What is Stock Price BREADTH?

By Staff Reporters

The market is made up of thousands of stocks. And on any given day, investors are actively buying and selling them. This measure looks at the amount, or volume, of shares on the NYSE that are rising compared to the number of shares that are falling.

A low (or even negative) number is a bearish sign. The Fear & Greed Index uses decreasing trading volume as a signal for Fear.

The formula: Breadth Line Value= (No. of Advance Stocks – No of Decline Stocks) + Breadth Line Value of the Previous day. When the number of advance stocks exceeds the number of the decline stocks then the breadth line will rise and vice versa.

INDEX: Fear & Greed

By Staff Reporters

****

What a week in the world’s financial markets? It is perfect timing for this ME-P.

It is useful to look at stock market levels compared to where they’ve been over the past few months. When the S&P 500 is above its moving or rolling average of the prior 125 trading days, that’s a sign of positive momentum. But if the index is below this average, it shows investors are getting skittish.

The Fear & Greed Index uses slowing momentum as a signal for Fear and a growing momentum for Greed.

But, a few big stocks can skew returns for the market. So, it’s important to also know how many stocks are doing well versus those that are struggling.
