This skill should be used when analyzing market breadth charts, specifically the S&P 500 Breadth Index (200-Day MA based) and the US Stock Market Uptrend Stock Ratio charts. Use this skill when the user provides breadth chart images for analysis, requests market breadth assessment, positioning strat

Breadth Chart Analyst Overview This skill enables specialized analysis of two complementary market breadth charts that provide strategic (medium to long term) and tactical (short term) market perspectives. Analyze breadth chart images to assess market health, identify trading signals based on backtested strategies, and develop positioning recommendations. All thinking and output are conducted exclusively in English. When to Use Use this skill when: User provides S&P 500 Breadth Index (200 Day MA based) chart images for analysis User provides US Stock Market Uptrend Stock Ratio chart images for analysis User requests market breadth assessment or market health evaluation User asks about medium term strategic positioning based on breadth indicators User needs short term tactical timing signals for swing trading User wants combined strategic and tactical market outlook User requests breadth analysis WITHOUT providing chart images (CSV data mode) Do NOT use this skill when: User asks about individual stock analysis (use us stock analysis skill instead) User needs sector rotation analysis without breadth charts (use sector analyst skill instead) User wants news based market analysis (use market news analyst skill instead) Prerequisites Chart Images Optional : CSV data from public sources is the PRIMARY data source; chart images provide supplementary visual context No API Keys Required : CSV data is fetched from public GitHub Pages; no external API subscriptions needed Language : All analysis and output conducted in English Output This skill generates markdown analysis reports saved to the reports/ directory: Chart 1 only: breadth 200ma analysis [YYYY MM DD].md Chart 2 only: uptrend ratio analysis [YYYY MM DD].md Both charts: breadth combined analysis [YYYY MM DD].md Reports include executive summaries, current readings, signal identification, scenario analysis with probabilities, and actionable positioning recommendations for different trader types. Core Principles 1. Dual Timeframe Analysis : Combine strategic (Chart 1: 200MA Breadth) and tactical (Chart 2: Uptrend Ratio) perspectives 2. Backtested Strategy Focus : Apply proven systematic strategies based on historical patterns 3. Objective Signal Identification : Focus on clearly defined thresholds, transitions, and markers 4. English Communication : Conduct all analysis and generate all reports in English 5. Actionable Recommendations : Provide specific positioning guidance for different investor types Chart Types and Purposes Chart 1: S&P 500 Breadth Index (200 Day MA Based) Purpose : Medium to long term strategic market positioning Key Elements : 8 Day MA (Orange Line) : Short term breadth trend, primary entry signal generator 200 Day MA (Green Line) : Long term breadth trend, primary exit signal generator Red Dashed Line (73%) : Average peak level market overheating threshold Blue Dashed Line (23%) : Average 8MA trough level extreme oversold, excellent buying opportunity Triangles : Purple ▼ = 8MA troughs (buy signal when reverses) Blue ▼ = 200MA troughs (major cycle lows) Red ▲ = 200MA peaks (sell signal) Pink Background : Downtrend periods Backtested Strategy : BUY : When 8MA reverses from a trough (especially below 23%) SELL : When 200MA forms a peak (typically near/above 73%) Result : Historically high performance, avoids bear markets Chart 2: US Stock Market Uptrend Stock Ratio Purpose : Short term tactical timing and swing trading Key Elements : Uptrend Stock Definition : Stocks above 200MA/50MA/20MA with positive 1 month performance Green Regions : Market in uptrend phase Red Regions : Market in downtrend phase ~10% Level (Lower Orange Dashed) : Short term bottom, extreme oversold ~40% Level (Upper Orange Dashed) : Short term top, market overheating Swing Trading Strategy : ENTER LONG : When color changes from red to green (especially from <10 15% levels) EXIT LONG : When color changes from green to red (especially from 35 40% levels) Timeframe : Days to weeks Analysis Workflow Step 0: Fetch CSV Data (PRIMARY SOURCE MANDATORY) CRITICAL : CSV data is the PRIMARY source for all Breadth values. This step MUST be executed BEFORE any image analysis. Why CSV is PRIMARY : OpenCV image detection is fragile chart format changes cause catastrophic failures (Issue 7) CSV provides exact numerical values directly from the data source Image analysis is SUPPLEMENTARY only (for visual trend context) Data Sources : 1. Market Breadth : tradermonty.github.io/market breadth analysis/market breadth data.csv Provides: 200 Day MA, 8 Day MA, Trend, Dead Cross status 2. Uptrend Ratio : tradermonty/uptrend dashboard/data/uptrend ratio timeseries.csv Provides: Current ratio, 10MA, slope, trend (UP/DOWN), color (GREEN/RED) 3. Sector Summary : tradermonty/uptrend dashboard/data/sector summary.csv Provides: Per sector ratio, trend, status (overbought/oversold) Data Source Priority : Priority Source Use For Reliability 1 (PRIMARY) CSV Data All numerical values, dead cross status, color HIGH 2 (SUPPLEMENTARY) Chart Image Visual trend context, pattern confirmation MEDIUM 3 (DEPRECATED) ~~OpenCV detect breadth values.py~~ ~~Breadth detection~~ UNRELIABLE 4 (LAST RESORT) ~~LLM visual reading~~ ~~Emergency only~~ LOW Expected Output : Validation : After running CSV fetch, verify: [ ] CSV data retrieved successfully [ ] 200 Day MA value recorded [ ] 8 Day MA value recorded [ ] Dead cross status determined (8MA < 200MA = dead cross) [ ] Uptrend Ratio value + color + trend recorded [ ] Use these CSV values as the authoritative source for all subsequent analysis Step 1: Receive Chart Images and Prepare Analysis When the user provides breadth chart images for analysis: 1. Confirm receipt of chart image(s) 2. Identify which chart(s) are provided: Chart 1 only (200MA Breadth) Chart 2 only (Uptrend Ratio) Both charts 3. Note any specific focus areas or questions from the user 4. CRITICAL: Extract right edge of chart images before analysis (Step 1.5) If NO chart images are provided : Skip Steps 1, 1.5, and image based analysis. Use CSV data from Step 0 as the sole data source and proceed directly to the analysis and report generation steps. Language Note : All subsequent thinking, analysis, and output will be in English. Step 1.5: Two Stage Chart Analysis (MANDATORY when charts provided) CRITICAL : Use a two stage analysis approach to prevent misreading historical data as current values. Stage 1: Full Chart Analysis (Historical Context) First, analyze the FULL chart image to understand: Overall historical trend and cycles Key historical events (troughs, peaks, recoveries) Long term patterns and context Stage 2: Right Edge Focused Analysis (Current Values) Then, extract and analyze the rightmost 25% of the chart to accurately determine CURRENT values. Execute the Python script to extract the right edge: Why Two Stage Analysis is Mandatory Stage Purpose What to Extract Stage 1 (Full) Historical context, trend cycles Overall patterns, past troughs/peaks Stage 2 (Right Edge) Current values (CRITICAL) 8MA value, 200MA value, current color, current slope Common Error This Prevents: LLM reads 2025 mid year dip (8MA ~25 30%) instead of current value (8MA ~60 65%) By isolating the right edge, the "current" data is unambiguous Analysis Protocol 1. Read full chart → Document historical context 2. Run extraction script → Generate right edge image 3. Read right edge image → Document current values with HIGH CONFIDENCE 4. Cross check : If Stage 1 and Stage 2 values differ significantly, Stage 2 (right edge) takes precedence 5. Report both : Include Stage 1 context AND Stage 2 current values in analysis Step 2: Load Breadth Chart Methodology Before beginning analysis, read the comprehensive breadth chart methodology: This reference contains detailed guidance on: Chart 1: 200MA based breadth index interpretation and strategy Chart 2: Uptrend stock ratio interpretation and strategy Signal identification and threshold significance Strategy rules and risk management Combining both charts for optimal decision making Common pitfalls to avoid Step 3: Examine Sample Charts (First Time or for Reference) To understand the chart format and visual elements, review the sample charts included in this skill: These samples demonstrate: Visual appearance and structure of each chart type How signals and thresholds are displayed Color coding and marker systems Historical patterns and cycles Step 4: Analyze Chart 1 (200MA Based Breadth Index) If Chart 1 is provided, conduct systematic analysis: 4.1 Extract Current Readings From the chart image, identify: Current 8MA level (orange line): Specific percentage Current 200MA level (green line): Specific percentage 8MA slope : Rising, falling, or flat 200MA slope : Rising, falling, or flat Distance from 73% threshold : How close to overheating Distance from 23% threshold : How close to extreme oversold Most recent date visible on the chart 4.1.5 CRITICAL: Latest Data Point Detailed Trend Analysis 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: 1. Confuses the 8MA (orange) with the 200MA (green) 2. Reads historical trends instead of the CURRENT rightmost data points 3. Misidentifies which line is rising vs falling BEFORE analyzing trend direction, FIRST confirm line colors : ✓ 8MA = ORANGE line (fast moving, more volatile) ✓ 200MA = GREEN line (slow moving, smoother) If unsure which is which, STOP and re examine the chart legend/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 : 1. Identify the absolute latest position : Where is the 8MA at the rightmost edge of the chart? 2. Trace back 3 5 data points (approximately 3 5 weeks): What was the 8MA level 1 week ago? What was the 8MA level 2 weeks ago? What was the 8MA level 3 weeks ago? 3. Calculate the directional change : Is the latest value HIGHER or LOWER than 1 week ago? Is the latest value HIGHER or LOWER than 2 weeks ago? What is the trend: consistently rising, consistently falling, or mixed? 4. Determine the CURRENT slope (not historical slope): Rising : Latest data point is higher than previous 2 3 points AND shows upward curvature Falling : Latest data point is lower than previous 2 3 points AND shows downward curvature Flat : Latest data point is approximately equal to previous points (within 2 3%) Critical Questions to Answer : [ ] Is the 8MA currently moving UP or DOWN at the rightmost edge? [ ] If there was a recent trough, has the 8MA sustained the upward move, or has it rolled over? [ ] Count consecutive periods of increase: How many consecutive periods has 8MA risen? (Need 2 3 for confirmation) [ ] Count consecutive periods of decrease: How many consecutive periods has 8MA fallen? (Indicates failed reversal if declining after trough) For 200MA (Green Line) Analyze the very latest trajectory : 1. Identify the absolute latest position : Where is the 200MA at the rightmost edge? 2. Trace back 4 6 weeks : What was the 200MA level 2 weeks ago? What was the 200MA level 4 weeks ago? 3. Determine the CURRENT slope : Is it rising, falling, or flat in the most recent period? Failed Reversal Detection (CRITICAL): If an 8MA trough (purple ▼) was recently identified: [ ] Did the 8MA rise fo
