Chart 3: Market Breadth

This chart displays the S&P 500 (SPX) daily since 2011 in the upper panel with the 26-Week New Highs/New Lows Ratio plotted in the lower panel (blue line).  This measure of market breadth is derived by dividing the new highs in the NYSE Composite Index for the last 26 weeks by the new highs plus new lows.
