### Macro Regime Monitor

| Metric | Current | Key Level |
| --- | --- | --- |
| S&P 500 | 7702.10 (-0.55%) [data: 2026-08-18 close] | 5,200 support / 5,400 resistance |
| VIX | 15.79 [data: 2026-08-18 close] | 22 elevated · 30 panic |
| 10Y Yield | 4.74% [data: 2026-08-18 close] | 4.5% pressure threshold |
| WTI Crude | $84.41 [data: 2026-08-18 close] | $85 inflation pivot |
| DXY | 99.63 [data: 2026-08-18 close] | 105 strong-dollar pressure |

### What the score is saying

A score of 75.0 sits in the bullish regime. The +25.0-point change versus the prior session is what the dimension engine flagged as a fresh directional shift, not a fundamentals re-rating.

### Regime Thresholds

- Score below 60 for two consecutive sessions flips the directional pressure to neutral.
- VIX above 22 while DXY clears 104 amplifies rate-sensitive headwinds.

### What Would Change This View

- If the average score across the top 5 listed names falls more than 8 points within five sessions, the directional pressure thesis is invalidated.
- If VIX closes above 25 for two consecutive sessions while SPY breaks the 20-week MA, defer the constructive outlook.
- If 10Y yield clears 4.75% with DXY above 105, expect the rate-sensitivity dimension to override the current tape.

### Outlook

Monitor the dimension-level scores via the Haruspex dashboard. The next published score update will confirm whether MPC's directional pressure compounds or reverts.
