GDR Model Outlook

Overall Outlook (as of 26 Nov 2025): BULLISH. The model is back to fully bullish, which means that, according to its framework, the odds of continued upside are relatively high. Let’s see if it sticks this time…

Fundamentals Outlook (as of 24 Nov 2025): Rich. The model has adjusted valuations slightly upward following the release of new data. Going forward GDR Model positioning should tactically tilt a little more towards the long side, all else equal. Note that this is just a barometer to help guide longer-term decision-making rather than short-term market timing.

IMPORTANT NOTE: it’s unknown what the impact of tariffs on valuations (or what the ultimate level of the tariffs themselves) will actually be on valuations. Rather than make tariff-related assumptions to adjust the model accordingly, the Fundamentals Outlook will remain fully data-driven as it’s always been. All other portions of the model are entirely unaffected.

Long-Term Outlook (as of 21 Nov 2025): Bullish. The long-term outlook showed real strength to end last week, and it remains bullish.

Short-Term Outlook (as of 26 Nov 2025): Bullish. The market is strong on short-term timeframe.

Breadth Outlook (as of 26 Nov 2025): Bullish. Given that all of the model’s components are pointing in the same direction, this is a significant reading.

Volatility Outlook (as of 26 Nov 2025): Stable. The volatility outlook is back to positive readings. If sustained, the odds of a new swing up increase significantly.

GDR Model Position

Following the notable strength that has persisted since the end last week, the GDR Model is holding a significant long position.
