How to use this tool
Market Stress Index (MSI) aggregates PEPS derivatives, sentiment and event feeds into one 0–100 stress gauge. Higher = more systemic pressure and tail-risk conditions.
How it works
- The dial shows the current composite score and regime (Calm → Extreme).
- Five weighted components break down where stress is coming from — funding and leverage often lead during overheated derivatives markets.
- The 24h delta compares to the prior snapshot — rising MSI suggests deteriorating conditions.
- The history sparkline tracks MSI over recent collection runs (every 15 minutes).
- MSI is complementary to Fear & Greed — stress focuses on structural risk, not crowd sentiment alone.
What to consider
- Elevated MSI does not predict immediate crashes — it flags conditions where moves can be sharper.
- Funding stress can spike during euphoric rallies (longs paying) as well as capitulation (shorts paying).
- Event stress includes regulatory headlines — watch for lag vs price reaction.
- Use with Liquidation Monitor, Funding Screener and Market Event Investigator for full context.
- Exclusive PEPS proprietary index — not financial advice.
