Breaking down the macro picture: how structural forces actually move markets

Trading gold, silver, Bitcoin, or risk assets? Here's the thing—most people miss the connection between what's happening in the broader economy and what plays out on their charts.

I've mapped out the key structural drivers and traced them directly to price action across these markets. The framework shows why these correlations exist and what it means for positioning.

I'll be publishing the full slide deck with a detailed positioning report later today. If you're trying to understand how macro tailwinds (or headwinds) translate into specific trade setups, this one's worth reviewing.

NGL, the macro framework is indeed easy to overlook; many people just trade blindly. --- Wait, can your positioning report really explain why gold prices have dropped so much recently? --- Mapping correlations sounds professional, but in the end, it still depends on whether you can make money in real trading... --- You should take a good look at the slide deck once it's out. I feel like I’m missing something between macro and charts. --- Another report to be published. Can this time truly provide a logical chain? --- Structural drivers? Sounds nice, but isn't it just following the Fed and geopolitical moves blindly? --- This kind of framework always feels like armchair analysis after the fact. It looks right, but trading still leaves me confused... --- I'm a bit interested, but not again the old story of US bond yields + dollar strength...

The macro framework is indeed crucial, but in reality, not many people can actually use it.

ngl, this framework sounds good, but whether it can really make money depends on execution.

You really need to master this macro framework, otherwise you're just guessing blindly.

macro correlations are where the real patterns hide—most retail just sees noise tho

The macro approach is back again, old news... but this time the framework actually has some substance. Hey, when will this slide deck be released? I'm eager to see the positioning report. Most people just obsess over K-line charts and completely miss the big economic picture... wake up, everyone. How gold and Bitcoin are linked to macro cycles really needs to be clarified. That's correct, but the key is whether you can actually make money or not.

Macro is indeed easy to fall into pitfalls. Most people can't see the economic impact just by looking at charts; careful analysis is required.

The correlation between macro and charts has indeed been overlooked by most people. Looking forward to seeing your slide deck once it's ready.

NGL, I've been using this macro framework for a while, but the key still comes down to execution. Without it, even the best ideas are useless.

The macro framework sounds good in theory, but whether it can actually make money depends on execution. --- It's both macro and structure-driven, sounds quite professional, but whether you can make money in the market is the real key. --- The slide deck isn't even out yet and you're already hyping it up? Let's wait and see. --- Macro tailwind sounds good, but I'm just worried that a reverse breakout might hit you unexpectedly. --- This idea isn't bad, but the key is how to apply it to BTC and precious metals, as the two logics are completely different. --- Mapping structural drivers? Feels like we're about to start a bunch of theories again. Let's just give signals directly, everyone. --- Everyone who understands knows—when the macro environment is good, any framework can make money. The key is what to do in extreme market conditions. --- Once the positioning report is out, it probably means prices will go up again...
