Participation
When an index rises while fewer of its stocks sit above their 50-day EMA, fewer stocks are carrying the move. When most stocks are above all 3 averages, the trend is broad.
Market breadth for every index, in one table.
Is a rally broad, or carried by a few large stocks? The breadth panel counts how many stocks in each index are rising, trending up and making new highs, for market, sector, theme (India) and industry (US) indices.
What the breadth panel shows
Each row is one index. Each column counts the index’s member stocks, not its points, so a heavyweight moves a breadth figure no more than any other stock.
- Adv / Dec: stocks up and down since the previous close.
- % above EMA: the share of stocks above their 20-, 50- and 200-day exponential moving averages (EMAs, average prices that give recent days more weight).
- BPI: the Bullish Percent Index, the share of stocks with an upward price pattern.
- Highs / Lows: stocks at a new 52-week high or low.
Switch between India and the USA, choose the broad market, a sector, theme (India) or industry (US) group, search for an index and sort by any column. The table is rebuilt once an hour and shows when it was last updated.
How to read it
Breadth tells you how wide a move is, not where the index goes next. Read the columns together.
Short against long
The 20-day share turns first and the 200-day share last. A falling 20-day share under a high 200-day share often marks a short pullback inside a longer uptrend.
Highs, lows and extremes
More new highs than lows backs a rise; lows that pile up while the index holds steady point to weakness under the surface. Green marks readings of 70 or more and red 30 or less: extremes worth a look, not instructions to trade.
Who it helps
- Investors who want to know whether a rally is broad before they read single charts.
- Traders who follow sector rotation and want to see which indices have the most stocks trending up.
- Anyone who follows both India and the US and wants one view of participation in each.
