Track Record & Prediction Accuracy

How to interpret: The green bands represent weekly prediction ranges for the S&P 500 index. The red line shows the actual closing values. When the red line stays within the green band, the prediction was accurate. A red dot indicates where the actual value fell outside the predicted range.

This visualization demonstrates the model's accuracy. The width of prediction bands reflects expected market volatility for the given period.

Systematic S&P 500 Forecasts: Beyond The Numbers

My systematic approach to S&P 500 forecasts provides more than just weekly predictions. By analyzing patterns objectively, these forecasts offer valuable insight into the 2025 market outlook without being influenced by headlines or emotional reactions.

The predicted range widths reflect expected market volatility, which can be particularly useful for position sizing and risk management. During periods of higher predicted volatility, these forecasts can help inform hedging strategies or adjustments to portfolio exposure.

When markets deviate from predicted ranges, this often signals fundamental shifts in market dynamics – information that can be more valuable than the predictions themselves. These structured, data-driven forecasts help identify both potential risks and opportunities that narrative-focused analysis might miss.
