Judging by the follow-through of this week's breakouts, the market reads Neutral. Of the 76 stocks picked between Wednesday last week and Tuesday, 37 closed Friday more than 3% above their entry price — a 48.7% hit rate, inside the 35%–50% band. That compares with 16.7% a week earlier (32.0 pp higher). In plain terms: about 4.9 in every 10 stocks picked earlier in the week finished Friday at least 3% above where they were picked.
| Item | This week |

The median deserves more attention than the average: a few very large winners or losers can move the average, while the median shows what happened to the stock in the middle of the list.

About this indicator
The indicator tracks one specific thing: which stocks the system picked between Wednesday last week and Tuesday, and how many of them closed Friday more than 3% above their pick-day price. A high share means this week's fresh breakouts tended to follow through; a low share means they mostly faded.
Both prices are adjusted closes, so dividends and splits do not create fake drops. A stock picked more than once in the window counts once, using its earliest pick date. Suspended or unpriced records are left out of the denominator, and a return has to be strictly above 3% to count — exactly 3% does not. Because pick dates differ, holding periods this week run from 3 to 7 trading days.
The stocks counted come from three places: KDZD (pocket pivot), YXFZ (monthly reversal), and stocks making a confirmed VCP breakout, including those upgraded from the watch list on volume. The band describes what already happened: above 50% is positive, 35% to 50% neutral, below 35% negative; with fewer than 10 eligible stocks, no band is given.
