Net breadth is advancers minus decliners as a share of every measured instrument: +100 is all of them higher over 24 hours, −100 all lower. The line is rebuilt hour by hour from hourly closes; its last point is the board's own reading. The pulse quickens as the risk dial moves away from neutral, either way. The longer history is on the market breadth page.
