How the labels are set

Cumulative TICK is bullish when the total ends above zero and more than 55% of bars added to it, bearish when it ends below zero and more than 55% of bars subtracted, and mixed otherwise.
An advance-decline ratio beyond ±0.70 is lopsided, beyond ±0.10 positive or negative, and even inside that.
Up/down volume beyond ±2 means one side leads, and is even inside that.
Move Health is quiet inside ±25, a move beyond ±25 and strong beyond ±100.
