Market Breadth Peaks & Troughs Indicator

26 apr

Indicator Overview

Market Breadth (S5TH) visualizes extremes of market strength and weakness by overlaying -

• a 200-period EMA (long-term trend)
  
• a 5-period EMA (short-term trend, user-adjustable)
  

on the percentage of S&P 500 constituents trading above their 200-day SMA (INDEX:S5TH).
Peaks (▼) and troughs (▲) are detected with prominence filters so you can quickly spot overbought and oversold conditions.

1. Core Logic

Component Description
Breadth series INDEX:S5TH — % of S&P 500 stocks above their 200-SMA
Long EMA 200-EMA to capture the primary trend
Short EMA 5-EMA (default, editable) for short-term swings
Peak detection ta.pivothigh + prominence ⇒ major peaks marked with red ▼
Trough detection (200 EMA) ta.pivotlow + prominence + value < longTroughLvl ⇒ blue ▲
Trough detection (5 EMA) ta.pivotlow + prominence + value < shortTroughLvl ⇒ green ▲
Background shading Pink when 200 EMA slope is down and 5 EMA sits below 200 EMA

2. Adjustable Parameters (input())

Group Variable Default Purpose
Symbol breadthSym INDEX:S5TH Breadth index
Long EMA longLen 200 Period of long EMA
Short EMA shortLen 5 Period of short EMA
Pivot width (long) pivotLen 20 Bars left/right for 200-EMA peaks/troughs
Pivot width (short) pivotLenS 10 Bars for 5-EMA troughs
Prominence (long) promThresh 0.5 %-pt Depth filter for 200-EMA pivots
Prominence (short) promThreshS 3.0 %-pt Depth filter for 5-EMA pivots
Trough level (long) longTroughLvl 50 % Max value to accept a 200-EMA trough
Trough level (short) shortTroughLvl 30 % Max value to accept a 5-EMA trough

⸻
3. Signal Guide

Marker / Color Meaning Typical reading
Red ▼ Major breadth peak Overbought / possible top
Blue ▲ Deep 200-EMA trough End of mid-term correction
Green ▲ Shallow 5-EMA trough (early) Short-term rebound setup
Pink background Long-term down-trend and short-term weak Risk-off phase

⸻
4. Typical Use Cases
1. Counter-trend timing
• Fade greed: trim longs on red ▼
• Buy fear: scale in on green ▲; add on blue ▲
2. Trend filter
• Avoid new longs while the background is pink; wait for a trough & recovery.
3. Risk management
• Reduce exposure when peaks appear, reload partial size on confirmed troughs.

⸻
5. Notes & Tips
• INDEX:S5TH is sourced from TradingView and may be back-adjusted when index membership changes.
• Fine-tune pivotLen, promThresh, and level thresholds to match current volatility before relying on alerts or automated rules.
• Slope thresholds (±0.10 %-pt) that trigger background shading can also be customized for different market regimes.
