US Industry Groups Bell Curve – Exclusive to Stage Analysis

Exclusive graphic of the 104 Dow Jones Industry Groups showing the Percentage of Stocks Above Their 30 Week Moving Average in each group visualised as a Bell Curve chart – inspired by the Sector Bell Curve work by Tom Dorsey in his Point & Figure book...

The current median distribution is at 30.10%.

The graphic gives a unique perspective of the relative strength of each individual group by using the percentage of stocks above their 30 week MA in each group in a similar way that I do with the sector breadth chart that post each month – see the recent Market Breadth Update post to compare.

The scale is the same from 0% to 100%, but the chart is laid out horizontally instead of vertically to mimic the appearance of a bell curve – A bell curve is a graph depicting the normal distribution, which has a shape reminiscent of a bell.

It's coloured coded it so that each sector can also be seen visually at a glance.

See the previous US Industry Groups Bell Curve post for a direct comparison, to see the change in the bell curve position.

Comparison Versus the Previous Chart

There's been a 10.10% drop in the overall average distribution in the last week, which can be seen clearly by comparing the two charts, with the move left for a large amount of groups and now 79 of the 104 groups in the Stage 4 zone (i.e. below 40%).
