The TACO Pressure Index converts four live market inputs into 0–100 pressure scores and averages them into a composite reading. The framework penalizes S&P 500 drawdowns, rising 2-year Treasury yields, higher 5-year breakeven inflation, and elevated VIX readings, then groups the result into LOW, ELEVATED, HIGH, and EXTREME regimes.
