Figure 2. Filtered regime probabilities.

Note: The Figure represents the transition probabilities of all the assets under the study in a two-regime Markov Regime Switching Regression Model. The graphs indicate that Bitcoin and Gold mostly stay in Regime 1 (Bullish Regime) with a considerably low transition to Regime 2 (Bearish Regime). USD/EUR demonstrates a constant transition between the regimes and almost equal durations in either regime. BDI, likewise, exhibits a high probability for both regimes to exist with a considerable probability to transition between the regimes. On the other hand, S&P 500, Energy, and Bonds tend to mostly stay in regime in Regime 2 (Bearish Regime) with a considerable probability of transition from Regime 1 to Regime 1.
