Market Update 7:45 PM ET — Bearish Breadth, 2576 Bull Setups Active | September 23, 2026

Market Conditions at 7:45 PM ET

Market breadth is running cold at 7:45 PM ET, with just 25% of the 10,228 stocks in our universe flashing bullish setups—2,576 bull signals against 2,758 bear setups. The average SCTR sits at a dismal 5.9, and even SPY's confirmed bull trend carries a weak SCTR of 7 with only two bull signals to its name. That divergence between trend and internals tells you the index is being held up by a narrow set of names while the broad tape deteriorates underneath. The strongest bull signals are clustered in ETH, TCGL, GGLS, RKLZ, and ABTC, while TXG, STFS, and DFSC screen as the most extended and vulnerable to mean reversion. With breadth this lopsided and the average SCTR below 10, the path of least resistance over the next 60 to 90 minutes favors the downside. Bear setups already outnumber bulls, and when SPY's trend label says bull but its SCTR says broken, the index typically resolves toward the weaker internals. Watch for failed rallies into resistance to get sold, with the most extended names—TXG, STFS, DFSC—leading any pullback. A breadth reading this thin rarely produces sustained upside without a sharp flush first. Scan the full bull and bear setup lists now to position ahead of the next leg.
