Market Timing with Moving-Average Regimes, Risk Appetite, and Sector Signals

Summary

This market-timing weekly report combines a broad-market regime indicator with short-term risk-appetite factors and sector views. It classifies the market as range-bound when the gap between the 20-day and 120-day moving averages of a broad Chinese equity index is below a 3% threshold. For the short-term outlook, it considers trading volume, macroeconomic-event timing, and calendar effects. It also references a two-beta industry model and analyst earnings forecasts to inform sector allocation, while valuation measures and a position model support a suggested equity exposure.

The report cites recent index and sector moves, historical post-New Year returns, and current valuation readings as context for its recommendations. These are snapshots and historical observations rather than a controlled test of the timing framework. The report itself warns that market conditions can change and that the model relies on historical data; its dated forecasts and allocation views should not be treated as current signals.

Key ideas

• A gap below 3% between the 20-day and 120-day averages is treated as a range-bound market regime.
• The short-term outlook combines volume, macro event conditions, and calendar effects as risk-appetite inputs.
• Sector views draw on a two-beta industry model and analyst earnings forecasts.
• Valuation readings and a position model inform the report’s suggested equity exposure.
• The report is time-specific and cautions that market changes can weaken historically based signals.
