Tab guide · Breadth
By WideRadar · Published June 13, 2026
The Breadth tab is the central command panel for reading the overall health of the US equity market. It combines a historical heatmap of breadth metrics with live overlays, regime indicators, and a mini-chart strip.
Open the Breadth tab each morning. Scan the last few rows of the heatmap for colour — is the tape improving (more green), deteriorating (spreading red), or mixed? Check the Market Tone bar and the session pill, then look at the mini-charts for trend context.
Each column counts how many stocks make a significant price move over a specific lookback: 4%+ in a day, 20% in 5 days, 25% in a month, 13% in 34 days, and 25% in a quarter. The ratio column (up 4%÷ down 4%) gives a quick balance-of-power read. Above 1.5 = buyers dominating; below 0.67 = sellers in control.
The Market Tone bar summarises the regime — Bullish, Bearish, Mixed, or Caution — from breadth across all timeframes. The two gauges show what share of the universe is trading above their 50-day and 200-day moving averages. Below 40% on the 50-day gauge signals a broad correction.
Click any column header to open a full-width trend chart for that metric with a range selector (1 month to 5 years) and optional 50-day/200-day MA overlays.
Before any stock is counted in a breadth metric, it must have a close price above $3 and average daily volume of at least 100,000 shares over the prior ~35 trading days. The price gate applies to the pre-move close — so a stock going from $2 to $3 does not count toward any breadth metric, but $4 to $6 does.
The Market Tone bar summarises the current market regime — Bullish, Bearish, Mixed, or Caution — by combining breadth readings across multiple timeframes. It is a quick-read shortcut; always check the raw heatmap columns to understand why the tone is what it is.
The ratio column is the Up-4% count divided by the Down-4% count for the day. A ratio above 1.5 means buyers are dominating; below 0.67 means sellers are in control. It gives a fast balance-of-power read without needing to compare absolute numbers.
The six mini-charts show trend context for the most important breadth metrics, including a VIX chart and an S&P 500 sub-chart with a 50-day SMA overlay.
