In institutional trading, correlation is king—and with Macro Context v1, you gain real-time access to the very same market intelligence used by top-tier financial players. This powerful analytical tool bridges traditional finance and cryptocurrency markets, delivering actionable insights grounded in academic research and verified institutional behavior.
Designed for traders, analysts, and crypto investors alike, Macro Context v1 monitors 13 advanced layers of market data across equities, bonds, commodities, and digital assets. By tracking key macro indicators and their interplay with crypto movements, it helps identify high-probability opportunities and emerging risks before they become mainstream.
Core Features of Macro Context v1
Multi-Asset Correlation Engine
At its heart, this indicator leverages a sophisticated correlation engine that evaluates how major asset classes move in relation to one another. Real-time analysis covers:
- BTC vs. equities (SPX/NDX)
- Bitcoin and bond yields (US10Y-US2Y spread)
- Crypto volatility and VIX dynamics
- Dollar strength (DXY) impact on risk assets
Understanding these relationships allows traders to anticipate shifts in capital flows—especially during pivotal macroeconomic turning points.
Institutional Divergence Alerts
One of the most valuable signals comes when correlations break down. For example, if tech stocks rise while Bitcoin falls despite favorable conditions, it may signal institutional withdrawal from crypto. These divergence warnings help users stay ahead of broader market turns.
Risk Sentiment Analysis
Using a blend of VIX, DXY, and yield curve data, the system classifies current market sentiment into clear categories:
- 🔴 Fear in System
- 🟡 Cautious Mode
- 🟢 Risk Appetite / Strong Risk-On
- 🟠 Dangerous Complacency
This classification enables smarter positioning—whether you're scaling into altcoins or preparing for volatility spikes.

Key Institutional Proxies Tracked
Macro Context v1 doesn’t just track prices—it identifies real-world proxies for institutional behavior, including:
- MSTR (MicroStrategy) – A leading corporate holder of Bitcoin; its performance often reflects confidence in long-term BTC adoption.
- COIN (Coinbase) – Acts as a gateway for institutional entry into crypto; surges here often precede broader market rallies.
- BTC.D (Bitcoin Dominance) – Declining BTC.D can signal capital rotation into altcoins.
- USDT.D (Tether Dominance) – Rising stablecoin dominance typically indicates risk-off behavior within crypto markets.
- TOTAL3 (Total Altcoin Market Cap) – Helps distinguish retail speculation from institutional capital flows.
These metrics offer a window into where "smart money" is flowing—long before broader market trends emerge.
