How to use Market Breadth Guide

1

Start with EMA participation

The above-EMA charts tell you how many stocks are in short, medium, and long-term uptrends.

2

Check return distribution next

The return buckets show whether gains are widespread or concentrated in only a small slice of stocks.

3

Watch the all-time-high participation line

Rising ATH participation often supports stronger leadership environments.

4

Use breadth to choose your tactics

Broad participation can support trend-following scans, while weak breadth often argues for tighter selection and patience.

What to prioritize in the output

Improving breadth often strengthens confidence in breakout workflows.
Index rallies with weak breadth deserve more caution.
Breadth shifts usually matter more as a trend than as a single-point reading.

Common mistakes to avoid

Focusing only on the headline index and ignoring participation underneath.
Overweighting one breadth series while ignoring the rest.
Reading broad participation as a guarantee instead of a supportive condition.
