Get This ONE Thing Right

Market Breadth Is Key

Technical analysis has plenty of controversial topics people love to debate.

Momentum vs. mean reversion… Fibonacci levels… indicator stacks… it can get noisy fast.

But breadth?

Breadth is the one area where even the loudest skeptics eventually tap out.

It was the first thing in TA that added real, immediate value because it shows you what’s actually happening beneath the surface. 

In seconds, you can see where money is flowing, where it’s drying up, who’s winning, who’s losing, and whether the market is embracing risk or hiding from it.

It’s why I include the Hostile Breadth Dashboard in every Sunday Stalk List.

That dashboard gives me the backdrop for the entire week.

It helps dictate the names I hunt, the themes I lean into, and the trades I’m willing to put on. 

It's kept us on the right side of the market more times than I can count.

And tomorrow, I’m breaking it all down in my weekly show, Thompson’s Two Cents Live.

• The charts I use to read the market’s pulse
• How the Hostile Breadth Dashboard frames my weekly decisions
• And a current trade I'm in because of what breadth is telling me

If you want to understand how truly gauge markets pulse… tune in.

Anyway, that’s my two cents.
