Second opinion: price action reads BULLExperimentalBull 100% · Neutral 0% · Bear 0% What is this?

The Hidden Markov Model is an alternative, experimental read on the same question: instead of macro indicators, it studies how the S&P 500 itself has been behaving (steady small gains vs violent swings in both directions) and infers which of three hidden market moods we are in. It reacts faster than the macro pillars and can disagree with the light above; when the two disagree, one of them is early.

How it is built. Does not feed the regime light or any score. Shown for transparency while we build a live track record against the macro light above.
