Swing Trading:
Swing traders can use the Market Breadth to time trades more effectively within short- to medium-term trends.

However, if the histogram starts to drop, it may be an early warning that the trend is losing strength, prompting you to consider exiting or tightening your stop losses. This indicator helps you stay in tune with the market’s short-term direction, optimizing your swing trade entries and exits.
