Stock index overview

Across the 8 equity indices covered, 38% trend up and 62% trend down, a moderate lean to the downside rather than a one-way market.

50% of the segment trades above its 200-period moving average — a mixed longer-term structure with no clear regime.

The average 14-period RSI stands at 48.3 — neutral momentum, with 0 reading overbought and 1 oversold.

The widest session gap runs from Nikkei 225 at +0.33% to FTSE 100 at -0.06%, a spread of 0.39 percentage points between the strongest and weakest instrument.

2 instruments show a Bollinger-inside-Keltner squeeze, including FTSE 100, CAC 40. A squeeze precedes an expansion in range without indicating its direction.

Relative volume is running above 1.5× its usual level on E-mini Nasdaq-100 futures (2.3×), E-mini S&P 500 futures (2.1×), E-mini Dow futures (1.6×), so the move there is backed by more participation than a normal session.

An index aggregates hundreds of constituents, so a move that is not confirmed by breadth is usually carried by a handful of large weights.
