Macro Context

Understanding the broader context is critical for any trade:

• Risk appetite: Are equities, crypto, and high-yield bonds moving together? That tells you about overall sentiment.
• Volatility: VIX levels above 20 suggest hedging demand is elevated. Adjust position sizing accordingly.
• Correlation shifts: When assets that normally move together start diverging, something structural is changing.
• Calendar awareness: Check the economic calendar for catalysts that could override technical setups.
