On-chain metrics vs. Macro — how do you weigh them?
Still getting my head around how to effectively integrate on-chain data with the broader macro picture when looking at $BTC. I see a lot of talk about both, but when they seem to diverge, like strong accumulation signals against a hawkish Fed, how do more experienced traders decide which one holds more weight in their decision-making?

That's a classic dilemma. I tend to view on-chain as a more granular, real-time sentiment indicator within the crypto ecosystem itself, while macro provides the overarching economic weather. When they diverge, I often look for the market's reaction to the macro signal first, as that typically dictates the broader trend, and then see if on-chain confirms a capitulation or accumulation in that context. What's your timeframe usually like when you're making these decisions?
