Methodology

We group constituents by sector, compare contribution patterns, review large-cap leadership, and contrast headline index movement with broader market breadth indicators.

Public findings

  • Headline rallies can hide narrow leadership from a few high-weight sectors.
  • Breadth checks help distinguish market confirmation from index-only movement.
  • Portfolio context matters when owned holdings differ from index heavyweights.
