How To Read It
- A sector above roughly 70% usually has broad internal participation behind the move, while readings near 30% or lower often signal internal damage.
- The most useful tells come from divergence: if one or two sectors stay healthy while most of the board rolls over, leadership is getting narrow.
- Use this with the sector relative-strength board to tell the difference between sectors that are leading broadly and sectors being carried by a few heavyweights.
Breadth and sector charts tell you the weather. They just can't tell you which stock to hold for the next 10 days - that's the whole job of the Dig for Stocks algorithm.
