What’s the market really saying?
The MOTR Risk Gauge is our market “lie detector,” designed to help us decode whether the market is confirming strength or quietly diverging. Powered by five time-tested, inviolable technical inputs, the Gauge evaluates nearly 3,00 stocks across long-term (LT), medium-term (MT) and short-term (ST) timeframes to monitor the prevailing market regime.
Built on 35+ years of market experience from David Lundgren, CMT CFA, the Risk Gauge helps investors stay aligned with what actually matters. To see the Risk Gauge in action, watch here.
As of 6/2/25, the US Risk Gauge is reading Mixed in the key LT and MT timeframes. In our process, that calls for a “sell overbought / buy oversold” approach.
While the major indices remain resilient, underlying sector rotation and internal breadth continue to suggest a more patient stance.
