S&P 500 stocks above their moving averages#

S&P 500 advancers vs decliners#
Every bar is one session and sums to the members with a usable return. Green is advancing, red declining and gray unchanged; the final bar is translucent when the current session is still in progress.
New 52-week highs and lows#
Members closing beyond their prior 52-week extreme. Expanding new lows show stress spreading beneath the cap-weighted index; persistent new highs show broad participation.
Breadth by trailing window#
Share of current members with a positive return over each window. The figure at right is the median member return, which reduces the influence of the largest companies.

Methodology#
Universe: the current S&P 500 member set derived from SPY's latest public SEC Form N-PORT holdings, with secondary share classes removed. Historical readings walk today's membership backward because a complete point-in-time membership archive is not available; this creates survivorship bias and means the chart describes how today's members behaved, not the exact membership on every historical date.
Advances and declines use dividend-adjusted closes so an ex-dividend gap is not treated as a decline. Moving averages and 52-week extremes use split-adjusted closes. A company enters each denominator only after it has enough observations: 20, 50, 200 or 252 sessions. Explore the all-US-stock breadth page, the member performance ranking, or the S&P 500 heatmap.

FAQ#
- What percentage of S&P 500 stocks are above their 200-day moving average?
- 354 of 496 eligible S&P 500 members (71%) are above their 200-day moving average as of Aug 14, 2026.
- Is S&P 500 market breadth strong or weak right now?
- Breadth is broad: 71% of eligible members are above their 200-day average and 51% advanced in the latest session. This is a descriptive classification, not a market-timing signal.
- How is this different from the main market-breadth page?
- This page includes only current S&P 500 members derived from SPY's public holdings filing. The main market-breadth page covers every active US stock ChartRow tracks, so small- and mid-cap participation can make its readings differ materially.
- What does a breadth divergence mean?
- A negative divergence occurs when the cap-weighted index rises while fewer members participate—for example, the percentage above the 200-day average or the advance-decline trend falls. It describes a narrowing rally but does not reliably identify an exact market top.
