Bitcoin confirms its alignment with the global money supply

55
In the TradingView columns dated April 14 and April 22, we offered two analyses of the bitcoin price with a bullish anticipation. Since then, the market has moved in an upward direction, and our technical and fundamental views seem to have been confirmed.
I therefore invite you to take the time to reread our two previous analyses of the bitcoin price, which are attached to this new article. Our market view is updated in this new analysis.
Positive correlation between global money supply (M2) and BTC




BTC has thus confirmed its alignment with the evolution of global money supply (M2 global liquidity)

The study of bitcoin's price history over the last 15 years has highlighted a very interesting positive correlation. This positive correlation links the trend in global money supply to the underlying trend in the bitcoin price.
The BTC market is indeed volatile and speculative, and its price orientation is therefore strongly influenced by the amount of liquidity in circulation worldwide. It is the M2 monetary aggregate that best represents the liquidity present in a country at a given time, and it is therefore the sum of the M2s of the world's major economies that constitutes the global money supply.
The table below provides an overview of how the global money supply or global liquidity is calculated.

The bitcoin price is breaking through resistance, confirming its positive correlation with global liquidity, taking into account a time lag of around 80 days


The bitcoin price has risen by over 12% since the beginning of April, and this week saw an important technical signal. BTC made a bullish technical break of resistance at 88,000 US dollars, the former lower end of the trading range that extended from December to February.
Breaching this technical threshold is a promising first signal that bitcoin's upward recovery is set to continue. Naturally, we need to remain cautious, and confirmation at the next weekly technical close will validate this market price rebound.
In any case, and as the chart below shows, Bitcoin still seems to be acting in correlation with the global liquidity trend, and if this correlation continues to exist, then the second half of spring could see the price of BTC rise towards its all-time high.
This market view would be invalidated should the new technical support at 88,000 US dollars be broken.
