What Market Breadth Answers
Market Breadth summarizes whether strength is broad or concentrated. Use it before reviewing individual candidates so a strong chart is interpreted in the context of the wider market.
The pane focuses on four participation horizons:
| Measure | Interpretation |
|---|---|
| 1M participation | Percentage of symbols above the 20-day moving average. |
| Daily pulse | Percentage of symbols advancing in the selected session. |
| Intermediate breadth | Percentage above the 50-day moving average. |
| Structural breadth | Percentage above the 200-day moving average. |
Read the Breadth Ladder
The Breadth Ladder places short-term thrust beside intermediate and structural participation. Read the rows together rather than treating one percentage as a trading signal.
- Short-term improvement with weak structural breadth can describe an early or narrow rebound.
- Strong intermediate and structural participation supports a healthier backdrop.
- Falling participation while indexes hold up can signal concentration beneath the surface.
These are context observations, not predictions or personalized recommendations.
Check Provenance
The pane shows the effective date, source, symbol coverage, and whether you are viewing Latest or a historical point. Use those labels before comparing breadth with a chart.
Coverage matters. A percentage calculated from incomplete membership should not be treated as if it represented the entire requested universe.
