Market Pulse

What the stock market did today, in plain words — updated every morning and every hour while the market is open. No jargon, no advice: just what is up, what is down, and what is driving it.

Sharp, not bigger. What deserves attention right now — nothing more.

Market pulse as of 2026-11-12 07:25 CST

Updated 2026-11-12 09:40 CST — movers, news, and the VIX are live; the five signals are the morning read as of 2026-11-12 07:25 CST.

Market pulse — today’s read
The market is leaning up today
Technical read: Choppy / no trend, mildly positive
The market is leaning up today — more signs point up than down, but not strongly.
Why the two disagree: 9 of the 12 sectors leaned up, 2 were flat, and 1 fell — but the S&P 500 fell 0.21% today: the index counts the biggest companies heaviest, so a few giants falling can outweigh most sectors rising, even though the sector average still leans up.

What this page is: a plain-English snapshot of the market, pulled together automatically. It is not financial advice, and its read can be wrong — check anything important before acting on it.

−1 · down0 · flat+1 · up
How the number is built: The pulse is one number that sums up the tracked market — the 12 sector reads below, from -1 (everything pointing down) to +1 (everything pointing up). 0 means no direction at all. +0.29 is a moderate lean up.
Pulse score: +0.29
Built from the 12 sector reads as of 2026-11-12 09:41 CST
The five signals read: +0.21 — agrees with the sector read.

This read is graded every day against what the S&P 500 actually did. The record appears here once three days are graded.

The five signals

Five checks are the cross-check on the pulse — whether the market is trending, what the news sounds like, how many big companies are up, how nervous investors are, and how the market has done over the last five days. Each one scores from -1 to +1. The pulse itself is built from the 12 sector reads; these five cross-check it from market-wide data and from headline sentiment — the news read is scored from stories about the two big index funds (SPY and QQQ) and Apple. The trend check’s direction comes from moving averages — SPY’s 10-day average against its 30-day average.

RegimeADX 15.9 · Choppy / no trend · score +0.00
Trend strength weak (ADX 15.9); the moving averages point down
How it scores: ADX measures how strong the trend is, from how prices have been moving. ADX 25 or higher is a real trend and scores the trend's direction (+1 up, -1 down); ADX 20 to 25 is a weak trend (half that); under 20 there is no trend and it scores 0. Choppy means prices moving sideways without a clear direction. Direction comes from SPY's 10- and 30-day moving averages.

How the trend lines are figured: the past-month and past-3-months moves compare the last close with the close on the same calendar date 1 and 3 months earlier — the last trading day on or before it — using adjusted daily closes — adjusted for stock splits and dividends, so the comparison is like-for-like. ‘Usually moves about ±X% a day’ is the average size of the stock’s daily moves over its last 63 trading days.

Sectors

Every sector at a glance — tap one to see its movers and top stories. Each sector lists its own niche sources. Sector read as of 2026-11-12 09:41 CST; movers, news, and breadth refresh every hour during market hours.

How each sector score is built: the simple average of three checks, each scored from −1 to +1 — how many of the sector’s 10 tracked stocks rose (breadth scores (percent up − 50) / 50, so half the stocks up scores 0 and all of them up scores +1), the sector fund’s 5-day move, and the tone of its news. When the news check has too few leaning stories to call, it counts as 0 in that average. The headline pulse at the top is the simple average of these 12 sector reads. The 12 are the market’s 11 standard sectors plus Aerospace & Defense, counted as its own read. Breadth counts only the tracked stocks named in each sector — a sample, not the whole market.

Plain words

The marked terms on this page, in plain words. Tap a marked term anywhere above and it jumps here.

graded
The next day, the call is compared with what the S&P 500 (SPY) actually did and marked right or wrong. The misses stay on the record — nothing is quietly removed. The record appears on the page once three days are graded.
cross-check
A second set of measurements, built from market-wide data, used to sanity-check the main read. When the two disagree, the page says so instead of hiding it.
moving averages
The average of a stock's closing prices over a set number of past days. Comparing a shorter average with a longer one shows which way prices have been drifting.
