What It's Actually Worth
Blended value of a standard 56 yr, 34k mi example, ~$96.4K now. The green line weighs confirmed auction sales most heavily (the amber dots — what cars actually hammered for), blends in fast-selling "just-missed" listings, and lightly smooths out month-to-month composition noise.

Lead Indicator Forecast
Some indicators move before this market does. High-Yield Bond Spread has historically led it by about 10 months — so its recent move implies where prices head next (dashed). The solid green line is actual value through today; the shaded path is what the lead implies.
BECAUSE credit spreads fell 9%. THEREFORE, given its usual 10-month head start, we lean DOWN — about −1% (≈ −$1,091) over the next 10 months. Confidence: Moderate (correlation +0.57, 18 months overlap).
Crystal Ball — What Leading Indicators Signal
Distinct from the trend forecast above: this blends all 8 leading indicators (each at its own lead time, de-duplicated so correlated ones don't double-count) into one signal. Leading indicators are collectively signaling higher over the next ~12 months (moderate conviction — 44% of weighted drivers agree), driven mainly by Ethereum (USD) and Nasdaq Composite, though Ethereum (USD) points the other way.
Trend and leading indicators agree — both point up. Higher-conviction read.
Are the indicators agreeing?
Each bar is one driver's current push; longer = more weight. All one side = high conviction; split = low.
