Does Nifty Sleep?

If performance is cyclical like everything else in nature than asset prices are always relatively outperforming and underperforming. An underperforming asset is sleeping and stagnating. It lacks trading interest, tests patience and will deliver less than expectations. Now one may say, it is impossible to find when the Nifty sleeps and wakes up? Before we prove that one can pinpoint time let’s look at the shifting seasonality from sleeping and waking performance. Once we establish this seasonality, a momentum trader or investor would know that Nifty is going to sleep. Then you can do better with investments by simply ignoring Nifty.

Performance cycles is a term coined by Orpheus Capitals. This is another name for time triads, time arbitrage, time fractals but expressed in terms of relative performance. It’s a bounded oscillator that moves in a range say from 1 to 30. 1 is top relative performance and 30 is worst performance. The idea is that performance is cyclical. A top performer will underperform in future and vice versa. A top relative performer is also the worst value pick and the top relative underperformer is the best value pick.
