NSE stocks tightening into a volatility contraction

A Volatility Contraction Pattern is what a base looks like when supply is drying up: each pullback is shallower than the last and volume falls away. It is a visual pattern, so no screen reproduces it exactly — what a screen can do is find the names where the measurable parts are true, so you have twenty charts to look at instead of two thousand.

The exact criteria

Volatility Contraction Pattern (VCP) is Mark Minervini's, published in Trade Like a Stock Market Wizard (2013). We did not invent it and we do not modify it — the eight points below are his, applied to the NSE. What a good setup looks like →

  1. 1.Price is above both the 150-day and the 200-day moving average865 pass
  2. 2.The 150-day moving average is above the 200-day967 pass
  3. 3.The 200-day moving average is trending up852 pass
  4. 4.The 50-day moving average is above both the 150-day and the 200-day1,052 pass
  5. 5.Price is above the 50-day moving average739 pass
  6. 6.Price is within 15% of its 52-week high — the base is near the highs585 pass
  7. 7.Trading in the upper part of its recent range, not breaking down2,507 pass
  8. 8.Volume is below its 50-day average — supply is drying up1,796 pass
  9. 9.Relative strength rank is 70 or better613 pass

Each count is that rule applied on its own to the whole NSE universe, so you can see which one is doing the work. The list below is the names that pass all of them.

Where our read differs

Of the 80 names above, 9 are flagged Early entry by our own model — still early enough in their move that the trade has room, rather than names that have already run. A screen tells you a stock qualifies; it does not tell you whether you are late. That second question is the one we built the engine to answer.
