History points to further weakness in market breadth:

Since 1990, October has experienced the weakest market breadth of any month, with just 51.7% of S&P 500 stocks trading above their 50-day moving average.

This follows September, when an average of 53.1% of S&P 500 stocks traded above their 50-day moving average over the same period.

By comparison, December has had stronger breadth, with 64.2% of S&P 500 stocks trading above their 50-day moving average.

Subsequently, January has seen the 2nd-strongest breadth, at 62.2%.

Currently, just 21.4% of S&P 500 stocks trade above their 50-day moving average, down from ~70% in mid-August, marking their lowest reading since early April.

Furthermore, on Friday, new 52-week lows on the S&P 500 outnumbered new highs for the 14th consecutive trading day.

Market breadth is extremely weak.
