Market-state scale
Sector Balanced Breadth on a 0–1100 scale: 60% becomes 660 points. The same measure, expressed as a score.
How is the score calculated?
Find the share of eligible stocks above their moving average of up to 20 genuine trading sessions in each sector, then add the 11 sector percentages to get the Breadth Score. Every sector has equal weight. Divide the score by 11 to get Breadth Percent, also called Sector Balanced Breadth.
Included with shorter trading history
Each stock uses all genuine, comparable sessions available since its verified start, up to 20. Missing prices must be filled; they do not shorten the window.

Each sector uses the constituents included in that calculation as its denominator. Stocks may be excluded because of trading-history rules or unavailable price inputs. The full constituent universe and calculation coverage are retained.
From October 26, 2026, each stock uses up to 20 genuine, comparable trading sessions, including the calculation session. A shorter window requires a verified first-trading or comparable-history start; every price within that window is required. Earlier published readings retain their full 20-session rule. A stock must be strictly above its moving average to count as above; equality does not count. Each exclusion records its reason for that session.
No exclusions for this session.
