05 Tomorrow's tripwires

Three checks that settle the argument

Confirm
A 5-day return below -4.86% confirms the bear phase analog.
Watch
MHI recovery above 44.6 would signal the bear phase was false.
Break
A rally above 23233.1 with MHI rising past 44.6 would break the bear structure.
The ledger

Where that leaves us

Lines up bullish
  • Historical 5-day average return is +0.35%.
  • MHI at 6th percentile often precedes a bounce.
  • Index decline was just -0.04%, indicating no panic.
Lines up bearish
  • Bear Market phase newly confirmed, MHI at 27.1.
  • Worst-case 5-day forward return of -4.86%.
  • Market Health confidence is low at 10%.

Net read: Bearish. While the average 5-day outlook is +0.35%, the bear phase and -4.86% worst-case risk dominate.

The shift to Bear Market with MHI at 27.1 (6th %ile) trumps the flat -0.04% daily move. Conditions like today favored a +0.35% average 5-day return but with a severe -4.86% tail, warranting caution.
