We track 1,003 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 16 Oct 2026, 840 are still building a base and 14 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 Textiles & Apparels (85), Aerospace & Defense (73) and Entertainment (70). A high median describes what already happened to those prices; it is not a forecast.
