Close-up: the current descent

Zoomed to 2024 onward. The oscillator topped in July 2025 and has been grinding lower for eleven months — but it has stalled well above the historical floor. This is the live question the three zones below are testing.

Three ways this resolves

Projected bottom scenarios

The model cannot tell you which of these wins — and saying so honestly is the point. Each makes a different, falsifiable prediction. As price develops, one zone will be confirmed and the others ruled out. That is your live test.

Floor return
0.21 – 0.23
The flat floor reasserts. Price still has a meaningful leg down to historical bottom territory, as in 2011/2015/2018.
Mild lift (2022-style)
0.24 – 0.28
Bottom completes 5–15% above floor, extending the 2022 pattern. The floor is gently rising — your structural-break thesis, mild form.
Structural break
0.30 – 0.36
Current behavior persists; bottom forms far above floor. The strongest version of the break — range now closing from both ends.
The structural-break hypothesis

What changed after February 2021

The pattern through 2018 was clean: every cycle top reached its descending envelope, every cycle bottom returned to the flat floor near 0.215. The Feb 2021 local top was the last to touch its boundary. From that point both ends began falling short — the Nov 2021 top never reached its envelope, and the 2022 bottom held ~5% above the floor, the first completed bottom not to fully return.

This tracker monitors whether the current cycle extends that shift. The peak-decay trend is well-established (R² = 0.976, stable under leave-one-out). The rising-floor idea is not yet established — it rests on a single completed departure (2022) plus a current bottom that hasn’t finished forming. If this cycle’s trough completes well above 0.215, the hypothesis gains its second data point. If it plunges to the floor, the flat-floor model holds.

How to keep this updated
  1. Open your Maturation Index indicator on TradingView (Daily timeframe).
  2. Read the current oscillator value off the indicator pane.
  3. Paste it into the input box above and hit Update — the status bar, verdict, and scenario flags recompute instantly.
  4. When the oscillator turns up decisively and holds for several weeks, the cycle bottom is likely in. Note which zone it landed in — that’s the result to compare against your other models.
⚠   Read this before relying on anything here

This is a descriptive research tool, not a trading signal, price target, or investment recommendation. The projected bottom is a wide range spanning genuinely unresolved scenarios — the model explicitly cannot tell you which will occur, or exactly when. Timing is statistically unresolved (7 cycle intervals, not significant), so no date is implied.

The rising-floor hypothesis rests on one completed data point. One point is not a trend. Past geometric decay does not guarantee future decay; a single regime change would break it. Do not size positions on this. Anyone making financial decisions from this material does so at their own risk and should consult a licensed adviser. This is not financial or legal advice.
