This step is MANDATORY to avoid misreading recent trend changes.
CRITICAL WARNING: Charts can be deceptive. The MAJORITY of analysis errors occur because the analyst:
BEFORE analyzing trend direction, FIRST confirm line colors:
Focus intensively on the rightmost 3-5 data points of the chart (most recent weeks):
For 8MA (Orange Line) - Analyze the very latest trajectory:
Critical Questions to Answer:
For 200MA (Green Line) - Analyze the very latest trajectory:
Failed Reversal Detection (CRITICAL):
If an 8MA trough (purple ▼) was recently identified:
Example Analysis Format:
Latest 8MA Data Points (rightmost to left):
- Current (Week 0): 48%
- 1 week ago: 52%
- 2 weeks ago: 55%
- 3 weeks ago: 50%
Analysis: 8MA is FALLING. It rose from 50% to 55% (weeks 3-2), but has since declined to 48%.
This shows a failed reversal pattern - bounce was temporary, downtrend has resumed.
SLOPE: Falling (not rising!)
MANDATORY CROSS-CHECK (to catch misreadings):
After determining the trend, ask yourself:
Look for and document:
Based on readings and patterns, classify the current market as:
Support the classification with specific evidence from the chart.
Apply the backtested strategy rules with STRICT confirmation requirements:
Check for BUY signal (ALL criteria must be met):
BUY Signal Status:
Check for SELL signal:
Current position determination:
Create 2-3 scenarios with probability estimates:
If Chart 2 is provided, conduct systematic analysis:
From the chart image, identify:
Look for and document:
Based on current ratio and color, classify as:
Support the classification with specific evidence from the chart.
Apply the swing trading strategy rules:
Check for ENTER LONG signal:
Check for EXIT LONG signal:
Current position: Long, Flat, Preparing to Enter, or Preparing to Exit
Create 2-3 scenarios with probability estimates:
If both charts are provided, integrate the strategic and tactical perspectives:
Create a positioning matrix:
Determine which of the four scenarios applies:
Scenario 1: Both Bullish
Scenario 2: Strategic Bullish, Tactical Bearish
Scenario 3: Strategic Bearish, Tactical Bullish

Generated Mar 1, 2026
A financial advisor uses the skill to analyze current S&P 500 breadth charts, identifying if the 8MA is below 23% for a buy signal or near 73% for a sell signal. This informs strategic asset allocation adjustments for client portfolios, helping avoid bear markets and capitalize on oversold opportunities based on backtested strategies.
A day trader applies the skill to the Uptrend Stock Ratio chart, monitoring color transitions from red to green below 15% for long entries and green to red above 35% for exits. This provides short-term tactical timing for equity positions, leveraging the chart's defined thresholds to manage risk over days to weeks.
A research firm uses the skill to analyze both breadth charts, assessing medium-term strategic outlook from the 200MA-based index and short-term tactical trends from the uptrend ratio. Reports are generated in English to advise hedge funds or pension funds on market positioning and risk levels based on objective signal identification.
A fintech platform integrates the skill to analyze provided chart images, explaining key elements like 8MA reversals or 200MA peaks to users. This helps educate retail investors on market breadth concepts and backtested strategies, offering actionable recommendations tailored to different experience levels.
