It is important because it shows great correlation to the movements of the stock market, and because it gives us another way to quantify the movements of the market other than looking at the price levels of indices. The second chart shows an example of the daily breadth. We use two different EMAs: one with a 10% smoothing constant, and one with a 5% smoothing constant.
