Weak Downtrend runs a median of 1 session(s) (max 6) — this is session 1. 61% of exits went up.
Market Health crosses the 50 midline
MHI at 47.1 — a close back above 50 would end the 22nd-percentile read.
Phase slips to Bear Market
21.6% of Weak Downtrend exits went straight to Bear — the conditions analog's worst 5-session outcome (−4.16%) lives on that path.
