Pressure and timing

Drawdowns and lead/lag relationship

The strongest link is in the same week. Lead/lag evidence is treated as secondary because timing relationships can change quickly.

Observable signals

Signals that would confirm or change the reading

These are conditions to monitor, not price targets or forecasts.

Relative strengthBelow the zero baseline

A sustained move above zero would mark a meaningful repair in the stock/benchmark ratio.

Up/down beta-0.16 upside-minus-downside gap

Downside beta is higher than upside beta. A narrowing gap would be the first sign of better asymmetry.

Exposure trendBeta is stable

Rising beta means broad-market moves are carrying more weight; falling beta means ticker-specific forces are carrying more weight.
