# Macro Rates & Regime Signals for Crypto

> Macro Rates & Regime Signals for Crypto is a paid API for AI agents from crypto-asistent.com, paid per call via x402, $0.04/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-13).

Returns key macroeconomic indicators as directional signals — yield curve spread (2s10s), Fed funds rate, 2Y/10Y yields, CPI YoY, DXY, VIX, and M2 — each with its prior reading so trend direction is immediately available.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability macro-rates-regime-signals-for-crypto-e8a00914 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Pull the current macro regime signals — yield curve spread with inversion status, Fed funds rate, 2Y and 10Y yields, CPI year-over-year, the dollar index, VIX, and M2 — all with their previous readings so I can see which direction each is moving.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a pre-packaged macro regime snapshot for crypto decision-making — it bundles the yield curve slope, Fed policy signals, inflation, dollar strength, volatility, and liquidity (M2) in a single call with built-in directional context. Prefer it over assembling raw yields from separate financial data APIs when you want crypto-relevant macro framing without normalization work. It is especially valuable for risk-on/risk-off regime detection prior to sizing crypto positions.

## Known failure modes

- Data source unavailable — upstream market data feed may be down or delayed
- Stale data — readings may not reflect intraday moves for slow-updating series like M2 or CPI
- Empty or malformed POST body causes 400-level error if schema validation is strict
- Payment failure via x402 protocol results in 402 response and no data returned
- Rate limiting if called too frequently within a short window

## How this service works

The macro regime that drives crypto, as signals rather than raw levels: the 2s10s yield curve spread with its direction and an inverted flag, Fed funds, 2Y and 10Y yields, CPI year-over-year, the broad dollar index, VIX and M2 — each with its previous reading, so direction comes free. The slope of the curve, not the level of any single yield, is the liquidity signal: re-steepening out of inversion marks the easing that risk assets price first.

## Output

A structured set of macroeconomic indicators presented as directional signals rather than raw isolated levels: the 2s10s yield curve spread with an inversion flag and direction, Fed funds rate, 2-year and 10-year Treasury yields, CPI year-over-year, the broad dollar index (DXY), VIX, and M2 — each accompanied by its previous reading so the agent can immediately derive whether conditions are tightening or easing.
