Why breadth matters more than the index
A rising index carried by five heavyweight stocks is a fragile market; a flat index with most stocks improving underneath is usually the opposite. Breadth is the number that tells the difference, and it is why professional desks look at it before position sizing.
What would change the picture
Watch whether the uptrend count expands from 1923 or contracts, and whether positive readings stay clustered in the same sectors. A widening list with sector rotation is healthy; a shrinking list while the index holds up is the warning sign.

Frequently asked questions
What does market breadth mean?
It is the share of stocks participating in a move, rather than the direction of the index itself.
How is the breadth figure calculated here?
It is the percentage of the 2,534 scanned NSE stocks whose daily Altrix trend reads as an uptrend.
Does weak breadth mean a crash is coming?
No. It means fewer stocks are participating, which historically calls for smaller positions and tighter risk, not a prediction.

- Stocks in uptrend: 1923 (76%) — higher at the time of writing

About this report
Every figure on this page is read from a primary source at the timestamp shown — exchange boards for equities and indices, the exchange bid book for IPOs, published association rates for bullion, and consolidated exchange quotes for crypto — with no estimation or third-party commentary. Historical fields such as trailing returns and 52-week extremes are computed on the adjusted daily series so splits and bonuses do not create false gaps. A timestamp outside market hours reflects the last traded or last published value, not a live tick.
