Properly tracking market context normally means juggling several indicators: gamma regime
(GEX/DEX), institutional positioning (COT), sentiment, volatility, Fed liquidity. The
Yuka Score condenses these into one immediately readable number.
Institutional positioning (COT) — hedge funds' net positioning and its
recent history.
Market sentiment — fear/greed indicators.
Macro liquidity — the Fed's net liquidity backdrop.
Seasonality — statistical trends over comparable periods.
Concrete example: a negative gamma regime combined with already-extreme
institutional positioning and euphoric sentiment paints a far more meaningful picture of
fragility than any single signal alone.
A Context Tool, Not a Buy/Sell Signal
The Yuka Score isn't designed as an automatic trading signal. It helps quickly answer: is
current market structure broadly supportive or fragile? A favorable score can reinforce
conviction behind a technical setup; a degraded score calls for caution.
