Overall breadth in the market has and continues to be strong.  This morning’s example comes from the percentage of S&P 500 Industry Groups trading above their 50 and 200 moving averages.  Starting with the percentage of Industry Groups above their longer-term 200-DMA, that reading currently stands at just above 90%.  During the recent equity market sell-off, that reading dropped down to as low as 75.0% but has rebounded back towards its recent highs.

Relative to the shorter-term 50-DMA, the breadth reading isn’t quite as strong but still stands at a healthy two-thirds and is up from under 50% during the recent sell-off.  Obviously, this is a more volatile reading, but the longer it churns around the 50% level, the more likely it is that we see these lower readings start to drag down the strong readings in the percentage of groups above their 200-DMA. Not much of a worry yet, but something to watch going forward.
