How to Read the Forecast

The gauge reflects how today's expected returns compare against the historical average for the current market regime. The algorithm does not simply predict direction — it measures whether conditions today are better or worse than normal. A positive forecast in a low-volatility regime may still read below average if the expected return falls short of the historical baseline for that regime. The gauge is always relative to context, not in isolation.

Green Zone

Expected returns are meaningfully above the historical average for this regime. Conditions favor the bulls.

Yellow Zone

Returns are close to average. No strong directional edge. Market noise is likely to dominate.

Red Zone

Expected returns are below the historical average. Conditions lean bearish relative to the regime.

Because the outlook recalculates every evening, the gauge can shift quickly. The 1 and 2-day readings are most sensitive. The 5 and 10-day readings reflect broader regime momentum. When multiple timeframes agree, the signal carries more weight.

⚠

How to use it. If the gauge bias aligns with your own technical analysis it can serve as confirmation. If it conflicts with your read, that is worth noting too. Check it daily and you will develop a feel for the ebbs and flows over time.
