Market Regime — the colored bar under each day is the market's overall “weather,” scored from the indexes (trend, fear/VIX, small-cap breadth). It's market-wide context, not a stock pick: even a great company gets dragged down in a red tape. Read it to gauge when to lean in vs. wait for calmer water — click any day for the full read.

Strong Down Day

Thu, Aug 20, 2026 Broad Selloff High

Broad selloff hammers all three indices—S&P -2.0%, Nasdaq -2.7%, Russell -2.0%—while fear spikes 12% and single-stock chaos erupts across 50 gainers and 50 losers.

  • 60% Broad market rout across all equity indices with S&P 500 down 2.02%, Nasdaq Composite falling 2.75%, and Russell 2000 sliding 1.98%, driven by risk-off sentiment as VIX jumped 12.35% signaling a sharp shift in investor sentiment away from equities. The Dow Jones fell 2.01% as buyers capitulated across mega-cap, mid-cap, and small-cap territory without meaningful sector refuge.
  • 25% Extreme dispersion in individual stocks with 50 gainers averaging +21.8% (led by HOWL's 92% surge) and 50 losers averaging -27.1% (with ZVZZT crashing 86%), suggesting a stock-pickers market where tactical selection mattered far more than broad positioning; Technology bore the heaviest load in losers at 24% of the bottom 50, matching its 22% share in gainers.
  • 15% News-grounded catalysts drove a handful of moves: GWH slumped 42% after ESS Tech announced a dilutive $3.2M capital raise, AAP tanked 24.5% on earnings collapse, MRNA fell 20.7% as investors took profits after a 175% surge, and SUGP rallied 29% on Nasdaq compliance confirmation, while ZTG extended a 4-day losing streak without fresh negative headlines, signaling persistent weakness in select micro-caps.
