S&P 500 Advance-Decline breadth line updates after each day's close:
* the Advance-Decline line is superior to nearly all indicators other than price direction for determining a profitable trade direction
* since the XLF and XLK A-D lines achieved new all-time highs this week, the A-D line for the index needs to achieve new highs in the near future, or the XLF and XLK A-D lines will likely retrace some to the downside
** pullbacks for the A-D line need to be defended at the %b's .50 line in order to maintain a probable advancing structure for the A-D line and SPY price action
