SAFE is not a price predictor and not a signal generator. It summarizes the current market context as probabilities and converts that context into a target exposure level. The core question is: "How much risk makes sense right now?"
SAFE treats BTC as a living system whose behavior changes over time. It estimates probabilistic regimes, combines them with risk features (volatility, trend stress, hazard), and produces a continuous target exposure between 0 and 1. The dashboard is built for understanding and risk control, not for impulsive trading.
Think of price as the road and SAFE as the weather plus road conditions. It does not tell you the exact destination, but it tells you whether conditions are safe enough to drive fast or whether you should slow down.
Describes market context, reduces risk in dangerous periods, and stays transparent through auditable indicators.
It does not promise to beat buy and hold, it does not call tops or bottoms, and it does not generate buy or sell signals.
The operational output is a target exposure (0..1) and a simple action label (NO ACTION, INCREASE, DECREASE). Adjustments are gradual, and the current bias is long-only with risk throttling.
| Regime | Meaning | Typical context |
|---|---|---|
| CORE | Stable, normal market behavior | Lower noise, steady conditions |
| DRIFT | Stable but gently directional | Soft trend without strong conviction |
| SURGE | Strong move with high volatility | Fast repricing, momentum-driven |
| SHOCK | Stress regime, elevated volatility | Risk-off conditions, drawdown risk |
Markets often contain multiple regimes at once. SAFE shows them as probabilities, not hard switches.
SAFE is a research and engineering framework. It is not financial advice. Any strategy built on top of SAFE should include robust risk controls and out-of-sample validation.
