Contractionary lean but instruments disagreeing. Surface alignment masks internal divergence.

Most tools try to predict markets. Market Observatory does something different.

It classifies the structural environment of the derivatives market each trading day — using positioning data from 627 F&O instruments.

Not signals. Not forecasts. Just the ecosystem state of the market you operate inside.
