Strong Bull
05 Tomorrow's tripwires
Three checks that settle the argument
CONFIRM
A follow-through close above 24,085.70 with turnover holding at or above 0.95x the 20-day average would support the breakout.
WATCH
A drift back to 24,085.70 on declining breadth (advances below 305 or decliners above 192) would raise a yellow flag.
BREAK
A close below 24,085.70, especially if breadth flips negative, would likely negate the breakout and trigger a re-evaluation.
The ledger
Where that leaves us
Lines up bullish
Range breakout on constructive breadth (305:192).
Market Health in Strong Bull with Improving trend and Low risk.
Historical analog average 5-day return +0.33%.
Lines up bearish
StratLab Breadth Index at only 58.1 percentile — not deeply supportive.
Analog worst-case 5-day return is -6.33%.
Strong Bull phase only 1 day old; durability unproven.
Net read: Net Bullish — breakout with breadth confirmation and supportive historical tendencies.
The clean range break shifts the burden of proof to sellers. As long as 24,085.70 holds, the bias remains higher.
