@jayfroneman: Most traders stare at the chart. Professionals ask what is moving it. Candlesticks are the visible result. Underneath them sit growth, inflation, interest rates, liquidity, credit, positioning and valuation. That is why this video is valuable. PMI, CPI, yields, DXY, credit spreads and volatility are not magic buy or sell signals. They are starting points for understanding the market regime behind the price. Use macro to understand the thesis. Use technicals to structure the trade, execution and risk. The chart shows you what price is doing. Macro helps you understand why.
