📊 Market Breadth
An index can rise on a handful of heavyweights while most stocks fall. Breadth counts how many stocks are actually participating — the share above their key moving averages, the advance-decline line, new highs against new lows and momentum breadth — for the market and for every sector.
The read at the 6 Nov close
51.5% of the 500 largest NSE stocks closed above their 200-day moving average and 46.6% above their 50-day. A majority is in long-term uptrends: a constructive but not euphoric market. In the latest session 221 of them advanced and 277 declined (A/D ratio 0.80); 20 made a new 52-week high and 7 a new 52-week low. The Nifty 50 is in a strong uptrend (RSI 79, ADX 33).
% of stocks above their moving averages
Lines: share above the 50- and 200-day averages. Shaded: the Nifty 50 (right axis).
Advance-decline line & McClellan oscillator
A/D line = running total of (advances − declines). McClellan = 19-day minus 39-day EMA of ratio-adjusted net advances; above zero is bullish breadth momentum.
