20-Week Breakout Analysis — 2026-11-09

Overview

The 20-week scan produced 373 total signals: 218 bullish (58.4%) and 155 bearish (41.6%). That places the market in the balanced range (40-70% bullish), pointing to mixed institutional sentiment and selective opportunities rather than broad accumulation. Breadth is 60.3% above SMA-40 and sentiment reads Very Bullish / Bullish, but the SA regime is Cautious, so only the highest-conviction setups merit a 4+ score.

Sector leadership is defensive (Consumer Staples 2.9%, Utilities 2.9%, Health Care 2.8%), while Industrials (-0.6%), Energy (-1.6%) and Technology (-2.0%) lag. Many top movers are ETF/ETN products with zero institutional ownership, which weakens signal quality.

Quality Score: 3 / 5. Signal count is healthy, but the ratio is only moderately bullish, fund coverage is thin and the regime is cautious.

Bearish Alerts

All five top bearish signals are Finance-ETF / ETN products with zero institutional funds: HYNX ($13.42, ATR multiple -2.37), SKHL ($5.18, -2.35), SKUU ($13.54, -2.34), SKHX ($7.97, -2.35) and LITG ($5.68, -1.65). LITG stands out with relative volume of 5.6, suggesting active distribution. Each is 63.1% to 77.7% below its 52-week high, which signals sustained downtrends in leveraged or thematic ETF products rather than operating-company weakness.

Sector Theme

Momentum is scattered. ETF/ETN/CEF products dominate both bullish and bearish lists (QBTX, MRNX, JOBX, OUSL, AAOZ on the long side), reflecting speculative, volatile positioning. Operating-company leadership comes from Consumer, Mining and Aerospace/Defense. Defensive sectors lead on ATR%, while Technology, Energy and Industrials lag, consistent with the Cautious regime.

Institutional Summary

• SSMR: 86 funds, +75.5% funds increase, 99.0% ownership, the clearest accumulation signal.
• REF: 64 funds, 53.1% ownership.
• BLSM: 37 funds, 26.8% ownership.
• LYNX: 15 funds, 3.9% ownership.

The ETF names and MSGR show no fund data, so institutional confirmation is absent. Be selective and size positions conservatively in this regime.
