Frequently asked questions
Why does macro matter for crypto?
Crypto often trades like high-beta liquidity risk. Rates, the dollar, credit stress, and liquidity conditions can change how aggressively traders take risk.
Is macro a trading signal by itself?
No. Macro is context. It should be read with ETF flows, stablecoin liquidity, derivatives positioning, liquidations, and market breadth.
