| +10 to +49 | Bullish Leaning / Neutral | Reasonably balanced, tilted positive — real opportunities exist but so do genuine cracks |
| -10 to +9 | Neutral / Mixed | No clear edge either direction — a coin-flip environment |
| -50 to -11 | Bearish Contraction | Defensive posture warranted — more signals turning negative than positive |
| -100 to -51 | Extremely Bearish / Risk-Off | Capital preservation mode — most "buy the dip" signals are unreliable here |
