The Truth About Market Breadth
Investors,
The equal-weight version of the S&P 500 ($RSP) made positive gains during each trading session this past week, rising a total of +1.38% from the open on Monday.
With “weak breadth” being such a hot topic, this price structure and trajectory of RSP is telling us, perhaps, that breadth isn’t nearly as weak as headlines want us to believe.
I think some context is important:
Equal-weight S&P 500 ($RSP) is up +13.1% on a YoY basis.
Equal-weight S&P 500 ($RSP) is up +4.9% YTD (+10.6% annualized).
Equal-weight S&P 500 ($RSP) is up +24.15% since the October 2023 lows.
Equal-weight S&P 500 ($RSP) made new all-time highs on March 28, 2024 and is currently +2.5% away from making new ATH’s.
While the equal-weight version is underperforming the market cap-weighted index, none of the data above is indicative of a weak market market environment.
That’s just a fact.
On the contrary, I’m actually going to provide concise data in this report that fully details how breadth is expanding and improving over the past week, exactly as I outlined in last week’s edition of Cubic Analytics.
