Balanced watch. Analyst/revision signal (71/100) is the strongest signal; valuation pressure (30/100) is the main constraint. Model confidence is 45/100 — some inputs are unavailable, so treat this as a directional research screen rather than a forecast. Long-term secular context is tracked separately: 10 Years +1196.2% total; yesterday -2.1%. Comparable past signals have verified against subsequent prices 13.3% of the time.
Expected-return math is scaled by beta and realized volatility before confidence is applied.
Short-horizon expected moves are volume-weighted so thin moves get less credit than confirmed tape.
Sector momentum is included beside the broader market regime.
