Market regime
A persistent market environment — trending, calm, or turbulent — that a rules-based reading identifies from price behaviour, rather than a prediction of what comes next.
A market regime is the character of the environment an asset is in: is the trend constructive or weakening, is momentum building or fading, is volatility calm or elevated? A regime is a description of the present, read from prices — not a forecast.
Witan Way's weekly Charter reads a regime for each of its four pillars — equities, gold, commodities and bitcoin — by combining simple public dimensions such as trend, momentum and coherence into a descriptive state. The state can change; when it does, that is information to weigh, not an instruction to act.
