Trading based on BTC alone? Check these 3 Macro Filters first ⚠️


Big moves in the crypto market don't come from charts alone.
Once you understand these 3 together—global risk sentiment, US liquidity, and BTC structure—your trade bias becomes much clearer.
I look at these 3 things before taking a large position:
✅ 1. KOSPI / Nasdaq Direction
When the equity market is risk-on, the likelihood of liquidity flowing into crypto increases too. But don't take a long position just because the index is green—you need to see whether the move is broad-based.
✅ 2. Bond Yields + DXY
When yields and the Dollar are strong, risk assets may come under pressure.
When yields and DXY are weak, the likelihood of crypto liquidity inflows increases.
✅ 3. BTC Structure
Even if macro is bullish, $BTC if key support is lost, taking altcoin longs becomes riskier.
Whether BTC is holding support—that's my final confirmation.

ZERO HUNTER MACRO CHECK
KOSPI / Nasdaq → Risk-On or Risk-Off?
Bond Yields + DXY → Is liquidity coming in or flowing out?
$BTC Structure → Is Key Support Holding?
Filter Status: Wait for Alignment
If these 3 filters are not aligned in the same direction, I don't take a large position.
The market offers opportunities every day.
But only by protecting your capital can you be ready to seize the next big opportunity.

This macro trio is indeed more reliable than looking at candlesticks alone, especially the divergence between DXY and yields.

Last week’s spike in bond yields scared me into liquidating half my position.

MACRO, but honestly, sometimes the three filters contradicting each other is the biggest headache.

Liquidity inflows and outflows are more telling than the price itself.

When all three indicators are green, go all in; if even one is red, scale back.

I usually use the weekly close to confirm whether key support is holding.
