The Dow Rule, also known as the Dow Theory, is a principle in technical analysis that suggests that the movement of one stock market index should confirm the movement of another stock market index or individual stocks in order to provide a reliable signal for market direction.
The Nifty states that the movement of the Nifty 50 index, which represents the performance of the National Stock Exchange (NSE) of India's 50 large-cap stocks, should be confirmed by the movement of other sector-specific indices or individual stocks.
The core idea behind the Dow Rule and its application in India through the Nifty is that different market sectors tend to be interconnected. If one sector is performing well or experiencing a particular trend, it is likely to have an impact on related sectors and the overall market sentiment.
For instance, suppose the Nifty 50 index is experiencing a bullish trend and reaching new highs. To validate this upward movement, investors and traders would look for confirmation from other sector-specific indices, such as the Nifty Bank Index or Nifty IT Index. If these sector indices also show positive trends and align with the bullish movement of the Nifty 50, it adds credibility to the overall market direction and reinforces the bullish signal.
On the contrary, if the Nifty 50 index is displaying a bearish trend, it becomes crucial to examine whether other sector indices, such as the Nifty Auto Index or Nifty Pharma Index, are also moving downward. If these sector indices confirm the negative trend, it reinforces the bearish signal and raises caution about the broader market.
