The Inventory Value Line represents the number of aircraft actively being marketed for sale in USD terms. 2
The Trend Line represents the market’s direction in terms of the balance between sellers and buyers (supply and
demand) at today’s price levels. A rising Trend Line indicates that pre-owned activity is stabilizing, with sellers of
aircraft increasingly likely to find buyers.
The Signal Line represents an indication of where the market’s direction may be heading in the future. A Signal
Line consistently falling below the Trend Line indicates that any improvement in the market’s direction may not be
entirely sustainable.
