After Tuesday's strong session, today was a quiet day for the major indexes.
Market breadth on June 4, 2025, signaled a mixed but cautiously constructive outlook following Tuesday's strength.
While the broader market cooled off slightly, underlying technical trends remained firm. Below is an analysis of the key developments, with a comparison to the previous session.
Advancing stocks made up 53.2% of the market, down from 69.0% on June 3.
Decliners increased slightly to 44.0%, but still lagged the number of gainers.
Notably, 4.2% of stocks advanced by 4% or more, compared to 6.8% the day before, indicating fewer strong movers but still healthy participation.
Conversely, only 1.7% of stocks saw 4%+ declines, suggesting continued weakness remains limited.
Context: While breadth narrowed compared to June 3’s bullish surge, today's figures still support a constructive bias. This suggests the rally isn't unraveling but merely pausing.
As shown in the chart above, the percentage of stocks trading above key moving averages remains stable or improving slightly:
SMA(20)+: 63.6% (vs. 64.4% on June 3)
SMA(50)+: 72.2% (↑ from 70.9%), a bullish sign of broad strength in mid-term trends
SMA(100)+: 51.7% (↑ from 50.8%)
SMA(200)+: 40.4% (↓ marginally from 40.6%)
The steady rise in SMA(50)+ and SMA(100)+ percentages reflects a deepening of the bullish structure across more names, despite minor day-to-day fluctuations.
New Highs (NH) jumped to 4.0%, the highest in the last five sessions.
New Lows (NL) fell to just 0.5%, also the lowest in recent days.
This divergence suggests an increasing number of stocks are establishing new uptrends while fewer are breaking down, another supporting sign for the bulls.
Weekly Advancers surged to 67.1%, up sharply from 52.9% yesterday.
Monthly Advancers reached 72.3%, extending the steady improvement from prior days (69.4% on June 3).
This trend reinforces the medium-term bullish narrative, showing that market gains are not just limited to one-off bursts but have been broad-based over time.
The three-month picture shows 49.2% Advancers vs 50.0% Decliners, nearly balanced — a recovery from the more bearish readings late last week.
Stocks up more than 25% over 3 months climbed slightly to 9.7%, while the 25% decliner cohort shrank to 7.2%.
Though still not decisively bullish, the three-month trend shows a shifting momentum away from broad selling pressure.
Today’s breadth shows a slight step back from the euphoric tone of June 3 but remains broadly healthy:
Participation above key moving averages is either holding or improving.
New highs outpace new lows significantly.
Longer-term metrics continue to lean bullish, confirming medium-term resilience.
In summary, this appears to be a healthy pause, not a reversal.
If breadth readings remain this firm or improve, the market may be setting up for further gains, especially if macroeconomic fears (e.g., interest rate cuts) continue to abate.
