How To Read It

  • When the Nasdaq-100 line pulls above the S&P 500 line, large-cap growth is taking leadership; when it falls behind, leadership is broadening or turning more defensive.
  • Use shorter windows to spot tactical rotation and longer windows to distinguish a durable growth regime from a brief bounce.
  • These are price indices, so the comparison does not include reinvested dividends.
