Last night we held a Happy Hour With Traders and discussed market internals and breadth with some of the best Technicians in the business. We focused mainly on the more popular aggregate breadth indicators such as the percentage of new highs and lows, the percentage of stocks above the 200-day, and so on.
We also talked a bit about our process for analyzing breadth on a more granular level, which is simply by looking at our universe of indexes, sectors, industry groups, and individual stocks each week. When we run our scans and look at the individual charts themselves, we continue to see a higher number of new highs and bullish momentum characteristics.
This is evidence of improving breadth.
This week’s Mystery Chart was one of the latest Industry Groups we noticed making fresh all-time highs. In this post, we’ll discuss the chart and offer some trade ideas in some of the groups’ strongest components.
