How to read the pulse

✓Strong indices + softer gold + stable yields: more risk-on context.
✓Weak indices + strong gold + stressed oil/yields: more defensive context.
✓If the dollar rises sharply, be careful with USD-sensitive assets.
✓The pulse gives context, not a buy or sell signal.

Educational indicator: always verify prices, spreads, hours and macro events before making any decision.

Use with

Open market dashboard → Check macro calendar → View Forex sessions → Read the VIX page →

Volatility check

The score is more useful when cross-checked with VIX: positive equities with rising volatility still call for caution on size, stops and gaps.
