Closing Thoughts

Dec 23 was the first day of a new episode for the theme, with a streak of 1. The next thing to watch is whether the run lasts more than one session.

Breadth is another marker: all 6 stocks rose on Dec 23, with changes from 2.47% to 9.21%. Fewer gainers or a narrower range in later sessions would show momentum fading.
