What is Market Structure Shift?
Market Structure Shift is market-structure terminology used to describe the relationship between swings, trend direction, ranges or important price boundaries. It names what the chart is doing without requiring a separate indicator.
Market Structure Shift matters because it gives analysts a consistent way to discuss price-structure interpretation. Market-structure terms describe how successive highs, lows, ranges and breaks relate to one another without requiring a separate indicator.
How to read Market Structure Shift
Read Market Structure Shift together with trend, timeframe, volatility and market context. Its main role is price-structure interpretation, not replacing the underlying price series.
What Market Structure Shift does not tell you
The term should be read as descriptive chart language rather than as a self-contained forecast. Parameter choices, timeframe and data quality can materially change the result.
Use in bonds, rates and macro markets
A yield breakout and a bond-price breakout have opposite directional implications for rates, so the charted variable must always be identified.
Technical chart structures are context, not certainty. BondStats does not present a candlestick, drawing tool, indicator reading or chart pattern as a standalone investment recommendation. Where a concept depends on discretionary anchors or parameter choices, those choices should be made explicit.
