Can anomalous behavior signal trouble ahead?

Some signals carry useful warning information, but strength is uneven. Spread structure leads at the main two-week horizon; narrative pressure is most useful over one week.

Historical, out-of-sample classification evidence. This is a transparent warning system, not a deterministic crisis forecast.

Question under test

Can an unusually unstable front-month state precede a future stress-driven upward repricing episode?

Why this signal

Realized volatility captures disagreement and unstable price formation, which can indicate a fragile market state before a later tail event.

Current reading

Directionally positive, but it behaves more like a current-state warning than a powerful standalone leading indicator for upward tail events.

Held-out observations shown: 645. “Positive” means the anomaly rule fired before the selected future horizon; it does not imply causation.

Analyst caveat

Because volatility is persistent, part of the signal can reflect an already-unstable regime rather than a new upstream warning mechanism.

How to read lift

A lift of 1.28× means the continuous anomaly score ranks future tail-event dates 1.28 times better than the event base rate. It is evidence of association, not proof that the anomaly caused the event.

How classification works

One transparent test, repeated fold by fold.

01
Observe today
Build one continuous anomaly score from data available by the decision cutoff.
02
Learn “extreme”
Estimate the anomaly cutoff from the training fold only.
03
Look forward
Measure cumulative rolling-front return over the next H days.
04
Test out of sample
Compare the fired rule with the held-out future tail-event label.

$$Y_{t,H}^{\mathrm{up}}=\mathbf{1}\!\left\{R_{t,H}^{\mathrm{cum}}\ge \widehat{VaR}_{H,0.10}^{\mathrm{up,train}}\right\}$$

The target uses only returns from t+1 through t+H. Boundary-crossing training rows are purged before thresholds are estimated.

Evidence posture

What this demo can and cannot claim.

Can say: some anomaly families rank later tail-event dates above the background rate.
Cannot say: a fired anomaly caused a geopolitical or energy-security event.
Next layer: combine frozen family scores in a purge-safe logistic model.
