Here's something worth watching: nearly 35% of S&P 500 stocks—that's roughly 175 companies—are now trading in bear territory. Haven't seen numbers this ugly since May.

Rewind to last year through November? That figure was hovering closer to 20%. Fast forward to now, and the spread's widening noticeably. Market breadth is clearly tightening, and fewer stocks are pulling the index higher. Classic warning sign or temporary rotation? Time will tell.

175 bear market stocks... this time really feels a bit different --- This is the scariest part—not that the index is dropping, but that only a few are holding up the market --- 35%? Last time this number showed up was in May... feels like history is repeating itself --- Market breadth has collapsed, and this thing never lies --- It was only 20% last year, now it's doubled, rotation or crash? Can't really say for sure --- A few giants are pulling up the index and putting on a show, while the rest of the scattered small caps have all left. This structure needs to change --- With such poor breadth, even if the index goes up, it doesn't make sense --- Here we go again... every time they say "it's just rotation," and then...

175 stocks are lying dormant in the bear market; this trend doesn't seem right.

35%? Oh my, this is just squeezing out the bubble. The overall market data looks so bad.

35% of S&P components have entered a bear market... widespread sell-offs, this situation is indeed a bit tense.

Oh no, it's the same old trick again... A 35% drop dragging a bunch of stocks down with it, and I'm late to realize it once again.

ngl this breadth collapse is giving heavy frontrun vibes... 35% in bear territory? that's not a rotation, that's a liquidity crunch waiting to happen fr
