For a stock market that continues to hit all-time highs in the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite, market breadth – which measures the number of stocks that are rising and falling or the relative improvement (or deterioration) in a share wide range of prices – it’s pretty bad.

The same is true for the Nasdaq, where decliners are beating advancers from 2005 to 1,318. The percentage of all NYSE stocks that traded higher on Thursday is just under 28%, according to FactSet data, but is more good for Nasdaq. in about 59%.
