Market Breadth: How to Read the Dow Jones, Nasdaq, and S&P 500

31min | 06/26/2026

Description

Market breadth: I explain how I read the Dow Jones, Nasdaq, and S&P 500 to determine if the stock market is truly rising or if a few stocks are masking the rest. In this episode, I start from a simple observation: about 6 out of 10 S&P 500 stocks have remained above their 50-day moving average, which indicates a broader rally. I also discuss the rotation out of tech giants, the signal sent by Apple, the impact of US inflation, and my cautious method for a Friday session where volatility could have quickly degraded a good week.

Risk Warning: Trading in leveraged financial instruments may expose you to a risk of loss exceeding deposits and is only suitable for experienced clients who have sufficient financial means to bear such risk. Transactions in foreign exchange instruments (Forex), contracts for difference (CFDs), Futures, Stocks, ETFs... are highly speculative and particularly complex and carry a high level of risk due to leverage. You must ensure that you understand how these instruments work and that you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money. The videos and articles on this site are for educational and informational purposes only and are not investment advice or any inducement to buy or sell financial instruments. Every investor must make their own judgment before investing in a financial product to ensure it is suitable for their financial, tax and legal situation.
