Today’s lesson: your best crypto trades usually happen when macro signals align.
Before you trade BTC/ETH, check 2 things:
DXY direction (liquidity tightening or easing)
Gold/Silver behavior (hedging bid or unwind pressure)
Quick reads:
DXY rising = tighter conditions → breakouts fail more often
DXY falling = easier conditions → trends hold more often
Gold/Silver pumping = hedging demand → expect wicks and fake moves
Gold/Silver dumping hard = unwind pressure → expect second sweeps
Today’s rule:
Only trade bigger when the macro picture is clean. Otherwise, trade smaller or stay flat.
Question:
Are DXY and metals aligned today, or mixed (meaning you should lower risk)?
