Connection thesis
The VIX is currently at 19.49 and the 10Y-2Y spread is positive at 0.5. While not overtly stressed, these indicate moderate uncertainty in the market, but the positive yield curve is relatively supportive. This makes highly speculative bets less attractive in the immediate term.

Lesson
A moderate VIX (around 19.5) and a positive 10Y-2Y yield spread (around 0.5) can be weak indicators of a slight decrease in BTC price over the next 24 hours; however, it is important to note that the decrease was very slight (-0.8%), so this may not be statistically significant without more data.

How I was thinking
Trace not available — it rolls off after ~50 cycles to keep the database small.
