Near-term: TWO-SIDED
conviction 5% · 535 up vs 640 down scenarios
Energy sector is two-sided near-term — finely balanced. Of the 1,175 mapped scenarios that move Energy sector, 535 push it up and 640 push it down, and weighting each by its probability, size and how soon it bites, the book skews neither way. The single biggest swing factor is Solar plus storage hits rock bottom (event odds not yet verified; ~2.1% estimated impact on Energy sector if it occurs). This week our model already has Energy sector biased higher. Regime backdrop: The week the hike came back.
Probabilistic, scenario-weighted read from the library + the current regime. A lean is a tilt in the odds, not a promise. Informational, not investment advice.
Near-term read — probability, range, evidence
Energy sector slightly higher over the next 7 days: 57.8% chance of a higher close after combining history, scenarios and current evidence.
The forecast swing band is -2.1% to +3.1% over 7 days. This is the model's comparable-history zone, not a price target. The upside side of the band is wider, so the read has a positive payoff skew even when the headline probability is close to balanced.
The history anchor uses 1,008 comparable 7-day windows; the base rate was 56.5% higher before today’s factors were applied. Status: live tracking started; not enough resolved calls yet.
Today’s tilt came mainly from price behavior, the scenario graph. Each forecast is saved and later scored, so this number will earn calibration over time instead of pretending certainty today.
