The tables in the tabs below help answer three crucial questions: what's happening with the global stock market indexes, what's happening with the major US stock market indexes, and what's happening with the stock markets for individual countries around the world?
Using the "Timeframe" menu at the top of the page will allow you to compare performance within these groups over different time periods.
In addition to standard price data, the Daily and Weekly Streak columns will help you assess recent trends by showing the number of consecutive days or weeks that each index has closed higher or lower.
The EMA and SMA columns represent the position of each index relative to key moving averages.
When these percentages are far above or below 0, it can help you determine whether an index is overbought or oversold on short, intermediate and long-term timeframes.
Use the "heat map" here to drill into the market's internals and understand what factors are drawing most interest from buyers and sellers.
Are investors favoring growth over value?
Small Caps over Mid and Large Caps?
Are low volatility stocks outperforming higher risk categories?
The "Extended" map allows you to compare these types of factors for Large, Mid and Small Cap stocks and better understand the positioning and investor sentiment that is driving the current market.
Designed by renowned chartist David Keller, the Keller Market Model uses carefully-crafted PPO indicators on a weekly chart timeframe to measure short, medium and long-term trends for key assets.
When these PPO indicators are above 0, it signals a bullish trend.
When they are below 0, it signals a bearish trend.
The Macro model provides trend readings for four major asset classes, while the Stocks model drills into key US equity indexes.
| ST | MT | LT |

Breadth indicators are designed to measure how many stocks are participating in the market's moves.
They can help you gauge the strength or weakness of an index's trend.
The first tab below shows you the percentage of stocks moving higher (advancing) and lower (declining) within the major indexes.
A high percentage of stocks advancing on the day is considered bullish, while a high percentage of stocks declining on the day is considered bearish.
The second tab below shows you the percentage of stocks in each index trading above key moving averages.
A high percentage of stocks trading above these averages is bullish, while a low percentage of stocks trading above these averages is bearish.
The color coding is a helpful visual guide here.
The more green you see, the stronger the market.
The more red you see, the weaker the market.
| Advancing | Declining | Unchanged |
|---|
| Above 20-Day | Above 50-Day | Above 100-Day | Above 200-Day |
|---|
Bullish Percent Indexes (BPIs) measure the percentage of stocks within an index that are currently on a Point & Figure buy signal.
The higher the value, the more bullish the reading.
The lower the value, the more bearish the reading.
The first tab below shows you BPIs for the major US indexes, while the second tab shows you BPIs for the major US sectors.
For more context, the Major BPI Chart tab displays the Bullish Percent Indexes from the first table all combined into a single chart.
| Bullish Percent |

| Bullish Percent |

This panel will show you the percentage of stocks in the major US indexes making new highs across common timeframes.
The higher the number, the more bullish the reading.
The "Daily" tab represents stocks making new highs for the most recent trading session.
The "Weekly" tab represents new highs for the most recent trading week.
You can also click the name of any index in the first column to view all of its members.
| All-Time Highs | 52W Highs | 9M Highs | 6M Highs | 3M Highs | 1M Highs |

This panel will show you the percentage of stocks in the major US indexes making new lows across common timeframes.
The higher the number, the more bearish the reading.
The "Daily" tab represents stocks making new lows for the most recent trading session.
The "Weekly" tab represents new lows for the most recent trading week.
You can also click the name of any index in the first column to view all of its members.

The symbols in this panel help you gauge sentiment and positioning in the market.
The key question: are traders, investors and money managers leaning more bullish or more bearish with their current exposure?
The $VIX - also known as the "fear index" - will measure volatility.
One helpful trick here is to remember the rule of 16.
Dividing the latest $VIX value by 16 will give you reasonable estimate of the expected daily move in the S&P 500.
For instance, a $VIX value of 32, when divided by 16, means that $SPX is expected to see 2% average daily moves up or down.
The Put/Call Ratios will show how traders are positioned in the options market - whether they are bearish and favoring more short positions with put options or bullish and favoring more long positions with call options.
The NAAIM Exposure index represents how much long (bullish) exposure professional money managers have in their portfolios.
The Rydex Asset Ratio helps determine whether capital is flowing into bullish assets (lower Rydex value) or bearish/neutral assets (higher Rydex value).
The AAII Bulls - Bears value is derived from the weekly sentiment survey of individual investors.
It reflects whether retail investors are feeling more bullish or more bearish.
The ratios in this panel help you better understand whether the market is leaning into more offensive (bullish) sectors and industries or more defensive (bearish) sectors and industries.
When these ratios are rising, the market is favoring offense.
When these ratios are falling, the market is favoring defense.
Understanding how the major US sectors are moving - especially which sectors are leading and which sectors are lagging - should be a crucial component of your market analysis.
Are investors favoring more offensive, growth-oriented sectors like Technology and Consumer Discretionary?
Or are they positioning more defensively in sectors like Utilities and Consumer Staples?
The tables here will help you dig into not only the standard market cap weighted sector ETFs, but also the equal-weight sector ETFs and the small cap sector ETFs.
Together, these three groups help paint a detailed picture of what's happening beneath the surface of the market.
We recommend sorting by % Chg to see which sectors are outperforming their respective benchmark over different timeframes.
We also suggest sorting by SCTR to quickly determine which of the sectors are strongest from a technical perspective.
In addition to the complete list of Dow Jones US industry groups, the Bellwether Industries tab highlights five key industries that are often used as a barometer for the overall market.
When these industries are rising and outperforming the market, it is a sign of optimism, strength, and bullish sentiment.
When these industries are falling and underperforming the market, it is a sign of caution, concern, and bearish sentiment.
Based on the multi-market framework made famous by John Murphy, the group of symbols here represent a snapshot of the major global markets for stocks, bonds, commodities, and currencies.
What is most important to study are the relationships between these asset classes.
The chart in this panel will show the performance of the six assets over the past year.
You can click on the chart to see a full version and study how these relationships flow over time.
We recommend starting with the 1-year range but expanding it out to longer timeframes like 5, 10, and 20-years to study the intermarket relationships with more historical context.
The yield data here provides a useful snapshot of what's happening in the bond market.
In addition to the latest yields for the major US Treasury bonds, the table also includes the most recent Fed Funds rate - used by the Federal Reserve to set the landscape for rates - and the S&P 500 dividend yield for comparison.
The three key questions to ask:
Where are rates today relative to years past, where are rates today relative to each other, and in which direction are rates heading?
To help answer those questions, the chart in this panel shows key yield values together over the past 5 years.
You can click on that chart to see a full version and change the timeframe if you desire.
We've also included a helpful Yield Curve reference at the bottom of the panel.
It's based on the classic 10-year vs. 2-year yield spread.
You can quickly tell whether the Yield Curve is normalized (10Y is above 2Y) or inverted (2Y is above 10Y).
For an even more detailed look, the button below the table will launch our Dynamic Yield Curve tool - an interactive visualization of how the Yield Curve has shifted over time.
It's helpful to understand what's happening within other asset classes beyond the major equity markets. The Key Assets table will give you a quick overview, but you can also drill into the individual asset classes like Commodities, Currencies and Cryptos by clicking on the tabs below.
