VTI strategy research

VTI Regime Rotation backtest

Research a simpler allocation that holds VTI in bull regimes and during oversold rebounds, then rotates to short-duration Treasury exposure through BSV in defensive regimes. This approach still carries market risk. Hypothetical results are not trading instructions or recommendations.
