Equity Regime US Stock Market Top and Bottom Timing Signals.

This update reflects the current stock market outlook based on volatility structure, liquidity conditions, and market positioning.

FIG 0 — EGTB Signal (Top & Bottom Timing Model)

Bottom signal remains active within its timing window. Price is stabilizing, but confirmation is still pending.

🟢 Bottom: ACTIVE (Mar 9) | Transition Phase

🔴 Top: NONE

🟡 Volatility compression: IN PROGRESS (incomplete)

⚪ Credit stabilization: HOLDING


Signal Context

The EGTB stock market bottom signal remains active. What we are seeing is process, not confirmation.

Markets have moved, but structure has not aligned.

No new signal.

Recent price action continues to evolve within the timing window defined by the Mar 9 signal.

The market has transitioned from volatility exhaustion into a developing but incomplete compression phase.

Bottoming remains non-synchronous across indices:

– $QQQ remains below structural mid-levels

– $SPX / $DIA / $IWM show partial stabilization

Follow-through remains uneven.

Structure stabilizing. Confirmation pending.

Model Notes

EGTB defines a timing window, not a price-level confirmation.

Signals identify volatility exhaustion and potential inflection zones,

but do not imply immediate trend reversal.

Stock market Bottom signals typically unfold through a multi-step process,

with asynchronous confirmation across assets and structure.

Price confirmation, volatility compression, and cross-asset alignment may develop sequentially, not simultaneously.

EGTB should be used in conjunction with the EGTI trend framework to distinguish between stabilization and confirmed trend transition.

Founder’s Note : Stock Market Bottom Signal — Structure vs Confirmation

The bottom signal remains active. What we are seeing is process, not confirmation.

Markets have moved, but structure has not aligned.

Volatility — Pullback Without Confirmation

Positioning — Capitulation Underway
