Bullish

Expert Solution

a) 

Computation of Cumulative Breadth:  
Day Advances Declines Net Advances Cumulative Breadth
1 1056 959 97 97
2 803 1001 -198 -101
3 721 1014 -293 -394
4 728 1418 -690 -1084
5 467 1095 -628 -1712
6 985 852 133 -1579
7 1152 1059 93 -1486
8 933 722 211 -1275
9 1075 888 187 -1088
10 781 766 15 -1073

 

Net Advances = Advances - Declines 

Cumulative Breadth = Current Year Cumulative Breadth + Next Year Cumulative Breadth

 

 

b) The signal is bearish as cumulative breadth is negative; however, the negative number is declining in magnitude, indicative of improvement. Perhaps the worst of the bear market has passed.
