Trend Signal Now: Signals don’t matter alone

Thursday, December 25, 2025

The biggest mistake I see with long-term market signals is treating them like alarms.

That's never how they work in practice.

JC's work shows that the behavior leading into these signals has historically mattered more than the signal itself. Risk appetite doesn't vanish overnight. It shifts gradually, and that transition leaves clues in price, leadership, and participation.

Trend Labs breaks down that window clearly. Not just what the signal is, but when it tends to appear and how markets have typically behaved in the months leading up to it.

That context is what helps us stay engaged when opportunity is still present, instead of reacting once conditions have already changed.
