Markets don't move on one number. They move on a theme — a dominant story about growth, inflation and liquidity that ties everything together. That theme is what we call a regime.
In a tightening regime, rising real yields and a strong dollar pull money out of risk assets. In an easing / liquidity regime, falling real yields and a weaker dollar do the opposite. In stagflation, inflation rises while growth slows — historically the worst backdrop for risk.
Why it matters for crypto: crypto is a high-beta risk asset. It rarely fights the macro tide for long. Knowing the regime tells you whether the wind is at your back or in your face — and which signals to weight more heavily.
That's the core idea behind Macro Intelligence: detect the regime first, then weight the signals for it.
