A recent scorecard, not a forecast
The homepage measures realised 20- and 60-session returns across the current 300 largest US stocks. It asks whether winners were easy to find and whether the typical gain was meaningful. Medians reduce distortion from a few mega-cap or exceptional winners.
Three layers
The 20-session median measures magnitude: below -3% is weak, -3% to +3% is consolidation, +3% to +7% is moderately strong, and above +7% is a meaningful advance. A positive number such as +2% still means the typical stock gained very little.
Participation measures selection difficulty: below45% advancing is difficult, 45% to55% is mixed, 55% to65% is improving, and above65% is broad participation.
The 60-session median confirms persistence. The shares above150- and200-day averages describe position; an average above60% is higher-position breadth and below40% is lower-position breadth. Position does not predict a reversal.
Five homepage labels
- Clearly strong: 20-session median at least +7%, at least65% advancing, and 60-session median at least +5%.
- Moderately strong: 20-session median at least +3%, at least55% advancing, and a non-negative 60-session median.
- Weak consolidation: 20-session median between -3% and +3%.
- Clearly weak: 20-session median no higher than -3% and fewer than45% advancing.
- Consolidating: return magnitude and participation disagree, often when a few heavyweights support the index or a rebound has not broadened.
These labels summarize the previous20 and60 sessions. They are not trading signals and do not predict that conditions will persist.
