Read the market shift before consensus does.
Consensus reacts after the event — after the drawdown, the panic, and the rebound.
Average 84% validated prediction signal precision across the S&P 500 cycle.1
RegimeSignal™ was engineered to predict the S&P 500's full market cycle. Its multi-signal framework is designed to flag forming bear regimes, correction landmines, the panic, and the rebound — before they become consensus. The same regime intelligence extends to equity sector calls, global index drawdown alerts, and individual stock calls — so you see the full picture, not just the index.
To our knowledge (public-market review, June 2026), it's the only publicly documented commercial framework reporting per-signal forward precision across a full-cycle regime taxonomy with this validation.
Not hindsight. Not lagging indicators. Forward-looking market regime intelligence.

Validated signal precision
Approximately 84% validated signal precision across the S&P 500 cycle.1
RegimeSignal™ calls the full S&P 500 cycle — pullbacks, corrections, bear regimes, and recoveries — months ahead, averaging ~84% out-of-sample precision across its four signals: bear-market detection (BRS) ~86%, pullback forecasts (MBS T1) ~83%, correction forecasts (MBS T2) ~84%, and recovery confirmation (RRS) ~82%2 — walk-forward validated and independently PhD-validated & audited.
To our knowledge (public-market review, June 2026), it's the only publicly documented commercial framework reporting per-signal forward precision across a full-cycle regime taxonomy with this validation.
What it's for
A full-cycle early market warning system.
One purpose, four jobs. Below is what RegimeSignal™ is built to do — the signals that power each job come right after.
Anticipate
Read forming bear regimes well before they reach consensus.
Observe
Frame pullbacks, drawdowns, and weakening internals while they're still forming.
Re-engage
Confirm bull recoveries with conviction — not on the headline bounce.
Filter
Separate routine noise from regime-level structural change.
The data engine
Most market calls run on opinion. Ours runs on the economy itself.
Every signal RegimeSignal™ fires is built from live, authoritative data — not pundit instinct, not a backtested guess frozen in time. The model reads the same 24 Federal Reserve economic series that move policy, refreshed every market day, and fuses them with real-time price, breadth, sentiment, and news.

When the economy shifts, the model sees it in the data — often weeks before the headlines admit it.
The signals
Four validated models. One complete-cycle foresight engine for the S&P 500.
Each signal is independently constructed and walk-forward validated. Together with Bull Velocity and Bear Velocity, they cover the full S&P 500 cycle — from pullback warning to bear regime to confirmed recovery.
BRS
Bear Regime Signal™
86%¹
Precision when fires
Sees bear markets coming as they form — not after the damage is done. Fires Bear Alerts as the early warning layer for −20% regime risk.
Bear Alert · regime classifier
MBS T1
Market Break Signal — Tier 1
83%²
Precision when fires
Calls −5% pullbacks ahead of the move and triggers the Neutral state — a tactical heads-up before the dip.
Pullback · −5% · Neutral state trigger
MBS T2
Market Break Signal — Tier 2
84%³
Precision when fires
Calls −10% corrections four months ahead — the kind that actually hurt — and hands off to BRS when conditions deepen toward bear.
Correction · −10% · Underperform trigger
RRS
Regime Recovery Signal™
82%⁴ †
Precision when fires
Calls bull-market recovery (+10%) ahead. Stays silent during fake-out rallies, speaks up when the bull is real — the high-conviction recovery confirmation, historically associated with durable bull recoveries.
Recovery · +10% confirmation
Directional gauges only5 — not state triggers; excluded from the 4-signal aggregate due to statistical thinness, disclosed honestly. Useful as supporting context; their contribution to the composite score diminishes as signals decay over time.
Bull Velocity Rating
BWS engineWithin-bull weakening score — watches floorboards creak before the house comes down. 87% within-bull precision across 47 OOS months but AUC 0.67 with N=14 negatives — confirmatory only, not a fire signal.
Bear Velocity Rating
BES engineWithin-bear directional gauge tracking bear-to-recovery transitions. Often precedes RRS by weeks during recovery turns. 21 LOO-CV samples (COVID-dominated) — not walk-forward validated; confirmation only, never a fire signal.
Bull Health Tracker
BHT · descriptive0–100 descriptive companion to Bull Velocity, calibrated against 33 years of bull history (310 clean bull months 1993–2026). Second lens on the same evidence — 60 ≈ historical bull low, 90 ≈ historical bull peak.
Pullback Resolution Gauge
PRG · Neutral companionWithin-Neutral directional gauge — measures which way a Neutral state is resolving. Composite of MBS T1, MBS T2, BRS distance-to-bear, and daily news flow. Components walk-forward validated; composite weighting is not. Confirmatory only.
Recovery Durability Gauge
RDG · Recovery companionWithin-Recovery directional gauge — distinguishes durable returns from bear-market rallies. Composite of RRS, Bear Velocity slope, BRS exit, price vs. 200-day MA, and credit spreads. Components walk-forward validated; composite weighting is not.
Beyond the index
Full-cycle forecasts are the core. They are not the whole coverage.
The four validated S&P 500 models anchor the platform — but the same regime intelligence extends outward to equity sectors, global indices, and individual stocks, so you see where risk is concentrating, not just that it exists.
S&P 500 Year-End Call
Where the year could finish. A probability range for where the S&P 500 finishes the calendar year, built from the historical years that reached this point in the calendar in the same condition the market is in now — and shown alongside live earnings, valuation and margin data from FactSet. Informational research output, not a validated signal.
Calendar-year close · probability range
Sector Prediction
Which sectors break first. The same regime engine applied to S&P 500 sector ETFs — flagging sector-level drawdown risk while the index still looks calm. Sectors that don't clear the modelling bar are shown as not modelled rather than guessed at.
Equity sectors · drawdown calls
Global Index Calls
Risk doesn't stop at the S&P 500. Regime reads on major global and thematic indices, surfacing drawdown alerts abroad — often the first tell that stress is spreading rather than staying local.
Global indices · drawdown alerts
Stock Calls
Name-level reads, same discipline. Individual stock calls framed by the prevailing market regime, so a single-name view is never read in isolation from the cycle it sits inside.
Individual names · regime context
Sector, global index, and stock calls are research context delivered in the platform terminals. They are not part of the four-signal validated aggregate and carry their own disclosures. See the terminals →
Independently Validated & Audited
Two independent PhD-level reviews of RegimeSignal™'s four S&P 500 signals — both reaching "Validated with Qualifications."
Methodology
Disciplined. Validated. Continuously adapted.
No black boxes, no narrative overlays — just a transparent, evidence-driven framework refit on a fixed cadence.
Walk-forward validation
Every signal is constructed and tested under walk-forward protocols designed to mirror real-time decision-making — not curve-fit hindsight.
Expanding-window refits
Classifier models are refit on a regular cadence using expanding windows, so the framework can adapt as markets evolve without discarding cycle history.
AI-augmented, not AI-driven
Machine learning sharpens signal construction and gauge calibration. The methodology, regime definitions, and decision logic remain transparent and auditable.
What it's for
Built for forward-looking risk decisions.
Detect bear formations
Identify the conditions under which S&P 500 bull markets historically transition into bear regimes — before they price.
Anticipate drawdowns
Surface weakening internals during active bull markets, when corrections are most often ignored by consensus.
Confirm recoveries
Distinguish durable bull market recoveries from bear market rallies using signal-based confirmation, not narrative.
Forward-looking signal intelligence

Precision = share of fires followed by the predicted event within the model's forward window. OOS = out-of-sample (walk-forward); LOO-CV = leave-one-out cross-validation. Past market signal record does not guarantee future results.
5 Directional engines (not formal signals): BWS — 47 OOS months, AUC 0.67, threshold ≥ 0.70, within-BULL only — powers Bull Velocity. BES — 21 LOO-CV BEAR months, threshold ≥ 0.55, within-BEAR only — powers Bear Velocity. BHT — descriptive 0–100 companion to Bull Velocity, calibrated against 310 clean bull months (1993–2026); inherits the BWS validation profile. PRG — within-NEUTRAL composite of MBS T1, MBS T2, BRS distance-to-bear, and news flow; components walk-forward validated (footnotes 1–3), composite weighting is not. RDG — within-RECOVERY composite of RRS, BES slope, BRS exit, SPX/200dma, HY OAS; components from validated signals (footnotes 1, 4) plus BES, composite weighting is not. ⚠ All five excluded from the formal 4-signal count — disclosed honestly.
