Methodology
Two SQN readings. Nine states.
Fast SQN captures the last four weeks. Slow SQN captures the last five months. Their direction, slope, and divergence define the base regime.
Volatility and credit conditions add context. A crisis override activates when market stress moves beyond the normal bearish ladder.
