Breadth does improve prior to a blow off top and crash- but it also improves at bottoms. The 87 chart showed the A/D made a final run of about 1 month from it's lows before the crash- If that happens again, we have another 3-4 weeks of insanity, since the A/D just bottomed last week.

This sure doesn't look like a bottom when you look at the indexes- but the small caps have been on a downward ride for over a year now- so be careful out there. RUT looks like it is making another run at that trendline now. There are only two ways to close that divergence between the indexes and the A/D. The one we expect (crash/correction in the indexes)is the usual way- but the other way could conceivably happen. I'm not ruling anything out in this looney market.

Some interesting comments wrt blow off tops:
