The REAL Bull-Market Has Yet To Come: Here's Proof!In this analysis I want to talk about the M2 Global Money Supply indicator. This indicator basically shows how much money there is in circulation and how much is being printed.
The indicator itself is not that usefull since it's just going up (more money is printed over time). However, the rate at which money is printed is more interesting, hence I slapped an RSI indicator on top of it.
As seen on the chart, the RSI of the Global M2 shows that Bitcoin tops around the time that the RSI tops. It's not accurate enough for day-trading, but at least useful for to detect long-term moves.
The RSI of the Global M2 has always topped around the 70-75 points. It's currently sitting at 60.3, so there's quite some room left to grow (last time it took almost a year to go from 60 >75).
Furthermore, we can see that the "real" bull-market or Hype Phase starts once the RSI is above 65 and continues to climb.
In short, the "real" bull-market has not started yet and BTC has much more room to grow over the next 1-2 years.
Happy to hear your thoughts on this analysis.

Japan Interest Rate Hikes Often Lead Recessions
Apologies for the late release this week, I was ill yesterday and I am slowly making a recovery. This week I am keeping it brief however the chart really will speak for itself.
If you follow me on Trading view, you can revisit this chart at any time and press play to get the up to date data and see if we have hit any recessionary timeline trigger levels. They are very handy to have at a glance.
The chart illustrates the Japan central banks Interest rate history and overlays the last 7 recessions. A few key patterns and findings are evident from the chart which I will summarize below.
The Chart - ECONOMICS:JPINTR
SUBJECT CHART
◻️ 5 of the last 7 recessions were preceded directly by Japan Interest rate hikes.
- Arguably it is 6 out of 7 if you include the 1980 recession with the 1981 recession (which happened as rates were still declining from the original increase).
⌛️The average length of time from the initial hike to recession was 11.6 months.
- This would be Jan/Feb 2025 based on the initiation of Japan’s rate increases in Feb/Mar 2024. If you read my material you’ll know that the date of Jan 2025 has repeatedly arisen as a concerning date on multiple charts. This does not guarantee anything other than historical time patterns on multiple charts seem to point roughly towards Jan 2025 as a month of concern.
◻️ The minimum time frame from initial hike to recession was 8 months (Oct 2024) and the maximum time frame 18 months (Aug 2025). This can be our window of concern.
◻️ Its important to note that the rates have remained elevated or increasing for longer than the above timelines outset. In this chart we are only looking at the the first rate increase to recession initiation timeline. We are doing this establish a risk time frame. In the event rates remain elevated into month 11.6 (the average timeframe) we will know we are entering dangerous territory (Jan 2025). Likewise we could go a long as 18 months which is the maximum timeframe. This is all dependent on rates remaining elevated or increasing. A reduction in rates could deter or remove the risk timelines discussed.
What happens next is dependent on what the Japan Central bank does. History suggests when they start to increase rates its for a minimum of 6 - 8 months (Sept - Oct 2024), lets see if they pass these months and start to move towards Jan 2025 (the average time line from rate increase initiation to recession). This is a move into higher risk territory.
I want to add last week summary as a reminder that multiple other charts are lining up to suggest we may have volatility in the coming 6 months:

Recession Charts Worth Watching
What to watch for in coming weeks and months?
▫️ If both the 10 - 2 year treasury yield spread and the U.S. Unemployment Rate continue in their upwards trajectory in coming weeks and months, this is a significant risk off signal and recession imminent warning.
▫️ Since 1999 the Federal reserve interest pauses have averaged at 11 months. July 2024 is the 11th month. This suggests rate cuts are imminent.
▫️ The 2 year bond yield which provides a lead on interest rate direction is suggesting that rates are set to decline in the immediate future and that the Fed might lagging in their rate cuts. Furthermore, rate cuts are anticipated in Sept 2024 by market participant's.
▫️ Finally, rate cuts should signal significant concern as most are followed immediately by recession or followed by a recession within 2 to 6 months of the initial cut. Yet the market appears to be calling out for this. This is high risk territory. Combine this with a treasury yield curve rising above the 0 level and an increasing U.S. unemployment rate and things look increasingly concerning.
(for all of the above charts see last weeks Macro Monday).

Is Bitcoin broken? Why isn't it going up? A lot of folks are scratching their heads, wondering why Bitcoin isn't taking off like a rocket 🚀. Some even reckon it needs to take a nosedive before we see any action. But what's the deal with Bitcoin? Why does it seem like we're just going sideways? Let me break down a few things that, in my humble opinion, are affecting Bitcoin's price and what I think might go down.
**1️⃣ Miners Offloading Bitcoin**
Let's talk about mining. Miners are the backbone of the Bitcoin network. They validate transactions and keep the blockchain secure. But here's the kicker: Bitcoin's got this thing called "halving," where the rewards miners get are cut in half. In a few months, the cost of mining will double as the block reward drops from 6.25 to 3.125 BTC per block. So, miners are stocking up to cover their costs after the halving. Most of this selling happens on the down-low to avoid messing with the price, hence the sideways action.
**2️⃣ Big Picture Stuff**
Bitcoin was born in the ashes of the 2008 banking crisis, where Quantitative Easing (QE) was the name of the game, meaning cheap money galore. But now, we're in a period of Quantitative Tightening. Interest rates are sky-high, making money expensive. People are holding onto their cash, expecting a possible recession down the line. Geopolitical tensions and global shake-ups don't help either.
**3️⃣ It's All About the Cycles**
Take a look at the Bitcoin price chart, and you'll see cycles every four years. Bull run after the halving, hitting a peak, then dipping into bear territory. Rinse and repeat. BTC hasn't broken its all-time high before the next halving so far, and I don't see why it would now.
✅ So, what's the outlook, you ask?
📍 We're probably in for more sideways action, at least until we get close to the halving. Here's what's on my radar:
**1️⃣ BlackRock's ETF:** They wouldn't bother filing for an ETF if they didn't think it'd get the green light. The expected decision date is March 30th, 2024, right before the next BTC halving.
**2️⃣ Scarcity on Exchanges:** Unlike past halvings, there's hardly any BTC sitting on exchanges. This scarcity could lead to some wild price swings.
**3️⃣ The Halving:** As Satoshi said, "The price of any commodity tends to gravitate toward the production cost." After the halving, production costs double, so BTC's gotta climb to catch up. Miners will try to hold onto their BTC to turn a profit, making it even scarcer.
**4️⃣ End of QT:** When people stop spending, and the economy tanks, we'll likely see a shift from Quantitative Tightening (QT) back to Quantitative Easing (QE). That's a good sign for BTC and investment in general.
❓ When's all this gonna happen? My gut says not much until the second half of 2024, but if those four factors line up nicely, we might get a Bitcoin rally reminiscent of 2017, rolling into 2025. 🚀

Modeling a shift in SRAS and AD over the past year, I think. I used the U.S PCE YoY as the base, I then overlaid the M1 YoY and Real GDP YoY. I used the beginning of this years as a reference point as that is roughly when the fed began increasing interest rates.
As the price level declines demonstrated by a decline in the money supply and PCE YoY declining
Real GDP YoY is seen increasing
To my understanding this visualizes how SRAS and AD have shifted to the left over the past year
S&P500 Vulnerabilities: from Money Supply to Sectoral ImbalancesAs much as we try not to repeat ideas here, occasionally, an opportunity emerges to harp on the same point.
As we have previously laid out the bear case for the S&P 500 from a historical volatility behavior perspective, this week we will zoom in on other metrics showing why we think the S&P may struggle from here.
The first and most interesting measure, in our opinion, is the S&P 500 when adjusted by the money supply. Once again it appears to have peaked and is on the path of reversal now. The S&P500 / Money Supply has reached these levels not once, not twice but thrice, stopping at the same level before reversing. More importantly, overall, we see the S&P 500 clearly climbing up in line with the level of money supply.
Money supply has been on a decreasing trend since the start of the Federal Reserve hikes. While the downtrend has been paused momentarily with money supply slightly increasing in early 2023 it now seems to have resumed the downward path. This could spell bad news for equities given that the S&P has broadly followed money supply and the clear resistance observed on the S&P 500 / Money Supply chart.
As yields creep higher, investors will eventually second guess whether it still makes sense to put more into the equities when cash now yields more. The 6-month treasury yield is now higher than the S&P 500 earnings yield, a phenomenon not experienced since the turn of the millennium. A federal reserve resolute in keeping rates higher for longer might just be the kicker for investors to turn to these shorter dated treasuries while waiting out equity volatility.
With a series of better-than-expected economic data, the Federal Reserve once again gains greater headroom to maintain its higher for longer stance, which is causing discomfort in the equities market. All eyes will be on the Non-Farm Payrolls numbers coming out tomorrow for further confirmation if the US economy can indeed take this regime of higher rates.
Within the S&P 500, the Technology sector remains the significant outperformer compared to other sectors like Financial, Consumer Staples and Energy. With the Technology Sector / Financial Sector ratio extending far beyond the trend from 2017.
The combination of money supply metrics, yield comparisons, and sectoral imbalances, among other factors, makes a compelling case for a bearish outlook on the S&P 500. For investors seeking targeted strategies, CME E-MINI Select Sector Futures offers a refined approach, allowing for an overall bearish view on the S&P 500 while building positions in certain sectors through a relative value strategy. To express the bearish view on the technology sector relative to the financial sector, we can take a short position on the E-MINI Technology Select Sector Futures and a long position on the E-MINI Financial Select Sector Futures. Given the contract size differences, to roughly match the notional, we will need 3 E-MINI Financial Select Sector Futures at the current level of 405 to match 2 E-MINI Technology Select Sector Futures.
3 x E-MINI Financial Select Sector Futures Notional = 3 * 405 * 250 USD = $303,750
2 x E-MINI Technology Select Sector Futures Notional = 2 * 1678 * 100 USD = $335,600
Each 0.1 index point move in the E-MINI Technology Select Sector Futures is $10, while each 0.05 index point move in the E-MINI Financial Select Sector Futures is $12.5.

S&P500 = PRICING IN THE MONEY SUPPLYIn today's chart, we look at the S&P500 divided by the WM2NS (money supply).
The upward trend of the S&P500 has been unstoppable since 2009 and has climbed to new heights since 2013.
> However, as soon as you divide the chart with the "MONEY QUANTITY", the unadulterated chart = the reluctant truth is revealed.
= Regardless of the rising price of the index, it has not changed in real value / hardly noticeable.
= The "stock rally" was accordingly only the pricing in of the rising money supply.
We have been in a sideways channel for about 30 years:
= this was broken by the "DOT COM BUBBLE" and the "FINANCIAL CRISIS".
= in the chart, you can clearly see that the channel serves as support and resistance.
Currently, we are on the way to the bottom of the channel = another 18% - Downside.
> at this bottom, there is a high probability that we will run again to the other side of the range = 64 % - upside.
Looking at the 18% - downside in the S&P500, we would end up at around 3,000 points.
> The 3,000 mark not only goes over one with Fibonacci and POI levels, but also represents a strong DEMAND zone on the monthly chart.
> Based on this, we can expect a reaction in this area on a further down-sale.
Looking at the range, a scenario of further down-sale is more than likely and goes along with the opinion of many.
If this idea and explanation has added value to you, I would greatly appreciate a review of the idea.
Thank you and a successful trading!
🔥 Bitcoin vs Money Supply: Massive Move On The Horizon?M1 Money Supply (M1SL): "M1 is the money supply that is composed of currency, demand deposits, other liquid deposits—which includes savings deposits. M1 includes the most liquid portions of the money supply because it contains currency and assets that either are or can be quickly converted to cash." - Investopedia
The M1SL amount is important since it tracks the amount of money in an economy that is able to be deployed quickly into the economy. If people have more to spend, they will generally spend more as a result of this.
When we take a look at the $ value of BTC divided by M1SL, the chart has been trading relatively flat since December of 2017. This means that Bitcoin has not gained substantially against the central banks' money printers.
On the other hand, it appears that BTC/M1 has been forming an inverse Head & Shoulders pattern over the last 5.5 years. Assuming this pattern will play out, BTC will continue to gain against M1 and break out of this 5.5 year consolidation pattern. Assuming that M1 will continue to increase (like it always does), this would mean that BTC will see another 2016-2017 scenario in the future where it will see exponential returns and potentially even do a 100x over the next few years.
This scenario is not the most likely scenario to play out, but it's definitely an interesting one. Hope to hear your thoughts in the comments 🙏
M2 Money Supply versus Global Net LiquidityM2 is getting a lot of attention, but is it really driving markets? M2 is the Federal Reserve's estimate of the total money supply including all cash hand, money deposited in checking accounts, savings accounts, and other short term savings. The rate of change for M2 over the past 3 years has been the steepest incline and decline in the M2 rate of change in history. However, global net liquidity, which is driven by fractional reserve banking and credit expansion from cycling credit between central banks and the private sector, as far greater impact on markets and is more strongly correlated than M2.
In the fall of 2021 the Federal Reserve announced the end of quantitative and monetary easing, marking the top of the market for risk assets. Other central banks followed suit and interest rates increases and liquidity tightening started in the beginning of 2022. This contraction is highlighted in the red box in the center of the chart. The white line in the center marks the liquidity bottom that we observed in the fall of 2022 which also marks the bottom for risk assets. The green box highlights the expansion in liquidity that begins immediately after with a correlated and coincident rise in risk assets. Note that M2 has continued to contract and interest rates hikes have continued during this time.
Michael Howell regularly tweets timely and insightful updates on global liquidity. I highly recommend following him @crossbordercap twitter.com Thank you to Codi0 and to dharmatech for their work on the liquidity indicators. These are fantastic editions to macroeconomic and monetary analysis.
Things are looking very ugly, day by dayRate hike will continue as Jerome has no way out now. 50 basis points is my projection. Experts cannot see any concrete signs that economy is under control, in which they are right.
Wall St banker's narrative are switching from soft landing, to crash landing.
US money supply has shrinked while yield curve remain heavily inverted. Uh ohh.
Congress voted to end emergency allotment. This means millions of Americans will lose $3 Billion a month food stamp benefits.
Debt levels across all segments & categories are at record high.
Layoffs are still on-going and is not stopping.
Stay liquid and conserve ammunition. The bottom is not in yet.

Crypto Market Cap - The Cycle TrendBeing on the same channel, hypothetically, the Crypto Market Cap might lose more than 50% with the ongoing recession in the next 2 quarters to have 400-700 Billion in the market cap before the market starts flourishing again in mid-late 2023 ahead of the new cycle of 2024.
Exploring the correlation between bitcoin, S&P500, M0 Supply.There seems to have been a general correlation between the three for the past 2 years. My take is that when there is more money in circulation, the money becomes less valuable, but the value of bitcoins more or less stays the same. Therefore, the amount of money you need to buy bitcoin will rise to compensate and balance it out, and the same thing seems to be happening with the S&P500. So, if you can predict one of them (for example, if interest rates go up, M0 will go down), then you can predict the general trend for the other two.
Once again, this is just my take, and I'm wondering what you think about this.
Russell 2000 / M2 Money Supply: Discounted to 500 MVA & @support"Russell 2000 / M2 Money Supply" ratio
1) It moves in a horizental trend in the long-term.
2) %20 discounted compared to 500 days MVA.
3) Nearly touched a major long-term horizental support.
Of course it can also move more downwards if the crisis/war deepens but we can say that the probability of upwards move is more likely.
First target: 0.095-0.100
BTC / M1+M2 Money Supply - Observation #BTCUSDM1M2 #MoneySupply An observational study on Bitcoins price versus the overall money supply paints an interesting picture.
Are we now the most oversold on a relative basis to the money supply?

I strongly believe one thing for sure which is obvious; there are so many dollars printed...
BTC over M2 Money SupplyBTC / M2 Money Supply Chart
Levels are a lot more respected on this chart pair.
Once again people are getting the opportunity to get $BTC under $20k. I am a BUYER at these levels.
Interestingly at the 300 WMA on the chart for the 3rd time in history. This level has held for eternity.
