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 | +3.81% | +1.35 | +4pp | +1.36pp | Confirming ↑ |

| 1 quarter | +2.39% | -0.57 | -5pp | -1.07pp | Weakening |
Over the last 126 sessions: price down -6.79%, breadth down (-3.48/name) · % beating 48→52 · median−ETF -0.15pp→+0.92pp.
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 2026-07-02.
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.
| Horizon | New highs | New lows | Net |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5-Day | 10 (43%) | 2 (9%) | +8 |
| 1-Month | 3 (13%) | 1 (4%) | +2 |

Dispersion by window
| Window | ETF | Median | Median − ETF | Up / Down | Beat / Lag | ±1% band | Dispersion |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1d | -0.13% | +1.36% | +1.49pp | 15 / 8 | 16 / 7 | 7 of 23 | ±2.57% |

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.
