Constituent dispersion · breadth vs the index
QQEW — First Trust Nasdaq-100 Equal Weight
Divergence over time — price vs breadth, by horizon
The hero read is the 1-month picture; here the same price↔breadth divergence across 1 week / 1 month / 1 quarter, computed over the 126-session history. A/D /name is net advancers-minus-decliners per covered constituent; % beating Δ and median−ETF Δ show how participation shifted. Price rising while those fall = the move is narrowing under the surface.
| Horizon | Price | A/D /name | % beating Δ | Median−ETF Δ | Read |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 week | -1.51% | +0.27 | +6pp | +0.42pp | Improving |
| 1 month | -0.85% | +0.69 | +26pp | +8.29pp | Improving |
| 1 quarter | +10.92% | +0.94 | +29pp | +8.74pp | Confirming ↑ |
Over the last 126 sessions: price up +6.10%, breadth up (+1.8/name) · % beating 48→69 · median−ETF -0.06pp→+5.72pp.
Stocks above their moving average — participation breadth
Of the 49 covered constituents, the share trading above each simple moving average — the classic breadth gauge. A firm index price with a low %-above-MA is a narrow, top-heavy tape. As of 2026-07-28.
New highs & new lows — by horizon
How many of the 49 covered constituents closed today at a new high (or low) over each window, and the net. A shrinking net as the index holds up = fewer names leading.
| Horizon | New highs | New lows | Net |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5-Day | 30 (61%) | 11 (22%) | +19 |
| 1-Month | 14 (29%) | 6 (12%) | +8 |
| 3-Month | 10 (20%) | 1 (2%) | +9 |
| 6-Month | 7 (15%) | 1 (2%) | +6 |
| 52-Week | 4 (9%) | 1 (2%) | +3 |
| YTD | 7 (14%) | 1 (2%) | +6 |
Dispersion by window
| Window | ETF | Median | Median − ETF | Up / Down | Beat / Lag | ±1% band | Dispersion |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1d | +0.43% | +2.02% | +1.58pp | 35 / 14 | 34 / 15 | 11 of 49 | ±4.01% |
| 5d | -1.51% | +1.74% | +3.25pp | 28 / 21 | 32 / 17 | 5 of 49 | ±7.77% |
| 21d | -0.85% | +4.87% | +5.72pp | 32 / 17 | 34 / 15 | 5 of 49 | ±13.55% |
| YTD | +7.75% | +5.76% | -1.99pp | 26 / 21 | 20 / 27 | 2 of 47 | ±50.63% |
Median − ETF below zero means the typical name is lagging the cap-weighted index — the move is top-heavy. "Beat" counts constituents outperforming the ETF over the window. Dispersion is the cross-sectional standard deviation of constituent returns — high = a stock-picker's tape, low = pure beta.
