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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 week | +1.61% | +1.74 | -42pp | -3.08pp | Confirming ↑ |

| 1 quarter | -4.62% | +1.84 | -23pp | -1.15pp | Improving |
Over the last 126 sessions: price up +6.02%, breadth up (+13.87/name) · % beating 71→35 · median−ETF +1.20pp→-0.52pp.
Stocks above their moving average — participation breadth
Of the 31 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 2026-06-18.
New highs & new lows — by horizon
How many of the 31 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.

Dispersion by window
| Window | ETF | Median | Median − ETF | Up / Down | Beat / Lag | ±1% band | Dispersion |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1d | +0.67% | +0.25% | -0.42pp | 23 / 8 | 7 / 24 | 24 of 31 | ±0.86% |

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.
