🚨What the Fed does this week matters more than the RSI of BTC
An altcoin can have a perfect technical setup and still get crushed by a surprise in interest rates. The crypto-macro correlation, long underestimated by “pure technical” traders, has become a dominant factor since institutional flows have weighed more heavily on the market.
Three macro signals to incorporate into your crypto read: the trajectory of real rates (not just nominal), global liquidity indicators (broader M2), and sentiment toward traditional risk assets (Nasdaq as an advanced proxy for crypto risk appetite).
Technical analysis is still useful, but it answers “where” and “when,” not “why right now.” Macro answers the “why.”
