What are macro market signals?
Macro signals are quantitative indicators that reflect the global market regime: risk-on or risk-off, fear or greed, growth or recession. Professional traders and hedge funds watch VIX, DXY, credit spreads and Treasury yields to read the direction before it shows up in ordinary news.
GlobalPrediktor aggregates 15 key signals, runs them through a market-regime algorithm and produces a single verdict: what is happening now. Bloomberg Terminal does the same — for ~$2,700 a month. Here it is free.

Frequently asked questions
What is the VIX and how is it used in trading?▾
The VIX (CBOE Volatility Index) measures the 30-day implied volatility of the S&P 500. Readings above 30 signal extreme fear and have often coincided with market lows; readings below 15 signal complacency and a higher risk of a correction. Macro traders use it to decide when to move into defensive positions — and when to buy into panic.
What is the DXY index and why does it matter?▾
The DXY (US Dollar Index) tracks the dollar against a basket of six currencies: euro 57.6%, Japanese yen 13.6%, British pound 11.9%, Canadian dollar 9.1%, Swedish krona 4.2%, Swiss franc 3.6%. A rising DXY means a stronger dollar and pressure on emerging markets, gold, oil and Bitcoin; a falling DXY usually supports risk assets.
Can I get live market signals for free?▾
Yes. GlobalPrediktor is completely free: live signals on VIX, DXY, the S&P 500, gold, BTC and more, plus alerts, predictions with a measured track record and an API — no credit card or subscription. The project runs on voluntary donations.
How is GlobalPrediktor different from a Bloomberg Terminal?▾
A Bloomberg Terminal is a professional system that costs ~$2,700 a month and is built for institutional investors. GlobalPrediktor offers the key macro signals, algorithmic market-regime analysis and a plain-language read on any stock or coin for free. It does not replace Bloomberg for institutional work, but it covers the everyday needs of private investors and active traders.
What is a market regime?▾
A market regime classifies the current state of the market: risk-on (growth, greed), risk-off (declines, fear), stagflation (rising inflation with slowing growth) or crisis. GlobalPrediktor determines the regime automatically from the VIX, DXY, the S&P 500, gold and the 10-year Treasury yield.
