Breakout setups by industry

We track 992 liquid NSE and BSE stocks across 56 industries and check each one every evening for a base: a stretch where the price moves sideways in a range instead of trending. As of the close on 13 Nov 2026, 815 are still building a base and 34 broke out of one in the last five sessions.

Ranked by the median relative strength of their stocks (how each stock's price did over the past year against every stock we track, on a 1 to 99 scale), the industries at the top right now are Entertainment (81), Aerospace & Defense (76) and Financial Technology (Fintech) (72). A high median describes what already happened to those prices; it is not a forecast.

Industries ranked by median strength

Only industries with at least 5 stocks carrying a strength reading. “Fresh breakouts” closed above a base ceiling in the last five sessions.

Too few to rank

Industries with fewer than 5 stocks carrying a strength reading are listed but not ranked: a median over one or two stocks is those stocks, not an industry reading.
