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.

The current regime is Choppy Neutral (composite 0.4025, confidence 0.87), initiated July 23 and expected to persist for 7.7 trading days, with 6.7 remaining. Breadth sits at 62.9% above the 50-day moving average and 67.9% above the 200-day, while the advance-decline ratio is 1.93 and 55.3% of baskets are positive. Volatility is elevated but contained, with 20-day realized volatility at the 35.5th percentile of the two-year range. Rotation component is elevated at 1.4, indicating active sector shifts. Historically, this regime most often transitions to Constructive Rotation (52.5%) or Distribution Risk (28.8%).
