The Market Breadth Ratio Analyzer is designed to provide traders with a clear and visual representation of market breadth for the NYSE (New York Stock Exchange) and NASDAQ. By calculating the ratio of Up-Volume to Down-Volume as a percentage, it highlights whether the market is in a strong uptrend, downtrend, or a neutral state.

Purpose of the Indicator
Identify Trending Days: Quickly determine if the market is showing a strong uptrend or downtrend.
Filter Out Choppy Markets: Avoid indecisive, sideways market conditions.
Understand Market Breadth: Measure the balance between buying and selling volume to assess overall market strength.

Use Cases
Identifying Trend Days:
If the NYSE Ratio is 65% and NASDAQ Ratio is 70%, this indicates a clear uptrend, making it ideal for long trades.

Recognizing Choppy Days:
If both Ratios fluctuate between 40% and 60%, it suggests indecision and a likely sideways market.

Detecting Divergences:
If NYSE shows a strong uptrend but NASDAQ remains neutral, it could indicate divergence between the indices.
