## Interpretation Guide

| Breadth Score | Market Mode | Strategy Implication |
| --- | --- | --- |
| > +60 | Strong risk-on | Trend-following, momentum strategies |
| +20 to +60 | Moderate bullish | Selective breakouts, reduced position size |
| -20 to +20 | Mixed/neutral | Mean reversion, range strategies |
| -60 to -20 | Moderate bearish | Short setups, defensive positioning |
| < -60 | Strong risk-off | Counter-trend caution, hedge existing longs |

## Usage

```python
breadth = MarketBreadthAnalyzer.scan_breadth(pairs_data)
print(f"Market: {breadth['market_mode']} | Bias: {breadth['bias']} | {breadth['pct_trending']}% trending")

div = MarketBreadthAnalyzer.breadth_divergence(breadth_history, dxy_prices)
if div["divergence"] != "NONE":
    print(f"WARNING: {div['divergence']} divergence — {div['signal']}")
```
