05 Tomorrow's tripwires

Healthy Uptrend runs a median of 1 session(s) (max 7) — this is session 1. 56% of exits went up.
Market Health crosses the 50 midline
MHI at 66.7 — a close back above 50 would end the 49th-percentile read.
Phase slips to Bear Market
0.0% of Healthy Uptrend exits went straight to Bear — the conditions analog's worst 5-session outcome (−3.20%) lives on that path.
