Macrobating 

macrobating
/ˈmæk.rəʊˌbeɪ.tɪŋ/, adjective

Characterized by an exclusive reliance on macroeconomic factors while disregarding technical analysis and market narrative, often resulting in a skewed interpretation of market dynamics.

Describing an investor or analyst who, in their decision-making, prioritizes broad economic indicators over short-term technical signals and qualitative market trends.

The act of focusing exclusively on macroeconomic factors while ignoring the technical or narrative elements that drive the market. It is a blend of "macro" (referring to macroeconomics) and "debating" (or "masturbating" as a play on self-indulgence), implying an obsession with broad economic indicators at the expense of other important factors.
"During the trading meeting, while everyone else was dissecting charts, Tom was off macrobating about GDP and inflation so intensely that he completely missed the bounce on the monthly pivot point."
