Market Regime
A market regime is the broad backdrop — bull, bear, or ranging — that changes how every signal behaves.
Also known as: bull market, bear market
Bull vs bear regime
Market regime describes the prevailing environment rather than any single coin's chart. In a bull regime, dips get bought and bullish signals work better; in a bear regime, rallies get sold and the same signals fail more often. A ranging regime chops up trend-following systems.
Regime is why the same signal can have a strong edge in one environment and almost none in another — which is exactly why CoinSeekly's track record splits every signal's back-tested performance by bull versus bear regime instead of quoting a single number.
