Forecast

The masterbrain trajectory — 7 dated checkpoints. Short rungs (2w, 1m) show the typical range as the primary claim; point calls run from 2 months out. Every claim still gets graded. Predicted Jul 21, 2026 8:53 am
Bear FITB trends lower to $51.20 (-10.8% from $57.40) by Jan 2027. ride-then-fade
ThesisFITB trades well above composite fair value near $41, but low beta, positive award-driven sentiment, and a neutral regime slow the reversion. Expect modest near-term firmness, then gradual drift lower as valuation gravity asserts over months, with earnings catalysts nudging the path.
Invalidated ifA breakout above $60 on strong Q3 earnings beat or hawkish rate repricing that lifts regional banks broadly would falsify the fade.

Why ranges on the short rungs? A 102-prediction trial (2026-07-21) showed 2-week point calls carry no information here — three prompt formulations all lost to simply predicting zero — while the stock's own volatility scale (σ×√t) described those windows well. So the short rungs claim what's actually knowable: the typical travel, with earnings timing flagged where the variance will come from. The internal point calls keep being generated and graded to map where real skill begins. Full evidence: stocks/predictions/V0.5-DESIGN.md §8.

Deterministic control (v0.3 value line) targets $55.03 (-4.1%) — both lines get graded at every checkpoint, so the brain has to beat the formula, not just replace it. Brain: claude-opus-4-7.

Not Yet Modeled

What this v0.4.0 forecast deliberately ignores — the work ahead, in plain sight.
  • Scenario probabilities — one path, no bull/bear split (base_prob = 1.0).
  • Intraday / sub-2-week behaviour — the first claim is at 14 days by design (EOD product).
  • Position sizing / portfolio context — the path is a price claim only.
