Current Compass Reading
62.1/100 — Constructive / Selective Accumulation
Updated: July 10, 2026
The current reading reflects a mixed market backdrop, with support from some credit and volatility conditions offset by weaker breadth, sentiment, leverage, and valuation pressure.
The detailed Compass interpretation follows below, including key news highlights, asset-class movement, strongest and weakest dashboard areas, and selected public indicator readings.
Key News Highlights We Are Watching
This week’s news mix reflects several forces that matter for investors: Fed communication, AI and private-market valuation, geopolitical risk, asset-class movement, and planning decisions around taxes, retirement, and long-term wealth.
- SpaceX Is Entering Your Retirement Account in 3 Waves. Here’s the Timeline. – The Globe and Mail (Google News)
This story is useful because it highlights how quickly private-market growth expectations can translate into public-market valuation debates.

Chairman tells CNBC ‘demand is enormous’ (CNBC Markets)

Savior’s Take
The weekly Compass reading remains neutral, which means the market is not flashing a broad stress signal, but it is also not offering a clean all-clear. Major equity indexes were mixed to modestly changed during the week, which makes the internal Compass signals more important than the headline index move alone. Long-duration bonds were not a clear source of support, keeping rates and duration sensitivity in focus. Commodity-sensitive areas were mixed, so they are not sending a single dominant signal. This week’s news backdrop ? This week’s news mix reflects several forces that matter for investors: Fed communication, AI and private-market valuation, geopolitical risk, asset-class movement, and planning decisions around taxes, retirement, and long-term wealth. ? matters because headlines can move sentiment quickly, but the Compass is designed to separate short-term news reaction from broader market quality. This is not a recommendation to buy or sell any security. It is a disciplined framework for understanding what is supporting markets, what is pressuring markets, and where risk/reward may be shifting.

What Changed
The Compass currently reads 62.1/100, signaling a Constructive / Selective Accumulation posture.
The Compass changed modestly versus the last published reading, moving from 66.0/100 to 62.1/100 (-3.9 points).
The current setup remains a balance between supportive surface conditions and longer-term pressure from valuation, leverage, and concentration.
In plain English: the market setup is broadly similar to the prior published reading. The signal is not extreme, so confirmation matters.
Weekly Compass Update — Quick Read
Current Compass reading: 62.1/100 — Constructive / Selective Accumulation.
Weekly comparison: The Compass moved from 66.0/100 to 62.1/100, a week-over-week change of -3.9 points.
The setup remains constructive, but the softer weekly reading argues for more selectivity and risk control. A constructive regime is not the same thing as an all-clear signal.
Daily Dashboard Reminder
The daily Compass Dashboard is updated between weekly Insights and gives readers a more current view of the Compass score, market regime, market snapshot, key supports, key pressures, and Savior’s Take.
Weekly Market Movers: Narrow Leadership Beneath the Surface
The latest Pattern Lab / Market Movers update shows a market that was positive at the headline level but still narrow underneath.
| Largest dollar gainer | NVDA (+$390.7B) |
| Largest dollar loser | INTC (-$52.8B) |
| Estimated cap-weighted return | +1.18% |
| Estimated equal-weight return | -0.14% |
| Top 50 contribution | +1.126 percentage points |
| Bottom 450 contribution | +0.056 percentage points |
| Advancers / decliners | 214 advancers / 287 decliners |
Savior’s Take: This week was narrow beneath the surface. The cap-weighted index was positive, while equal weight was negative, which means the largest companies masked weakness in the average stock. Both the top 50 and bottom 450 contributed positively, but the top 50 carried most of the week.
Longer-Term Market Status: Constructive Short Term, Expensive Long Term
The near- and intermediate-term Compass remains constructive, but longer-term valuation pressure remains meaningful. Broad valuation measures such as market-cap-to-GDP, CAPE, and price-to-sales remain elevated versus history.
In plain English: the market can keep working when liquidity, credit, trend, and leadership remain supportive. But when valuations are already rich, earnings, margins, rates, and AI-capex assumptions have to keep delivering.
What We Are Watching Next Week
This week: AI and semiconductor leadership again helped support the headline market, but breadth remained uneven.
Next week: earnings season becomes the main test. We will be watching bank and technology earnings, AI-capex commentary, credit spreads, inflation/rate expectations, and whether broader participation improves.
Why this weekly update matters now
The weekly Compass Insight is designed to go deeper than the daily dashboard. The dashboard shows the current read;
this weekly note connects the score to the current macro backdrop, market internals, credit, volatility, valuation, leverage, and the news investors are actually watching.
- Headline strength remained narrow beneath the surface: The Compass moved from the prior weekly reading of 66.0/100 to 62.1/100 (-3.5 points), but the more important message this week was market structure: large AI and semiconductor leaders helped the headline index, while the average stock was weaker.
Why it matters: That supports a constructive but selective posture, not an all-clear signal. - Equity-market weakness still deserves attention: Several major equity and risk-sensitive areas were weaker for the week.
Why it matters: A constructive Compass reading should still be interpreted through the lens of selectivity and risk control. - Inflation, rates, and Fed communication remained central: Markets remained sensitive to whether inflation pressure and policy expectations could keep financial conditions tighter.
Why it matters: When valuation is elevated, rates and inflation headlines can have an outsized impact on sentiment.
What to Watch Next Week
- Breadth confirmation: Watch whether participation broadens beyond mega-cap and AI-linked leadership.
- Credit confirmation: Watch whether high-yield and investment-grade spreads remain contained.
- Rates and inflation pressure: Watch whether Treasury yields and inflation expectations continue to pressure valuation.
- Volatility: Watch whether VIX remains contained or rises alongside weaker breadth.
- Compass regime durability: Watch whether the score can hold above 60 or slips back toward Neutral / Hold.
What Improved
- Volatility remains relatively subdued, suggesting investors are not yet aggressively hedging downside risk.
- Corporate credit spreads remain relatively calm, meaning bond markets are not yet signaling broad financial stress.
What Deteriorated or Still Deserves Caution
- Margin debt remains elevated, which can amplify downside volatility during periods of market stress.
- The Buffett Indicator remains near historically elevated levels, suggesting market value is high relative to the size of the economy.
- Price-to-sales ratios remain historically stretched, leaving less room for disappointment.
Early-Warning Flags
The following public-facing caution flags are currently active. These are not predictions; they are reminders that risk/reward can shift before headlines fully reflect it.
- SPX extended above 250DMA
- Buffett Indicator extremely elevated
- CAPE extremely elevated
Strongest Areas of the Dashboard
| Dashboard Area | What It Means |
|---|---|
| Credit & Funding | Supportive. Credit and funding conditions are not yet confirming a broad stress event. |
| Volatility / Dealer / Options | Calm on the surface. Volatility remains contained, though that can change quickly when positioning is crowded. |
| Breadth & Structure | Fragile. Participation beneath the surface is not as strong as the headline indexes suggest. |
Weakest Areas of the Dashboard
| Dashboard Area | What It Means |
|---|---|
| Valuation / Fundamentals | Pressure point. Long-term valuation leaves less room for disappointment. |
| Leverage / Fragility | Pressure point. Elevated leverage can amplify downside if volatility or credit stress appears. |
| Sentiment & Hedging | Mixed. Sentiment and positioning argue against complacency. |
| Macro / Rates / Policy | Manageable. Rates and policy remain important, but they are not currently the primary source of pressure. |
Key Public Indicator Readings
These selected readings help explain the current market setup. The public version shows directional context and interpretation, not the full proprietary scoring methodology.
| Indicator | Latest Reading | What It Is | What This Reading Means |
|---|---|---|---|
| SPX % Above 50DMA | 68.7375 | The percentage of S&P 500 stocks trading above their 50-day moving average. | A reading of 68.7% means just over half of S&P 500 components are in a short-term positive trend. Higher readings usually suggest healthier participation beneath the headline index. Lower readings suggest the rally is being carried by fewer stocks. |
| SPX % Above 200DMA | 67.7355 | The percentage of S&P 500 stocks trading above their 200-day moving average. | A reading of 67.7% means roughly six out of ten S&P 500 stocks remain above their long-term trend line. That is not a collapse, but it is not the kind of broad participation typically seen in the strongest risk-on markets. |
| NDX % Above 50DMA | 58.0 | The percentage of Nasdaq-100 stocks trading above their 50-day moving average. | A reading of 58.0% means Nasdaq-100 participation is only modestly positive. For a technology-led market, stronger readings would give more confidence that leadership is broad rather than concentrated. |
| NYSE A/D Trend Score | 68.2093 | A breadth proxy showing whether more stocks are advancing than declining. | A reading of 68.2 suggests advancing participation is only slightly above neutral. That means the market is not showing broad internal strength even if the headline indexes look stable. |
| New Highs – New Lows | 20.0 | The number of stocks making new highs minus the number making new lows. | A reading of 20 means new highs are exceeding new lows. The larger and more persistent this number becomes, the healthier the market?s internal leadership usually is. |
| SPX Distance to 250DMA % | 11.0581 | How far the S&P 500 is trading above or below its long-term 250-day moving average. | A reading of 11.1% means the S&P 500 is meaningfully above its long-term trend. That confirms positive momentum, but it also means the market is extended and may have less room for disappointment. |
| VIX | 15.03 | The market’s expected volatility level implied by S&P 500 options. | A VIX reading of 15.0 suggests volatility expectations remain relatively contained. That can support markets, but low volatility can also hide complacency if breadth or valuation signals are weakening. |
| High Yield OAS | 2.7 | The extra yield investors demand to own high-yield bonds versus comparable Treasuries. | A high-yield spread of 2.70% is still relatively contained. That means corporate credit is not yet confirming broad financial stress, which is one of the more important supports for the current market backdrop. |
| Investment Grade OAS | 0.76 | The extra yield investors demand to own investment-grade corporate bonds versus comparable Treasuries. | An investment-grade spread of 0.76% remains tight. That suggests higher-quality corporate credit markets are still functioning normally and are not yet sending a major stress signal. |
| Buffett Indicator % | 229.7 | A broad valuation gauge comparing total U.S. stock market value to the size of the economy. | A reading near 229.7% is historically elevated. That does not predict timing, but it means long-term valuation leaves less margin for error if growth, earnings, or rates disappoint. |
| CAPE | 41.57 | A long-term valuation measure comparing stock prices to inflation-adjusted 10-year average earnings. | A CAPE reading of 41.6 is high relative to long-term history. That makes future returns more dependent on strong earnings growth and supportive liquidity, rather than valuation expansion. |
Market Insight of the Week
A market can rise on the surface while breadth, valuation, or sentiment weaken underneath.
Market Tip: Use daily news as context, but let the dashboard internals determine whether the market backdrop is improving or deteriorating.

How Investors Should Think About This
The goal of the Compass is not prediction. It is disciplined risk awareness.
A higher reading means market conviction has improved. It does not mean risk has disappeared. A lower reading means market conviction has weakened.
It does not mean downside is guaranteed.
The value is in the change: whether participation is broadening or narrowing, whether credit is confirming or rejecting stress,
and whether valuation and leverage leave room for error.
