Sorry, was dealing with an insurance adjuster, so could only give cryptic answer. Here is a definition of volume breadth: Volume breadth is often measured using the Up/Down Volume ratio, which compares the volume of stocks that are rising to the volume of stocks that are falling. A high Up/Down Volume ratio indicates a bullish sentiment, while a low Up/Down Volume ratio indicates a bearish sentiment.

    The bottom panel in those charts shows the ratio of up volume to down volume. This can provide a view into the underlying strength of a move, but it is secondary to price.
