📊 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.
Today's read
58.7% of the 500 largest NSE stocks closed above their 200-day moving average and 40.4% above their 50-day. A majority is in long-term uptrends: a constructive but not euphoric market. In the latest session 365 of them advanced and 134 declined (A/D ratio 2.72); 17 made a new 52-week high and 14 a new 52-week low. The Nifty 50 is in a strong downtrend (RSI 33, ADX 31).
% 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
