How is the MMI built?
The Market Mood Index takes into account 6 important factors to give a complete picture of emotions driving the market
FII Activity
This is the net open interest of FIIs in Index Futures on the NSE. Tracking movement in this indicator gives an insight into FII views about the markets.
Higher than average value suggests bullish FII views about the markets.
Read More →Volatility and Skew
Volatility is measured by the India VIX index. It is the implied volatility of 1 month Nifty 50 options. Skew is calculated as the difference between implied volatilities (IV) of OTM put options and OTM call options of NIfty 50.
High VIX value suggests that market participants are expecting increased risk and volatility in the market. Volatility only tells us that the markets are expecting some movement, but doesn’t tell us anything about the direction. This is done using Skew - a higher than average value of skew represents a high chance of downward movement and vice versa.
Read More →Momentum
It is the difference between 90D & 30D exponential moving averages of Nifty 50, divided by 90D moving average.
A positive value indicates an uptrend and vice versa.
Read More →Market Breadth
It is calculated by dividing AD Ratio by AD Volume - also known as Modified Arms Index
A relative low value (<1) indicates strong market movement supported by volumes.
Read More →Price Strength
It is calculated by subtracting % of stocks near their 52W low from % of stocks near their 52W high to arrive at the net % of stocks near their 52W high.
Higher value indicates better price strength in the market.
Read More →Demand for Gold
It is the relative price return of Gold vs Nifty 50 for last 2 weeks.
If the return of gold is increasing relative to Nifty 50, it indicates a movement away from equities into safer commodities like Gold.
Read More →The final indicator value is calculated by giving equal weight to each of the components

MMI is pretty cool indeed, especially the various factors it includes. Can be used even by advisors as a tool (with a pinch of salt)

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it a good time to invest in the equity market?
There is no way to predict good entry and exit times in the market with absolute accuracy. However, MMI provides a sound starting point of indication backed by exhaustive testing. The current indication is that the market is in the Fear zone.
How is it different from the India VIX index?
India VIX is a volatility index which measures market expectations of near term volatility. On the other hand, MMI is a more comprehensive indicator of market sentiment, wherein VIX is only 1 of 7 components
Can Indian stock market investors benefit out of MMI?
Individual investors can use the MMI as a tool to gauge how the overall market is currently behaving - has it gone on a buying spree and possibly headed towards a bubble, or are investors fearful of the current market environment & selling more than they do in normal conditions
Can MMI be used for equity market predictions?
MMI is a sentiment index and investors shouldn’t take buy/sell decisions, just based on the current value. But once an investor has decided to invest or close existing positions, the MMI can help them better time the market.
