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 2026-11-13 08:02 CST

Updated 2026-11-13 11:40 CST — movers, news, and the VIX are live; the five signals are the morning read as of 2026-11-13 08:02 CST.

Market pulse — today’s read
?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. It is a direction score, not a percentage or a chance of anything.
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: 10 of the 12 sectors leaned up, 2 were flat, and none fell — but the S&P 500 fell 0.78% 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. +0.31 is a moderate lean up.
Pulse score: +0.31
Built from the 12 sector reads as of 2026-11-13 11:41 CST
The five signals read: +0.37 — agrees with the sector read.
+0.08

The pulse over the last 3 days. Scores run from −1 (down) to +1 (up); the dashed line is flat.

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.

Regime
?The market's pattern right now: trending one way, or choppy — moving sideways with no clear direction. The ADX figure is the trend-strength score behind the label, on a scale of 0 to 100 — not a percentage: 25 or higher is a real trend, 20 to 25 is a weak trend, under 20 is no trend at all. The direction comes from SPY's 10- and 30-day moving averages.
ADX 14.8 · Choppy / no trend · score +0.00
Trend strength weak (ADX 14.8); 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.

Sentiment
?How the day's news sounds — more positive than negative, or the reverse. It is scored with a word list over headlines about SPY, QQQ and Apple: only the articles that lean one way count, newer ones count more, and the list reads words, not meaning. It measures tone, not what the market does next.
+0.77 · Strongly positive · score +0.77
59 articles, 17 leaning; top positive: Major streaming services have raised prices by 207% since 2019. Is it still worth it, or is ‘streamflation’ too much?
How it scores: (Positive - negative) leaning articles, divided by all leaning articles and weighted toward the newest; the balance is the score.
Source: Finnhub company news (SPY/QQQ/AAPL), scored with a word list
Breadth
?How many of the tracked stocks went up today against how many went down. All of them up is the strongest score and half up is flat; a rise most stocks join in is broad, and one only a few join is narrow.
13 of 24 tracked stocks up (54.2%) · Mixed · score +0.08
13 of 24 tracked stocks up on the day
How it scores: (Percent of tracked stocks up - 50) / 50: all of them up scores +1, half up scores 0, none up scores -1.
Source: 24-stock universe, Yahoo Finance daily closes
Volatility
?How nervous investors are, read from the VIX fear gauge in the strip above: under 15 is calm, 15 to 20 is normal, 20 to 25 is elevated, and 25 or higher is high fear. It is a gauge reading, not a percentage chance of anything.
19.8 · Normal · score +0.00
VIX 19.80 (live)
How it scores: VIX under 15 is calm (+0.5); 15 to 20 is normal (0); 20 to 25 is elevated (-0.5); 25 or higher is high fear (-1).
Source: VIX (^VIX), Yahoo Finance — live quote
Momentum
?Which way prices have been heading lately — climbing, sliding, or flat. It follows SPY, the S&P 500 fund, over the last five trading days — and a move between -1% and +1% over those days counts as flat.
+3.29% · Strong up · score +1.00
SPY +3.29% over 5 days
How it scores: SPY's 5-day move of +3% or more scores +1; +1% to +3% scores +0.5; between -1% and +1% scores 0; -3% to -1% scores -0.5; worse than -3% scores -1.

Market at a glance

S&P 500 (SPY)
$751.20
-0.78%
as of Friday, Nov 13 close
?

A fund that holds the 500 biggest U.S. companies, so it stands in for the stock market as a whole. Today it is at $751.20, -0.78%.

Nasdaq 100 (QQQ)
$676.06
-1.76%
as of Friday, Nov 13 close
?

Dow Jones (DIA)
$521.98
-0.09%
as of Friday, Nov 13 close
?

Small companies (IWM)
$276.60
-0.66%
as of Friday, Nov 13 close
?

A fund of about 2,000 small U.S. companies. Small companies swing harder than big ones, and they often move first when investors turn braver or more nervous. Today it is at $276.60, -0.66%.

10-year Treasury (Cboe ^TNX)
5.14%
+0.03 pts
as of Friday, Nov 13 close
?

The interest rate the U.S. government pays to borrow money for 10 years. The label names where the figure comes from: Cboe, the exchange that publishes the series, and ^TNX, the series' own code. It also steers mortgage and loan rates, so when it rises, borrowing gets dearer. It stands at 5.14%. It rose 0.03 points from the last bond trading day.

Oil (WTI futures)
$88.56
-0.20%
as of Friday, Nov 13 close
?

The settled price of one barrel of U.S. crude oil for delivery next month — settled means the official price at the trading day's end. Oil moves with the world economy and with how much the oil countries choose to pump. Today it settled at $88.56.

VIX — the fear gauge
19.83
+6.04%
as of Friday, Nov 13 close
?

A gauge of how nervous investors are, worked out from the prices of options — contracts that pay out only if the S&P 500 index ends up on their side of a set level by the date the contract ends, and pay nothing otherwise, so they cost more when investors expect big moves. Its bands are the fear scoring rule's own: under 15 is calm, 15 to 20 is normal, 20 to 25 is elevated, and 25 or higher is high fear. At 19.83, investors are in the normal band.

Today’s takeaway

The market is leaning up today (pulse +0.31). The trend check still points down, though. Modine Manufacturing is up 30.9% today, the biggest gainer; Heartflow is down 17.4% today, the biggest loser. The big story is "Copper shortage or surplus? Banks split on 2027 outlook".

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 2026-11-13 11:41 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.
▼ bearish
This story's wording scored negative for the company. The score reads the tone of the words — it is not a guess about where the stock goes next.
● neutral
This story's wording scored neither positive nor negative for the company. The score reads the tone of the words — it is not a guess about where the stock goes next.
▲ bullish
This story's wording scored positive for the company. The score reads the tone of the words — it is not a guess about where the stock goes next.
screener
A screener is a filter: it scans the whole list of traded stocks and keeps only the ones that match set rules — here, the day's biggest gainers and losers. Being on the list is not a recommendation.
leaning articles
Stories whose wording leans positive or negative for this company. Stories that lean neither way are not counted.
EPS
Earnings per share — the profit analysts expect for each share of the company. A negative estimate means they expect the company to lose money.
Revenue
All the money a company takes in from what it sells, before any costs come out. The figure here is the analysts' estimate for the quarter — what they expect that total to be, not a result yet.
Breadth
How many of the sector's tracked stocks rose today. All of them up is the strongest score; half up is flat.
Momentum
How much the sector's fund price has moved over the last 5 trading days — its recent direction, up or down.
qualifying coverage
Coverage that passed the page's checks — the story is about the company it is tagged with, current, and not a duplicate.
cleared the checks
Every story must pass the page's checks before it prints: it has to be about the company it is tagged with, current, and not a duplicate or an advertisement in disguise.
