Regime context — size to the state: Constructive Rotation
This regime historically persists ~5 td, p_stay 0.80. Labels are monotone in forward VOLATILITY, not direction — Distribution Risk historically preceded the BEST fwd-20d returns (+2.54%).
SPY +0.40% since prior close; Broken Momentum / Avoid leads (+0.63%), Smaller-Cap High-Beta Breakout lags (-2.73%).
This regime historically persists ~5 td, p_stay 0.80. Labels are monotone in forward VOLATILITY, not direction — Distribution Risk historically preceded the BEST fwd-20d returns (+2.54%).
Down-gaps >=1% have bounced +13-14bps from 10:00 into the close (n=74,435, t=14.3, 51.6% up); strongest faders DIA/XLE/XLI/KRE/MDY/SPY.
High short-float names carry ~2.5x baseline odds of a +15% 10-day move (16.9% vs 6.8%), in BOTH directions.
Most stretched print: % above SMA200 at 67.90 (z60 1.48, n=60).
Best production basket: Broken Momentum / Avoid +0.63% D1; worst: Smaller-Cap High-Beta Breakout -2.73%.
Best sector: Communication Services +1.63% D1; worst: Information Technology -1.36%.
Best theme: Crypto / Digital Assets +0.76% D1; worst: Cybersecurity -1.02%.
Labels are monotone in forward VOLATILITY, not direction — size positions to the risk state, don't chase the label. Transition is empirical; a label change needs two-run confirmation.
Constructive Rotation regime with composite 0.65 and confidence 0.8. Volatility score 1.0 reflects RV20 at the 57.6th percentile, consistent with moderate tail risk. Trend and breadth scores of 1.05 and 0.7 indicate broad participation above moving averages. Rotation score of -0.85 signals a sharp short-term reversal bias, while style favors momentum and high beta. Expected regime dwell is 5 days.
The session closed under a Constructive Rotation regime with a composite score of 0.6475 and confidence of 0.8. Volatility scored 1.0 with 2-year realized vol at the 57.6th percentile, while the rotation component registered -0.85, signaling active sector leadership churn. The transition model assigns an 80% probability of remaining in this regime for one day, with an expected dwell of 5.0 days. The composite improved by 0.08 from the prior close, driven by a 0.5 increase in the rotation subscore and a 0.2 uptick in size, while trend, breadth, volatility, and style were unchanged.
