Market breadth keeps deteriorating

Market breadth tells you how many stocks are participating in a market move. As you can see the breadth is now negative indicating lesser number of stocks are now leading the market move.

Periods like these are more conducive to counter trend moves working than breakout. Whipsaws in breakout is the risk during such period.

Finding anticipation setup requires a well thought out process and then one needs to stick to it daily.

To anticipate a breakout look at stocks currently not undergoing momentum burst.

Stock should be in extremely low momentum phase for anticipation .
It can be a shallow pullback or consolidation in established momentum phase.

To anticipate look for stock with extremely low volatility

A stock with low volatility in last 5 to 10 days is ideal candidate as part of a continuation setup.
Look for series of low range bars in last 5 to 10 days
Look for stocks with bollinger band squeeze.

Avoid Anticipation setups on extended stocks

First or second anticipation setup in established trend is best
Extended trends needs to be avoided for anticipation as failure is high on them

Look for early entry on anticipation candidates

Anticipating a breakout helps you get an early entry and can improve your per trade profits.
It also can lower your risk as your stop is closer.
It can help you profit from even smaller moves.
For that entry without waiting for breakout is best.

Anticipation requires more pre planning and effort than buying a breakout.

You need a process flow to do that.
The process should be efficient and done daily after the market close.
The suggested process flow is a template you can develop your own process.

Only 3 to 5 quality ideas should be tracked

"A" grade pre Momentum Burst setup should be your first priority
Once you have list of anticipation setups narrow them down to 1 to 5 for next day action.
Quality is more important than quantity

Breadth continues to worsen


Breadth is showing clear signs of selling pressure. Selling is not high intensity selling , but has been persistent.

Due to mean reversion tendencies market may be due for a bounce here. However sustained uptrend will require significant breadth improvement.

Breadth is deteriorating

Breadth Deterioration in last 10 days. 6 negative breadth days. Makes me cautious but not excessively bearish. Last year such breadth deterioration persisted for months.

Periods like these can lead to series of breakout failures and reversals during the day.
What it means is lower per trade risk. Lower overall market  exposure. Tighter stop.
