The Market Framework Model (MFM)
A structural view on how markets organise themselves.
Markets produce signals easily. What they rarely reveal is structure. Most analysis focuses on isolated indicators, patterns or momentum triggers, while markets behave as systems. With environments, internal cycles, relative strength dynamics and zones where tension builds. The Market Framework Model (MFM) integrates these layers into a single coherent view. MFM is not a signal engine. It is a structural model that clarifies where the market is, how internal momentum rotates, which assets carry the flow, and where localised tension tends to concentrate.
Why MFM exists
Many traders and analysts react to isolated signals without recognising the broader context that produces them. Trends do not reverse randomly. Strong assets do not lose strength suddenly. Volatility rarely appears without prior structural pressure. What was missing was a framework capable of organising these elements into a logical hierarchy. MFM fills that gap.
The four layers of the model
1. Regime: The environment
The higher-timeframe context that defines whether the market is accumulating, distributing, advancing or declining. Regimes shift slowly and form the foundation for every interpretation.
2. Rotation: The internal state
Based on the Momentum Rotation Model (MRM). Shows whether momentum is building, deteriorating, exhausting, repairing or structurally turning. This represents the “time inside the trend.”
3. Leadership: The relational force
Some assets drive flow, others follow it. Leadership identifies which markets exhibit structural strength within their regime, and which are exposed or fragile.
4. Forecast: Localised tension
Not a prediction. Not a direction. Forecast zones highlight where structural compression, asymmetry or pressure is accumulating. They show where movement may originate, not what that movement will be.
What MFM enables
These four layers form a market map that:
- places context above signals
- separates fragile behaviour from healthy movement
- makes leadership and weakness visible
- reveals internal rotation cycles
- exposes structural tension without forecasting outcomes
The result is not certainty, but clarity.
And clarity prevents overreaction.
Who MFM is for
- Traders seeking more than pattern-based interpretation
- Analysts who prefer structure over noise
- Professionals who need a consistent way to read diverse markets
- Anyone who wants to understand where the market is rather than guessing where it may go
MFM applies equally to crypto, equities, commodities and cross-asset relationships. The underlying logic remains consistent.
Why MFM is different
MFM does not aim to outsmart the market.
It aims to organise it:
- No signal-hunting
- No overfitting
- No artificial optimisation
- No promises of performance
Only a clear, repeatable framework that improves decision-making by revealing how the system behaves structurally.
