GEXDesk nightly card — breadth 90, strength 46, BROAD / RISK-ON

Breadth 90, strength 46, 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 held at 90. Strength rose from 43 to 46 (+3). The regime label held at BROAD / RISK-ON. Five sessions ago breadth was 85, so the week is widening.

Sector rotation: leading the 60-day ladder is Energy (XLE); at the bottom, Semiconductors (SMH). On the 5-day rank the leaders are Cybersecurity (CIBR), Cloud (SKYY), Software (IGV) and the laggards Communication (XLC), Semiconductors (SMH), Consumer Disc. (XLY). Rotating in — improving against their own 60-day trend — Energy (XLE), Consumer Disc. (XLY), Financials (XLF). Rotating out — Cloud (SKYY), Technology (XLK), Semiconductors (SMH). 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

How these numbers are made. Breadth is the share of the 600-stock universe above its own moving averages, blended with new highs/lows and the advance/decline line, percentile-ranked against its own trailing year (0–100). Strength asks how far above those averages the average stock sits. Regime is a bucket on breadth: under 30 narrow, 30–60 neutral, 60+ broad. Sector rotation ranks the 11 SPDR sector ETFs by 60-day return and flags each one improving or weakening against its own trend. Same recipe every night, no discretion.
