⚠️ EARLY RISK-OFF — Despite today's massive rally (SPX +1.75%, NASDAQ +2.54%, Russell +3.02%), the ensemble regime model classifies the environment as EARLY RISK-OFF with 44.3% probability. Crisis probability remains elevated at 23.6%. VIX declined to 19.44 but the 5-day transition matrix shows no dominant path forward. Strategy: favor defensive quality names + selective breakouts on names hitting new highs. R/R minimum 1:2.0 enforced.
⚠ Regime Shift: RISK-OFF → EARLY RISK-OFF: Yesterday's RISK-OFF classification (regime score 0.30, crisis 52.3%) has softened to EARLY RISK-OFF (0.44) following today's broad market rally. SPX surged +1.75%, NASDAQ +2.54%, Russell +3.02%. However, the ensemble model still sees early_risk_off as the dominant probability (44.3%) with crisis at 23.6%. The 1-day rally does not erase the structural caution. We treat this as a relief bounce within a cautious regime, not a regime flip to RISK-ON.

The ensemble regime probability stands at 0.44, classified as EARLY RISK-OFF. Component scores: SPX breadth 0.675 (bullish, above DMAs), VIX 0.454 (declining but still elevated), Credit 0.435 (HYG stable at 79.94), DXY 0.562 (dollar weakening at 99.70), TLT 0.176 (bonds under pressure), Liquidity 0.306. Probabilities: early_risk_off 44.3%, crisis 23.6%, neutral 24.3%, risk_on 7.8%. The AutoScreener paradoxically reports RISK-ON (0.79), but the ensemble model — which combines HMM and factor approaches — sees the structural picture more cautiously. 5-day transition is diffuse: early_risk_off 29.2%, neutral 27.6%, crisis 22.4%, risk_on 20.9%.

Session strategy: Suite aux rétrospectives et à l'analyse régime-score-label-lag (leçon scanner-lessons), nous traitons ce marché comme EARLY RISK-OFF malgré le rally d'aujourd'hui. Strategy weights: Breakout 40%, Momentum 30%, Pullback 30%. (1) Semi equipment breakout — LRCX à un nouveau plus haut 52 semaines sur le boom AI capex; (2) Industrials quality — CAT et GE près de leurs plus hauts, bénéficiant du cycle infrastructure US; (3) Healthcare défensif — JNJ et MRK en momentum propre, décorrélés des cycliques; (4) Staples shelter — PG comme stabilisateur de portefeuille; (5) EU diversification — BBVA (breakout financier) et NVO (pullback pharma); (6) Gold + Japan — GLD comme hedge et EWJ pour l'APAC. Énergie exclue (leçon energy-early-risk-off-block: 3 rétros consécutives montrent Energy perd en EARLY RISK-OFF).

Why EARLY RISK-OFF despite today's massive rally?

A single day's rally — however large — does not constitute a regime change. The ensemble model uses 6 indicators over rolling windows (VIX level + 5d change, SPY 20d return, HYG/TLT/UUP 5d returns) to classify the market state probabilistically. Yesterday's crisis probability of 52.3% doesn't evaporate because of one green day. The 5-day transition matrix shows no dominant path: the market has roughly equal chances of remaining in EARLY RISK-OFF (29%), transitioning to NEUTRAL (28%), or escalating to CRISIS (22%). This is the definition of regime uncertainty. In this environment, we want high-quality names with strong balance sheets, breakouts to new highs (confirming demand), and defensive allocations (healthcare, staples, gold) that protect if the bounce fades. The lesson from scanner-lessons.json 'regime-score-label-lag' is clear: trust the ensemble model, not the label.

Week-Ahead Thesis

Two forces shape this scan: (1) Relief bounce from yesterday's RISK-OFF selloff — SPX recovered +1.75% as the crisis narrative eased, but the ensemble model's 23.6% crisis probability means this is a bounce, not a bottom. (2) FOMC next week (Jun 17-18) — the rate decision and dot plot will dominate market direction. In this environment, we position in two buckets: Breakout leaders (LRCX in semis, GE in aerospace, MRK in pharma, BBVA in EU financials, EWJ in Japan) that are hitting new highs and confirming institutional demand; and Defensive quality (JNJ, PG, NVO, GLD) that protect capital if the bounce fades. Energy is excluded per scanner-lessons rule 'energy-early-risk-off-block' — three consecutive retrospectives show Energy underperforms in EARLY RISK-OFF.

Portfolio Parameters & Historical Performance

Performance data will be available after the sweep cycle completes.

How to use these levels

Entry zones are ranges — enter at the open (9:30–9:45 ET) if price falls within range. For EU setups, enter at the London open or early US session ADR price. Stop losses are hard exits, not mental stops. TP1 is the primary profit target: take 50% off at TP1, move stop to breakeven, trail the remainder to TP2. R/R ratios assume entry at the midpoint of the range. Horizon is the expected time to TP1 — if TP1 is not hit within 2× the horizon, reassess.

Methodology

1. Market Regime Detection

We compute a composite regime score from 6 components: VIX (sub-20 = 0 = bullish), SPX breadth (above 50/200 DMA), Credit (HYG spread normalization), DXY (weak dollar = bullish for multinationals), Liquidity (Fed balance sheet trend), and TLT (bond market signal). Score range 0–1: 0–0.30 = RISK-ON, 0.30–0.50 = NEUTRAL/Early Risk-Off, 0.50–0.70 = RISK-OFF, >0.70 = DEEP RISK-OFF. The VIX close behavior is the primary confirmation signal.

2. Multi-Strategy Screening

We run 3 complementary DSL screens: (a) Momentum Expansion: close>sma(close,20) && vol>sma(vol,20)*1.5 && rsi14>50 && rsi14<75, (b) Breakout Squeeze: close>sma(close,50) && atr(14)>atr(28)*1.2, (c) Pullback-to-Support: rsi14<45 && close>sma(close,200) && close<sma(close,50)*1.05. Screened universe: US mega-caps, EU/ADR large-caps, Asian ADRs, and sector ETFs. Short Squeeze is excluded from all screens per protocol established March 20, 2026.

3. Composite Scoring (4 Factors)

Each setup receives a score 0–100 based on: Technical (40%) — RSI position, MACD signal, SMA alignment, volume vs average; Momentum (30%) — 1-week, 1-month, 3-month price performance; Confluence (20%) — number of independent signals aligned (min 3 required for A+); Catalyst (10%) — identifiable near-term catalyst (earnings, sector rotation, macro event). Only setups scoring ≥85 qualify as A+.

4. Anti-Dilution & Quality Filter

All selected tickers are vetted for dilution risk: no S-3 shelf registrations, ATM programs, PIPE structures, or aggressive underwriter relationships. Short Squeeze permanently excluded. Open-position exclusions applied per current portfolio state.

5. Validation & Ranking

Final ranking prioritizes: (1) earnings catalyst recency/quality, (2) geopolitical/macro thematic alignment, (3) momentum quality, (4) diversification requirements (min 5 US, 2 EU, 1 Asia, 2 ETF). R/R minimum of 1:1.5 enforced for all setups. Sharia compliance tagged on every setup.
