Market Cycle Radar (US Market)

53/100
Mid Cycle
Avg. of 11 indicators

Where Are We in the Cycle?

The radar combines slow-moving credit, valuation, and economic indicators into a cycle position between early/healthy and late/overextended. Each value is ranked against its own distribution — not against fixed thresholds. The basis is the available history of each series, at most 10 years; the start year is shown on every card. Unlike the fear/greed barometer, the radar does not measure daily sentiment but the position in the cycle.
