The indicators used in the BullandBearWise Index are weighted based on the following table. All bullish indicators are then summed and divided into the sum of all the indicators.

When an indicator changes from bearish to bullish, the Index increases 1.5 times the Weighting.

For example, if Consumer Credit (Weighting = 1) turns from bearish to bullish, the BullandBearWise Index would increase by 1.5.
