After reaching historic maximums in mid-August, Bitcoin (BTC) entered the left-right stage, with the remaining cryptocurrencies responding to the movement.
This behavior is explained by two main factors: Liquidity shrinkage and profits from outstanding holder investors.
As you can see in the following graph, Bitcoin prices show a decline in terms of global financial liquidity (M2).
A turning point occurs between BTC and global M2 When the US government began to accumulate resources in a accelerated manner through the Treasury Department.
“From July to August, it went from USD 296,000 to $519,000 million a month,” influencer Manuel said. It produces contractile effects that have become affecting Bitcoin.
Simply put, in theory there was more money in the economy, but that money didn’t reach Bitcoin. Instead, the US government controlled it.
As seen in the next graph of the Macromicroportal, the general treasure account known as the US Treasury’s “Current Stories” showed a significant acceleration in dollar accumulation since mid-July, represented by an increase of 124% over the month.
Whale whale
Another factor that prevents BTC from rising more strongly is that markets are facing dynamically marked by the acquisition of profits that slows down the uprising of digital currency.
As Cryptootics reports, professional trader Willy Woo attributes part of the slowdown to So-Cloced’s “OG Whale,” a wallet that has acquired coins at a price of less than 1,000 BTC and in the first few years of the protocol.
According to their analysis, after a long period of accumulation, those wallets began selling. According to Wu, each Bitcoin that settles requires more than $110,000 in new capital revenue to absorb it without the price dropping. That pressure adds to the decline in fluidity and contributes to the set-off.
On-chain data checks this dynamic. By the end of July, profits were between $6,000 and $8,000 million were acquired, according to the Cryptoquant Data Provider. This was the third wave of liquidation of this upward cycle, led by a new whale that was sold when BTC prices exceeded $120,000.
The current situation is also linked to the natural cycle of the market that comes from strong increases. After a long-term escalationprices stagnate in the range, and record-breaking corrections are common.. Take this opportunity, this process coincides with large-scale holder liquidity and large-scale sales adjustments, and strengthens the suspension.
Suspension Market
As a result, panorama shows the market at a pause rather than a structural setback. Teron Godoy argues that “there is a slight contraction in liquidity does not mean that it is not liquidity.” “We have a lot of emissions and it has a hyperliquid market. Today, the US has the dollar.
Two variables will become critical in the future. The size of the US Treasury liquidity absorption policy and the actions of large owners of Bitcoin. As treasure reduces the rhythm of accumulation, some of the capital will return to the market. And if the whales slow sales, the price could resume impulses. On the other hand, if both factors are maintained, left-right can expand.
in short, Bitcoin and cryptocurrency face a mix of technical and fundamental factors explaining the brakes of donations. The market did not lose its general liquidity, but some of the capital was frozen on official accounts. At the same time, profits indicate that the background trend remains bullish, but the short term is marked by pauses and revisions.
So the key lies in the balance of monetary issuance, economic policy making, and whales’ actions that continue to control a significant portion of their offers.
