Bulls continue to rule the stock market. A widespread rally on Wall Street this year, lifted nearly 37 percent of the S&P 500 components to a new 52-week high.
Major equity benchmarks like the Dow Transports, Russell 2000, and S&P MidCap 400 index, for example, are trading at new highs, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average and S&P 500 reached a new five-year high during Tuesday's session.
Investors tend to watch such levels in order to determine valuations and trends in a stock's performance.
