Zero breakouts out of eighty-seven names tells me the market is marking time, not offering me anything. Nineteen approaching the line is just a watch list, not a buy list. CDW, CHRD, CIB failed because they weren’t acting right when it mattered, and I don’t argue with that. I sit on my hands and wait for price to prove itself.
