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 | +1.86% | -0.61 | -20pp | -2.94pp | Weakening |
| 1 month | +0.14% | -1.22 | -20pp | -2.15pp | Weakening |
| 1 quarter | -0.11% | -2.35 | -29pp | -5.12pp | Weakening |
Over the last 126 sessions: price down -4.89%, breadth down (-4.17/name) · % beating 61→32 · median−ETF +1.28pp→-2.02pp.
Stocks above their moving average — participation breadth
Of the 23 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 2026-07-10.
New highs & new lows — by horizon
How many of the 23 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.

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.
