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 9,090 daily observations (36 years of history).

What historically happens from here

When FV has historically been at today's severity decile, here is what happened next. Means are over daily forward windows; confidence intervals use a 20-day moving-block bootstrap to respect the overlap in overlapping-window returns. Base-rate numbers, not forecasts — the past regime is one sample.

The full 10-decile table below shows the pattern across the market's entire history, so you can see whether forward returns move monotonic-ally with severity or follow a different shape.

Based on 3,834 prior days where FV was in this severity decile. Green = 95% CI excludes zero on the positive side; red = negative side; grey = indistinguishable from zero.

Cross-market drivers

When FV 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-FV-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 FV’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.

Two complementary pain-over-time metrics appear in the Numbers grid above: the ulcer index (Peter Martin, 1987; root-mean-square of drawdown over a trailing window, emphasizes deep drops) and the Underwater Volume Index (Dstendahl; linear integral of |dd| over the current episode, weighs long shallow bleeds on equal footing with short deep ones). A -5% drawdown that drags on for years can produce a larger UVI than a -20% drawdown that resolves in weeks; ulcer ranks the second more painful. Both lenses are honest.

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.
