The model considers 18 subfactors within the broader categories of valuations, bond market indicters, investor sentiment, corporate decisions and financing, profitability, and balance sheets. When close to all 18 subfactors are flashing sell signals, it often means a bear market—defined as a 20% drop—is coming.
