Description

Momentum Map is a tool for market data visualization. Two measures of long-term (1 year) and short-term (1 month) momentum are plotted on two axes, forming a 2D map of oversold / overbought conditions. Current or historical values for selected assets (market sectors) can be compared against a background of such values for the main market index. It is a useful tool for studying interesting market episodes and how momentum between sectors played out.

Instructions

Drag / click slider above chart to jump to historical date, both on the index (upper chart), and the sector momentum map (lower chart).

Click zoom / unzoom buttons to focus on the chosen date.

The red point on the upper chart is the currently chosen date. The sector map updates to momentum values for date of the red point.

Clicking anywhere on upper chart will also zoom on currently selected red point, adjusting the slider to min/max values of the zoom. Clicking again will unzoom (return to global index chart).

You can also input points manually: via first input field (datapoint number) + clicking "submit point", or via second input field (date) + clicking "submit date". Incorrect dates (non-business day) will return 0 / undefined. Datapoint number can be any integer from 1 to .

Scroll button: zooms in on selected red point, and moves zoomed chart one point forward. Repeated clicks result in subsequent scrolling. Useful for playing out selected market event step-by-step.

Hover button: click to switch on/off between switching red point on mouse hover over chart. Useful for fast checking a market event and quick zooming (by mouse click) on interesting area. Computationally heavy, so might take the browser a bit longer.

Sector visibility: Click on any of the sector names (in legend below map area) to toggle visibility of that sector.
