Chart of the week: Stock market breadth tracker

The advance/decline line takes the cumulative total of the number of stocks advancing less the number of stocks declining over some period of time. If stocks or an index are rising but the A/D line is falling, fewer stocks are contributing to the rally. That could signal a potential reversal of the uptrend. While stocks pushed to new record highs earlier this month, the S&P 500's advance/decline line made lower highs.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Technical analysis focuses on market action — specifically, volume and price. Technical analysis is only one approach to analyzing stocks. When considering which stocks to buy or sell, you should use the approach that you're most comfortable with. As with all your investments, you must make your own determination as to whether an investment in any particular security or securities is right for you based on your investment objectives, risk tolerance, and financial situation. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Stock markets are volatile and can fluctuate significantly in response to company, industry, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments. Investing in stock involves risks, including the loss of principal.

Keep in mind that investing involves risk. The value of your investment will fluctuate over time, and you may gain or lose money.
