Trading Implications

Deep Dive

Reading Signal Breadth

Breadth — the share of the universe flashing bullish 5-factor signals — is a participation gauge. Broadening breadth means more names are joining the move (healthier trend); narrowing breadth with indices still rising means leadership is thinning and the rally is leaning on fewer shoulders, which historically precedes choppier tape. Watch breadth alongside the index level, not in isolation.
