Time in each phase

Share of this market’s full history spent in each position-in-range band. The 10-year range is rebuilt daily, so these shares are stable: roughly 50% of time in the middle band, 15% in each edge, and the tails taper quickly.

Based on 9,401 daily observations (37 years of history).

Cross-market drivers

When CD enters its deepest-decile drawdown state, which other markets systematically move with it? Below are the markets whose daily log-returns shift most reliably in the same deep-CD-drawdown window, filtered to those with a 95% confidence interval excluding zero.

Shifts are measured in basis points per day (1 bp = 0.01%). Positive = that market strengthens alongside CD’s deep drawdown. Negative = that market weakens alongside it.

How we think about drawdown

Drawdown math is not a one-size-fits-all formula. The same equation that honestly describes the S&P 500 is actively misleading for corn, and both of those break for the Dollar Index. So Market Lab Analytics computes drawdown three ways and chooses the one that fits each market’s nature.

For mean-reverting markets we do not use drawdown-from-peak at all. The primary metric is position in the trailing 10-year range, scored from 0 (at the 10-year low) to 100 (at the 10-year high). Volatility products, FX, and rate futures oscillate around a mean with no secular trend; drawdown-from-peak would be actively misleading.

Every reading on this page is anchored in real market data. The phase labels are computed from the market’s own full history. The cross-market drivers are measured with block-bootstrap confidence intervals so only statistically distinguishable shifts are surfaced. If a number is on this page, you can trace it back to the data that produced it.
