ABOUT THE SCORE

Stress and vulnerability, not a crash prediction.

MCRS combines five market and financial-condition signals into a fixed 0–100 score. Higher readings indicate greater systemic market stress and fragility.

The score is designed to identify deterioration over days to months. It does not predict the exact timing of a market decline and should not be interpreted as a probability of a crash.

Important

MCRS is a market-stress and vulnerability indicator. It is not investment advice and is not a calibrated probability that a market crash will occur.
