Perhaps unsurprisingly, the S&P500 weakened one level to 6Weak and the NDX weakened one level to 7Weaker. Every sector weakened enough to change rating except Utilities, which weakened but not enough to change rating.

Last Friday's Indexes report is available here.

I. Background

This analysis provides a Stock Market Organizer summary view of the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 for the week ended Friday, 04/04/25. This means this is a stock-by-stock strength analysis of the component stocks for each index, aggregated upward in level to the sector and index levels.

This purposely excludes the Dow Industrials. This analysis is more impactful the more the stocks analyzed. In turn, I pay minimal attention to the strength scores calculated for the NDX sectors, except for Technology which has 47 stocks.

Key note: the current "Risk OFF" Market Strength Score and the Sector Risk Gauge changed to NEGATIVE at -82% Friday, March 28, 2025.

Today's Market Strength Score and Sector Risk Gauge reflect an extreme -99% reading, just below the lowest possible -100% score:

II. What Do The Pies Say?
