What it does

Assesses heuristic market top risk using O'Neil Distribution Days, Minervini Leading Stock Deterioration, and Monty Defensive Sector Rotation. Generates a 0-100 composite score with risk zone classification. Use when user asks about market top risk, distribution days, defensive rotation, leadership breakdown, or whether to reduce equity exposure. Focuses on 2-8 week tactical timing signals for 10-20% corrections.

Market Top Detector Skill

Purpose

Assess heuristic market top risk using a 6-component scoring system (0-100). Integrates three market risk methodologies:

  1. O'Neil - Distribution Day accumulation (institutional selling)
  2. Minervini - Leading stock deterioration pattern
  3. Monty - Defensive sector rotation signal

Unlike the Bubble Detector (macro/multi-month evaluation), this skill focuses on tactical 2-8 week timing signals that precede 10-20% market corrections.

Score interpretation

Treat the 0-100 composite as a heuristic risk score, not an estimated event probability. A score of 70 does not mean a 70% chance of a top. Risk-budget percentages are policy heuristics, not measured outcome frequencies. Historical patterns are retrospective estimates, not point-in-time evidence. Report no comparable episode when any component is unavailable/invalid or nearest-pattern weighted RMS exceeds 15 points. This tolerance is a predeclared heuristic, not an empirically validated similarity threshold. Follow the point-in-time evaluation protocol before making calibration claims. No measured calibration results are supplied.

When to Use This Skill

English:

  • User asks "Is the market topping?" or "Are we near a top?"
  • User notices distribution days accumulating
  • User observes defensive sectors outperforming growth
  • User sees leading stocks breaking down while indices hold
  • User asks about reducing equity exposure timing
  • User wants to assess correction risk for the next 2-8 weeks

Japanese:

  • 「天井が近い?」「今は利確すべき?」
  • ディストリビューションデーの蓄積を懸念
  • ディフェンシブセクターがグロースをアウトパフォーム
  • 先導株が崩れ始めているが指数はまだ持ちこたえている
  • エクスポージャー縮小のタイミング判断
  • 今後2〜8週間の調整リスクを評価したい
