Many investors rely on index performance to judge market strength, but a rising market can often mask growing internal weakness. This session explores market breadth—a simple yet powerful way to measure how many stocks are actually participating in a trend. By tracking breadth, investors can detect early signs of stress or confirmation of strength that prices alone may not reveal.

We’ll discuss how shifts in breadth reflect investor behavior—the push and pull between fear of loss and fear of missing out—and how understanding these dynamics can improve decision-making. Drawing on historical examples and recent research, we’ll show how this approach can help investors manage exposure more effectively. The session will also apply this framework to today’s market to identify what current breadth trends may be signaling about risk and opportunity.
