Our daily Breadth................................... $NYSE
Dah Bulls/ Bears?

Today's Winner - Dah Bears!

 so as you can see wow lots of data.....now how to interpret it.

My specialty is Wykoff Analysis and more specifically Point and Figure chart analysis.

why are Breadth and Volume so important? They are the Heart (Issues) and the Blood (Volume)

Now imagine the Bulls and the Bears are the Team positive volume, breadth, new high's and higher price Bulls are the winners. Vice Versa if the tick is Negative volume, narrowing breadth, new low's and lower prices the Bears are the winners.

But Bulls and Bears come in stealth mode as well.  When you think about it a 2000 lbs Bear or Bull that you cant see or hear until it stomps on you is kind of ominous.

So you can have an index that is carried up by just a few issues and vice versa.  It pays to have a road map and a plan for what to do when things go right but more important a plan for what to do when things go wrong.
   
So as the days go by we will dissect each section and we glean out their secrets.

Today's Scorecard

down but no sign of a change in the trend yet or capitulation (90 % down issues and volume)
