Deep dives

The Sensitivity of Bitcoin to Global Liquidity

Bitcoin's sensitivity to global liquidity conditions is a key focus. Unlike assets such as equities and gold, which are influenced by earnings, dividends, and specific economic events, Bitcoin operates as a purely correlated asset closely tied to liquidity. With a fixed supply and global reach, Bitcoin reacts more dramatically to shifts in liquidity, as it lacks the structural supports that other asset classes may have. This correlation is reflected in data which indicates that Bitcoin serves as a gauge for liquidity flows in the financial system.
