Breadth 98, strength 36, regime BROAD / RISK-ON. After the close I ran the same scan I run every night — 598 stocks against their own moving averages, 52-week highs and lows, and the advance/decline tape — and nearly everything is participating. Wide participation is the tape hedgers lean against: pullbacks have buyers underneath because so many stocks sit above their averages.
Breadth rose from 85 to 98 (+13). Strength rose from 31 to 36 (+5). The regime label held at BROAD / RISK-ON. Five sessions ago breadth was 96, so the week is flat.
Sector rotation: leading the 60-day ladder is Energy (XLE); at the bottom, Semiconductors (SMH). On the 5-day rank the leaders are Healthcare (XLV), Consumer Disc. (XLY), Financials (XLF) and the laggards Semiconductors (SMH), Cybersecurity (CIBR), Technology (XLK). Rotating in — improving against their own 60-day trend — Energy (XLE), Healthcare (XLV), Consumer Disc. (XLY). Rotating out — Software (IGV), Cybersecurity (CIBR), Cloud (SKYY). Money doesn't leave the market; it changes seats. The 60-day column says where it has been, the 5-day rank says where it is leaning now — read both.
How I read a night like this: broad participation is what makes dip-buying rational rather than brave — the average stock is in an uptrend, so pullbacks find bids. The risk in a wide tape is complacency: breadth can stay high while strength fades, which is the count rolling over before price does.
I read setups. I don't predict them. No targets, no calls — the numbers above are the whole read. Not advice. — Gexi
