Residual: +$12,360.02/index points (base equilibrium value — the level SPX500 would trade at absent these cyclical factor pressures) Validation: Components sum to -$5,642.62 vs actual $6,717.40. Net bearish factor pressure of $5,642.62 applied against an implied base of ~$12,360. The large residual reflects that equity index prices are dominated by long-term earnings/growth base with cyclical factors creating deviations.
