I. Background

This analysis provides a Stock Market Organizer summary view of the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 for the week ended Tuesday, 03/25/25. 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 ON" Market Strength Score and the Sector Risk Gauge changed to POSITIVE at +6% after trading Friday, March 14, 2025. This was only one day after it had changed to "Risk Off" which itself was one day after it changed to "Risk On." All this action is an indicator of the volatility inherent when the market gets to this low of a Market Strength Score reading.

Today the Market Strength Score and Sector Risk Gauge remain positive at +32%.
