HOW TO READ A MACRO SHOCK WITHOUT GUESSING THE PRICE
A common mistake is to see economic data and immediately ask:
“Is BTC going up or down?”
A better framework is to follow the transmission chain.
1️⃣ START WITH THE DATA
Jobs, inflation, wages and GDP influence expectations for monetary policy.
2️⃣ FOLLOW THE CHAIN
Economic data → Fed expectations → Treasury yields → liquidity → risk appetite → crypto
That's why a jobs report can move Bitcoin even though the report isn't about Bitcoin.
3️⃣ WATCH THE MARKET'S REACTION
The important question isn't simply:
“Was the number good or bad?”
It's:
“Was it different from what investors expected?”
Yesterday's stronger-than-expected employment data increased expectations for a September rate hike and pushed Treasury yields higher.
