Divergence over time — price vs breadth, by horizon
The hero read is the 1-month picture; here the same price↔breadth divergence across 1 week / 1 month / 1 quarter, computed over the 126-session history. A/D /name is net advancers-minus-decliners per covered constituent; % beating Δ and median−ETF Δ show how participation shifted. Price rising while those fall = the move is narrowing under the surface.
| Horizon | Price | A/D /name | % beating Δ | Median−ETF Δ | Read |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 week | +0.33% | +0.15 | +0pp | +4.45pp | Improving |
| 1 month | +0.95% | +0.46 | +20pp | +8.88pp | Improving |
| 1 quarter | +6.34% | -0.08 | +27pp | +10.51pp | Weakening |
Over the last 126 sessions: price up +13.29%, breadth up (+3.35/name) · % beating 36→62 · median−ETF -2.71pp→+6.34pp.
Stocks above their moving average — participation breadth
Of the 26 covered constituents, the share trading above each simple moving average — the classic breadth gauge. A firm index price with a low %-above-MA is a narrow, top-heavy tape. As of 2026-07-02.
New highs & new lows — by horizon
How many of the 26 covered constituents closed today at a new high (or low) over each window, and the net. A shrinking net as the index holds up = fewer names leading.
| Horizon | New highs | New lows | Net |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5-Day | 13 (50%) | 3 (12%) | +10 |
| 1-Month | 9 (35%) | 1 (4%) | +8 |
| 3-Month | 7 (27%) | 0 (0%) | +7 |

Dispersion by window
| Window | ETF | Median | Median − ETF | Up / Down | Beat / Lag | ±1% band | Dispersion |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1d | +1.94% | +2.21% | +0.27pp | 22 / 4 | 14 / 12 | 15 of 26 | ±1.33% |
| 5d | +0.33% | +0.09% | -0.24pp | 13 / 13 | 13 / 13 | 2 of 26 | ±5.82% |

Median − ETF below zero means the typical name is lagging the cap-weighted index — the move is top-heavy. "Beat" counts constituents outperforming the ETF over the window. Dispersion is the cross-sectional standard deviation of constituent returns — high = a stock-picker's tape, low = pure beta.
