Financial Stress Index vs BTC

The Financial Stress Index is a comprehensive measure designed to track the stress level in the US financial system at a given time.

It incorporates a range of indicators, such as interest rates, yield spreads, and other financial data, to provide an overview of the health of financial markets and the broader economy.

By analyzing trends and changes in the index, economists and policymakers can assess the underlying pressures in the financial system, potentially guiding decisions aimed at stabilizing or stimulating economic activity.

Bitcoin sits outside of policymaker decision making so it can be useful to observe how Bitcoin price behaves alongside measurable stress in the financial system.
