Market view

This week was defined by a persistent disconnect between price inertia and underlying credit health, leading our model to maintain a strictly bearish stance throughout all five sessions. While equity markets attempted to hold their ground, a 7% spike in credit market stress signaled that the foundation is becoming increasingly fragile. Our model’s 100% bearish confidence reflects this growing nervousness, which ultimately outweighed the momentum in our current holdings. Consequently, the portfolio saw a modest decline of 1.87% as the risks we identified began to manifest in the broader market environment. We remain positioned with a 70% allocation, balancing our core equity exposure against defensive gold positions as we monitor these mounting pressures.

Watch next

Keep a close eye on credit spreads and the VIX, as any further volatility could signal a breakdown in current price levels. We will also be monitoring the model's confidence score; should it dip below 55%, it would invalidate our current cautious out

Model positioning

Current cash: 30.0%

VIX 18.9 · Risk-off 3

Model behavior this week

We are maintaining our current defensive posture while keeping a close watch on the 30% cash buffer for potential risk mitigation. The focus for the coming days is to protect capital rather than chase short-term gains in a stressed credit environment.

Concept of the week

Understanding the RSI (14)

The RSI measures momentum on a scale of 0 to 100, currently reflecting a bearish trend despite the moderate VIX of 18.9.

How the model uses it: The model monitors the 14-day RSI to identify potential exhaustion points in price trends.

⚠️ Common mistake: Traders often treat RSI levels as definitive buy or sell signals rather than momentum indicators.

❓ Quick check (answer tomorrow): Values above 70 suggest overbought conditions, while values below 30 suggest oversold conditions.

Yesterday's answer (Oil (WTI)): Oil price in dollars per barrel. When it rises, gasoline and transport get more expensive.
