Each figure is the median typical weekly move of the sector's stocks on record when that force moved by its standard amount, after the stock market's own move. Beneath it: how many of those stocks moved up (↑) or down (↓) with the force in a way that held up. The median includes readings that could not be told apart from zero; the counts say how many did not. Fewer than three stocks on record shows the count, not a median.
