Much like a central banker, a macro trader relies on price signals to judge how the market is positioned based on a variety of economic conditions. Over time, financial markets will either adapt to macro-economic cycles, or, at times, anticipate a regime shift--a persistent change in the structure of the global economic system.

​As such, technical analysis can assist macro traders in studying market activity such as price movement and volume. On the portfolio level, these market signals can help traders manage financial risk by identifying timely macro themes across asset classes.
