeper red = bigger fall. Pale tiles barely moved.
• · Sectors are sorted best-first, so the top-left card is today's strongest sector.
• · Tap any tile to jump to that stock.

Pro tip: When one whole sector glows green while the rest is red, money is rotating — that rotation often lasts days, not hours.

Which companies own today's news cycle — every fresh headline from 9 major financial publications is scanned and mentions are counted per company.

How to read it

• · The bar shows relative heat: the loudest company fills the bar completely.
• · '🔥 Blazing' means the company dominates the cycle; 'High' and 'Warm' are quieter.
• · The story count on the right is the raw number of articles mentioning it.

Pro tip: Heavy buzz plus a big price move is confirmation; heavy buzz with NO price move yet is where curious investors start reading.

A research agent reads every headline and keeps only the stock-moving ones, sorted into friendly buckets: 🏦 Big money (BlackRock, Morgan Stanley, FII stake buys, block deals), 🤝 Deals & M&A, 🚀 Products, 📊 Earnings, ⚖️ Regulatory.

How to read it

• · The badge grades likely impact: 'Game changer' (dark) > 'Notable' (blue) > 'Watch' (light).
• · The coloured left edge and the dot show sentiment: green positive, red negative for the stock involved.
• · Each card carries a one-line 'why it matters' in plain English — no jargon.

Pro tip: Start your day on the Big money tab: institutional buying is the single most-watched signal among Indian retail investors.

Five ready-made scans over the NIFTY-100 universe: Top gainers, Top losers, Volume shockers, Near 52-week high, Near 52-week low.

How to read it

• · 'Vol vs 20-day' above 2× means unusually heavy trading — something is happening.
• · 'From 52-wk high' near 0% means the stock is at its peak; a very negative number means it's deep in a drawdown.
• · The 30-day trend sparkline shows the recent path at a glance — green rising, red falling.

Pro tip: The Volume shockers tab is the earliest tell: volume usually arrives before price.

A full one-page research view: price chart with 1M/3M/6M/1Y ranges, a momentum check, 14 fundamentals, quarterly results, sector peers and company news.

How to read it

• · The A–F medallion is the Pulse Grade — a 7-point checklist across momentum and fundamentals. A/B green is strong, D/F red is weak. It is a checklist, not a recommendation.
• · Momentum check: RSI between 30–70 is healthy; above 70 overbought, below 30 oversold. Being above the 50-day and 200-day averages is bullish.
• · The quarterly chart pairs revenue (blue bars) with net profit (green, or red for a loss) — look for both rising together.
• · The peers table shows how the stock stacks against its own sector today.

Pro tip: Press ☆ Watch on any stock — it joins your watchlist strip at the top of the home page with a live quote. Saved in your browser, no signup needed.

A pre-built model of what the business itself is worth, compared against the market price — so you can spot when a stock trades below or above its own cash-generating power.

How to read it

• · The math in one line: project 5 years of the company's cash flows, ease growth to a steady 4%, discount every future rupee back to today at the stock's risk rate, subtract debt, divide by shares.
• · Beta is measured against NIFTY from a year of daily moves — 1.3 means the stock typically moves 1.3% when the market moves 1%. R² shows how tightly it follows.
• · The 'to justify today's price…' chip is the model run backwards: the growth the company must deliver for the current price to make sense. You judge if that's realistic.
• · Banks and cash-flow-negative firms use Graham's earnings formula instead — discounting cash flows is the wrong tool for lenders.

Pro tip: The gap between price and model value matters more than either number — and the sensitivity table shows how much the answer moves if the assumptions are a little wrong.

Pick 3-15 stocks and one button finds the weights with the best risk-vs-return trade-off — the same math institutions use, with training wheels.

How to read it

• · The math in one line: estimate each stock's likely return and how the stocks move together, then solve for the mix where they best cancel out each other's swings.
• · Diversification is the only free lunch: two jumpy stocks that zig at different times make a calmer pair than either alone.
• · Noisy correlations are pulled toward the average so one lucky year can't dominate, and no stock may exceed 30% — a standard risk-desk limit.
• · Always compare with the equal-weight line below the result: that gap is what the optimization actually earned you.
• · Four goals: best return for the risk, smoothest ride, risk parity (groups similar stocks into a family tree and splits risk between branches — no forecasts needed), and tail-risk shield (protects the worst 5% of days).
• · The efficient frontier curve shows every best-possible mix; your portfolio sits on it as a green dot.

Pro tip: Expected returns come from just one year of history — treat the weights as a sensible starting shape, not a prophecy.

A weather report for volatility: will next month be calmer or rougher than the past year, per stock and for your whole mix?

How to read it

• · The math in one line: rough days tend to follow rough days — the model learns each stock's pattern of calm and stormy stretches and projects the size of next month's swings.
• · It forecasts the SIZE of moves, not their direction — a calm forecast doesn't mean 'up'.
• · In Portfolio Lab, each holding gets a 🌤️/🌥️/🌊 icon and your mix gets a weighted turbulence check.

Pro tip: Rough forecasts pair badly with money you'll need soon; calm forecasts suit steady SIP-style adding.

Full-text search across a rolling 72-hour library of every story from 9 financial publications — with your own private notebook.

How to read it

• · Type any words — company names, 'stake', 'usfda', 'penalty' — and matches are highlighted in results.
• · Trending-topic chips show what the whole news cycle is talking about; tap one to search it.
• · Filter by publication or 🔥 HOT-only; hit 'Save to notebook' to keep a story with your own note (stored in your browser).

Pro tip: Search a company you hold once a week — the stories you did NOT see move stocks more often than the ones you did.

The Indian equivalent of SEC filings: results, stake & insider (SAST) disclosures, call transcripts, presentations, orders and board meetings — straight from BSE, with the actual PDF one tap away.

How to read it

• · Filings are bucketed the way you think: 📊 Results, 🏦 Stake & insider, 🎙️ Calls, 🗓️ Board meetings, 🤝 Orders, 💰 Dividend & buyback.
• · '🤖 AI: read this filing' downloads the real document and extracts: what it is, key numbers as stated, future plans, how management sounds, and red flags.
• · Exchange filings are the most trustworthy source on a company — SEBI requires them, so companies must tell the truth in them.

Pro tip: Always verify big numbers in the original PDF — the AI reads honestly but documents can be scanned or messy.

The two numbers every Indian business channel leads with: did foreign institutions (FII) and domestic institutions (DII) buy or sell today, in crores — plus upcoming board-meeting (results) dates.

How to read it

• · Green card = net buying, red = net selling, with the exact buy/sell breakup underneath.
• · FII and DII often disagree — FII selling absorbed by DII buying is a very common Indian market pattern.
• · The calendar lists board-meeting intimations filed on BSE — mostly results dates for tracked companies.

Pro tip: A stock into results week + heavy buzz + unusual volume is where surprises (both ways) happen — size positions accordingly.

One button writes a structured research note — Overview, Momentum read, Fundamentals read, Recent developments, Risks, Bottom line — from the portal's own live data. Below it, a copilot answers questions about that specific stock.

How to read it

• · The report only uses data you can see elsewhere on the page — it synthesizes, it doesn't invent.
• · Ask the copilot anything: 'Is the momentum healthy?', 'What do the fundamentals say?', 'Summarize recent news.'
• · Neither will ever tell you to buy or sell — by design.

Pro tip: Read the 'Risks' section first. Anyone can list positives; the risks are where research earns its keep.

Four tools straight from hedge-fund desks: which mood the market is in, whether everything is moving as one herd, factor rankings, and statistically-tied stock pairs.

How to read it

• · Market regime — the math in one line: a model learns that markets live in two moods (quiet and rough) from NIFTY's daily moves, then infers which mood today fits.
• · Herding index — the share of all movement explained by one common trade; when it's high, diversification protects you less than usual.
• · Factor leaders — the market sorted by repeatable traits: momentum, low volatility, smooth trends, and deepest-below-trend.
• · Pairs watch — same-sector twins whose price gap historically snaps back, with a z-score for how stretched the gap is (beyond ±2 is rare).

Pro tip: Regime + herding together set your defensive posture; factors and pairs are study lists, not signals.

The mood of the news itself: every headline from 12 feeds is scored for tone with a market-tuned dictionary, then distilled into one gauge, a 48-hour timeline, and the loudest bulls and bears.

How to read it

• · The bar shows the bullish / neutral / bearish mix of all scored headlines.
• · The timeline shows how the media mood has been shifting in 6-hour steps.
• · Compare with the Market Mood gauge: prices fearful while news turns bullish (or vice-versa) is the interesting divergence.

Pro tip: News mood usually FOLLOWS price. When it leads — when headlines sour before prices do — pay attention.

The three things professional portals lead with: what analysts covering the stock say, who actually owns it, and when the next results land.

How to read it

• · The consensus bar shows the mix of Strong buy / Buy / Hold / Sell ratings, with the average price target next to today's price.
• · Ownership splits promoters/insiders from institutions, and lists the biggest funds holding the stock.
• · Events shows the next results date, the ex-dividend date and the last 12 months of payouts.

Pro tip: A big gap between price and analyst target is a question, not an answer — read the Risks section of the AI report before believing either side.

The one-pager analysts actually keep open: every month's return in a colour grid, the drawdown curve, and how tightly the stock tracks NIFTY.

How to read it

• · Green and red cells show each month's return — the pattern tells you how often bad stretches came and how deep they ran.
• · The drawdown curve is how far below its own peak the stock sat at any moment; the worst number is the pain of buying at the top.
• · Rolling correlation near 1 means the stock is basically riding the market; low correlation means it marches to its own drum.

Pro tip: Two stocks with the same yearly return can have completely different monthly grids — the calmer grid is the easier one to actually hold.

The performance report fund managers run on any strategy: 36 metrics on a stock or a basket, always compared against NIFTY.

How to read it

• · Six groups: Returns, Risk, Risk-adjusted ratios, Behaviour, Distribution, and Versus NIFTY.
• · Ratios above 1 (Sharpe, Sortino, Calmar) generally mean the risk was worth taking; the ribbon at the top pulls out the headline numbers.
• · The drawdown episodes table shows every big fall: when it started, how deep it went, and how many days until it was over.
• · Alpha is the part of the return the market move alone can't explain — the closest thing to proof of genuine outperformance.

Pro tip: Run your own watchlist as a basket. Seeing your picks' combined Sharpe and drawdown is more honest than looking at each stock alone.

Seven specialist desks read every story on the wire, each through its own lens — and tell you the market consequence, not just the news.

How to read it

• · 🛡️ The War Room (conflict, borders, sanctions) · 🛢️ The Barrel (crude, metals, rupee) · 🚨 The Enforcement Desk (IT/ED raids, SEBI orders, penalties) · 🤝 The Deal Table (M&A, mega orders, IPOs) · ⚠️ Distress Signals (defaults, downgrades, auditor exits) · 🏛️ The Policy Desk (RBI, Budget, duties) · 🌍 Global Currents (Fed, China, FII flows).
• · Each desk shows which sectors it typically helps and hurts, so you can read consequences at a glance.
• · Tap any story for the desk note: what happened, why markets care, who gains, who loses, what to watch, and what we don't know yet.
• · Stories carry BREAKING / SIGNIFICANT / DEVELOPING grades and a green-red edge for direction.

Pro tip: The Enforcement and Distress desks are the ones to check before buying anything — that is where the sharpest single-stock risk shows up first.

Three questions professionals always ask: where could this money end up, how bad have the bad patches been, and does this basket actually diversify?

How to read it

• · Monte Carlo — the math in one line: we redeal this basket's own past daily moves at random 4,000 times to build a year of possible futures, then show the 5th-to-95th percentile band.
• · Stress tests replay the worst week, month and quarter this basket actually lived through, plus hypothetical 2- and 3-sigma shocks.
• · The correlation matrix shows which pairs move together — deep blue cells add little diversification.

Pro tip: Look at the 'chance of ending lower' number before the median. Most people plan for the average and get surprised by the left tail.

An AI copilot that answers questions in plain English — 'Why are metal stocks moving?', 'Is the mood fearful today?' — grounded in the portal's own live boards and headlines.

How to read it

• · Tap a sample question chip or type your own and press Ask.
• · Answers explain what's happening and why; the copilot never gives buy/sell advice or price targets, by design.

Pro tip: Ask it to explain anything on this page you don't understand — 'what does RSI mean?' works too.

The raw feed: every fresh headline from 9 publications, with the hottest stories pinned as red Highlight cards on top.

How to read it

• · 'HOT' tags mark stories with market-moving keywords — results, circuits, stakes, RBI/SEBI actions.
• · Everything links to the original article; we summarize and point, the publisher has the full story.

Pro tip: The ticker tape at the very top of every page scrolls the six key indices continuously — including India VIX, the market's fear thermometer.
