When taking the long view on crypto markets, don't get too caught up in the things like regulatory moves or on-chain activity. The macro picture is really the thing you should be looking at, argues Tgroth8

To demonstrate the efficacy of macro signals in navigating digital asset markets, I constructed a composite basket of macro indicators. I began by selecting some typical macro market rates, specifically front-end interest rates, inflation-adjusted interest rates , U.S. dollar exchange rate baskets, and U.S. corporate credit spreads. It’s worth mentioning that these rates are typically used within broader indices that are widely watched.

With a newly constructed macro indicator data series in hand, I conducted a hypothetical backtest to assess the usefulness of a macro signal in dynamically allocating to cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin was chosen as a proxy for crypto assets due to its status as the oldest and consistently largest token in the market by market cap, and I used theI combined the macro signal with a 50% allocation to bitcoin to create a long-only dynamic strategy, with the Bitcoin weight varying from 0 to 100%.

Over the five years of the hypothetical backtest period, it’s clear that keeping an eye on macroeconomic conditions can help reduce risk and improve risk-adjusted performance versus a buy-and-hold bitcoin approach.
