Positioning lens

Selective only

Demand confirmation before adding exposure.

Failure point

Trend loss

Repeated closes below Trend would weaken the current read.

Momentum, Relative Strength and Market Dynamics

Three independent dimensions show whether direction, leadership and market behaviour agree. The chart normalises each path for visual comparison; the readout preserves the underlying values.

Path risk

Drawdown and realised variability

Drawdown measures distance from the prior high; variability shows how difficult the path has become to hold.

Higher-level confirmation

Weekly architecture

The slower view tests whether the completed-session read is supported by a more durable market structure.

Method boundary

What this dossier measures

The dossier uses completed daily and weekly index observations to describe price architecture, Activity alignment, Trend, Fair Value, relative leadership, momentum, risk and historical state behaviour. It uses only completed observations, does not predict the next move and does not issue an investment instruction. Exchange holidays and legitimate one-session publication lags are retained; feeds more than two weeks behind the current universe are excluded until they recover.
