How Streetwhacks Analyzes Market Activity
Streetwhacks is market intelligence and financial data analytics for Indian equity and derivatives markets. This page documents what Streetwhacks analyses, how market data is processed, what each indicator represents, how often analytics update, and what they cannot do — without disclosing proprietary formulas.

1. What Streetwhacks analyses
Streetwhacks processes market information across Indian equities, indices and derivatives:
- Equities: NSE and BSE listed stocks — last traded price, bid/ask quotes, traded quantity and value, day open/high/low/close, and corporate-action-adjusted histories.
- Indices: Nifty 50, Bank Nifty, Sensex and 30+ sectoral indices, including constituent breadth and sector participation.
- Derivatives: NSE futures and options — open interest (OI), OI change, traded volume, implied volatility (IV), put-call ratio (PCR), max pain and option Greeks context.
- Market activity: trade size and concentration, day highs and lows, breakouts, volume behaviour and sector activity.
2. Data processing
Incoming market data is normalized, processed and evaluated continuously during Indian market hours (09:15–15:30 IST):
- Normalization: corporate-action adjustment for splits, bonuses and dividends so historical comparisons stay valid; outlier filtering to suppress erroneous ticks without hiding genuine volatility.
- Session baselines: volume and range statistics are computed per symbol against its own recent behaviour, so a volume observation means something different for RELIANCE than for a small-cap.
- Continuous evaluation: indicators are re-evaluated as new data arrives. Outside market hours the platform serves the last complete session state, clearly timestamped.
3. Market Trend
Market Trend is a per-stock indicator describing the current trend state of every tracked NSE and BSE equity:
- Positive Trend — momentum, volume and price action align bullishly; buying pressure is in control for now.
- Negative Trend — distribution or bearish alignment; selling pressure is in control for now.
- Neutral (no classification) — mixed or contradictory readings produce no indicator rather than a weak one. Neutral describes the absence of a measured trend state, not a prediction.
Each indicator carries a freshness state: developing readings are highlighted; cooled readings fade to context. Thresholds are deliberately conservative — the platform would rather show nothing than show noise.
4. Directional Trend
Directional Trend ranks NSE stocks by directional strength — separating sustained developing trends from one-candle noise:
- Positive trend states are ranked for upside movers; negative trend states are ranked separately for downside movers.
- Rankings combine price trajectory, momentum persistence and volume support; illiquid micro-moves are down-weighted.
- Rankings are for discovery (which names deserve review); Market Trend indicators are for timing (current per-stock state).
5. Market Pulse
Market Pulse is Streetwhacks' real-time market-activity dashboard, designed to organize unusual trading activity across Indian equities:
- High-volume trades — large executed trades with symbol, price, quantity and traded value.
- Day highs and lows — symbols making new intraday extremes against the live session range.
- Breakouts and volume observations — unusual traded volume versus per-symbol baselines, plus trade concentration and sector activity.
The meaningful unit is confluence — size plus price extremes plus volume behaviour together — not any single print.
6. Index Pulse
Index Pulse summarizes index-level market activity for Nifty 50, Bank Nifty, Sensex and sectoral indices:
- Multi-timeframe measurement — short, medium and longer intraday timeframes are checked for directional agreement.
- Momentum scoring — a single readable score summarizing how strongly momentum favours buyers or sellers right now.
- Pressure analytics — buying and selling pressure bars recompute every minute during market hours.
Aligned timeframes describe a trending regime; disagreement describes choppy conditions.
7. Options analytics
- What is measured: OI, OI change, turnover, traded volume, IV, PCR, max pain and Greeks context for NSE derivatives. These describe positioning and activity, not recommendations. See open interest and put-call ratio.
- How it is calculated: OI and volume are aggregated per strike and expiry; PCR is put OI (or volume) divided by call OI (or volume); IV is derived from option prices using standard pricing inputs.
- How to interpret: rising OI with rising price indicates long build-up; rising OI with falling price indicates short build-up; PCR extremes describe crowding, not timing.
- Limitations: OI reflects hedging as well as direction; expiry-day dynamics distort readings; illiquid strikes produce noisy IV.
8. AI-Assisted Market Data Exploration
Ask Streetwhacks is an AI market-data assistant that helps users query and interpret data available within the Streetwhacks platform. Responses may summarize market metrics, explain indicators and organize related market information. The assistant retrieves live Streetwhacks market data into context before answering, cites the market state it used, and structures answers as observation, evidence and invalidation.
AI-generated responses are informational analytical outputs and should not be treated as personalized investment advice or a guarantee of future market behaviour. Every user viewing the same market state receives the same analytics.
9. Update frequency
- Market-dependent analytics (Market Trend, Market Pulse, Index Pulse, Directional Trend, options analytics) update during market hours as new data becomes available — continuously to every-minute cadence.
- Market observations (Live Insights briefings) refresh through the session; quiet markets yield fewer briefings, never filler.
- Reference content (this page, Learn articles, feature pages) is reviewed monthly or quarterly, with visible update dates.
10. Limitations
- Analytics describe market conditions — momentum and structure, not value. An overvalued stock can remain in a Positive Trend; an undervalued stock can remain in a Negative Trend.
- Analytics are not predictions of future performance. Executions, liquidity shocks, corporate actions and news gaps can invalidate any reading within minutes.
- Cap-weighted views overweight index giants; small-cap leadership can hide beneath them.
- Backtested or historical performance shown anywhere on the platform does not predict future results.
- AI-assisted observations can be wrong, especially around news shocks and illiquid names. Verify key claims on the dashboards.
11. Proprietary methodology
Streetwhacks uses proprietary processing and classification logic. Certain algorithms, weighting mechanisms and thresholds are not publicly disclosed. Directional Trend evaluates multiple price, volume and momentum characteristics across defined observation periods; the exact weighting methodology is proprietary.
12. Regulatory positioning
Streetwhacks provides market information and analytics, not personalized advice. Nothing on the platform assesses your finances, goals, risk tolerance or portfolio — indicators, observations, briefings and AI answers are the same for every user viewing the same market state. Position sizing, suitability and execution decisions are entirely yours; for personalized guidance consult a SEBI-registered investment adviser. Our full position is in the disclaimer, with data handling in the privacy policy.

Methodology FAQs
What is Streetwhacks?
Streetwhacks is market intelligence and financial data analytics for Indian equity and derivatives markets — market indicators, unusual-activity dashboards, screening, options-chain analytics and an AI market-data assistant. It provides analytics for informational purposes, not personalized investment advice.
What data does Streetwhacks analyse?
Live NSE and BSE feeds (price, quotes, volume, day ranges), Nifty 50, Bank Nifty, Sensex and sectoral-index inputs, and NSE derivatives data (OI, volume, IV, PCR), flowing continuously during Indian market hours (09:15–15:30 IST).
What do Positive Trend and Negative Trend mean?
Positive Trend means momentum, volume and price action align bullishly; Negative Trend means bearish alignment or distribution. Mixed readings produce no indicator. They are analytical classifications, not recommendations.
What options analytics does Streetwhacks provide?
OI, OI change, turnover, volume, IV, PCR, max pain and Greeks context for NSE derivatives, refreshed during market hours. They describe positioning and activity — including hedging — not future price direction.
Is the AI analysis based on live data?
Yes. Live Insights and Ask Streetwhacks retrieve current platform data into context before generating answers, which is why responses cite market state instead of generic text. AI output can still be wrong — verify key claims on the dashboards.
Does Streetwhacks give personalised investment advice?
No. All users see the same analytics for the same market state. The platform does not assess individual finances or goals. Consult a SEBI-registered investment adviser for personalised advice.
How often is this methodology reviewed?
Indicator logic is under continuous review by the Streetwhacks team; this document is reviewed quarterly with the review date shown above. Material changes are reflected here.
