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.
