The Mexican stock market has sparked a broad-based rally across the market.

by Sentimentrader
2026-02-19
Mexico's MEXBOL Index triggered a breadth thrust as the proportion of components above their 50-day moving average rose from below 30% to above 90%, with similar signals delivering a 76.2% win rate over 59-day holding periods and a bullish medium-term outlook.

Key Points:

  • The proportion of MEXBOL Index components trading above their 50-day moving average has cyclically risen from below 30% to above 90%
  • Similar thrusts have delivered a 76.2% win rate for Mexico's benchmark index over subsequent 59-day holding periods

It is extremely useful to observe when the market exhibits counterintuitive movements relative to expectations

The proportion of stocks in the MEXBOL Index trading above their 50-day moving average has surged from below 30% to above 90%, reaching a new extreme level. This recovery in the medium-term trend of Mexico's bellwether stocks is particularly notable against a macro backdrop of implemented trade tariffs and tensions surrounding the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) - factors that market participants typically view as negative. Typically, when a market or indicator rallies sharply amid adverse news, it signals that investors are looking past immediate risks and positioning for potential upside.

Subscribers can track global market breadth indicators directly on the dedicated page in the "Market Breadth" section. As shown in the table below, ranked by the percentage of stocks above their 50-day average, the MEXBOL Index leads with the highest number of constituents trading above their medium-term average.

Similar recoveries in participation signal bullish medium-term outlook

Using the multi-condition functionality of the backtesting engine, subscribers can seamlessly generate and track signals based on market breadth. For example, in today's report, I analyzed when the proportion of stocks in Mexico's stock exchange index trading above their 50-day average moved from below 30% to above 90%.

The research findings include a chart with green arrows marking signal dates, clearly illustrating historical occurrences. Click here to access the research report.

Optimization tests identified the optimal holding period for the Mexican Currency Index (MEXBOL Index) as 59 days. Under this condition, 16 out of 20 tests resulted in profits, representing a 76% win rate.

Analysis of historical performance across multiple timeframes indicates that Mexico's stock market index is likely to experience a pullback in the first week - a typical reaction following a bullish signal. However, the index has risen 80% of the time over the subsequent three months.

Empirically, the equity curve should gradually rise from the lower-left quadrant to the upper-right quadrant of the chart, and the bullish signals for the MEXBOL Index have largely achieved this pattern.

You can achieve this sequential signal trigger condition by following the settings below.

What the research tells us...

Mexico's benchmark stock index has soared, triggering a breadth rally signal when the proportion of components above their 50-day moving average jumped to over 90%. Historically, such upward momentum has been a strong indicator of sustained market gains, with the index having an 80% probability of continuing to rise over the next three months. When market movements contradict conventional wisdom, it often signals that something significant is unfolding.

Past performance is not indicative of future results.This analysis is based on statistical data and may be subject to statistical limitations, potentially failing to represent all market conditions. Investors should treat this signal as one of multiple reference indicators, exercise caution when making position allocation decisions, and avoid over-reliance on any single market breadth metric.

Market analysis involves uncertainty, and outcomes may differ from expectations. Users should conduct their own due diligence and consider their individual circumstances before making any financial decisions. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Hypothetical Performance Disclosure: Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. for example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all which can adversely affect trading results.
