72% of S&P 500 Stocks Above 200-Day Average — Broadest Since December 2024

72% of S&P 500 stocks now trade above their 200-day moving average — a long-term trend benchmark — the widest since December 2024 (Barchart). That signals broad participation, not just mega-cap gains. Goldman Sachs raised its year-end target to 8,000 from 7,600 (May 26), though its implied ~6% return trails the index's ~10% long-run and ~16% decade averages (Chase). Strong breadth confirms trend health but doesn't predict what's next.
