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 |

Over the last 126 sessions: price down -5.21%, breadth down (-0.09/name) · % beating 35→48 · median−ETF -3.45pp→-0.11pp.
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 2026-08-07.
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 | 11 (48%) | 5 (22%) | +6 |
| 1-Month | 5 (22%) | 2 (9%) | +3 |
| 3-Month | 1 (4%) | 2 (9%) | -1 |
| 6-Month | 1 (4%) | 2 (9%) | -1 |
| 52-Week | 1 (5%) | 1 (5%) | +0 |

Dispersion by window

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1d | +0.06% | +0.15% | +0.09pp | 12 / 10 | 12 / 11 | 10 of 23 | ±5.22% |

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.
