📊 Bitcoin and the Liquidity Trap: What does the Fed have to do with your portfolio?
Many investors advocate for Bitcoin as an asset completely isolated from the traditional financial system. However, the data from 2026 shows us a more pragmatic reality: Bitcoin is, today, the largest global liquidity thermometer.
Recently, analyses by Matt King (Satori Insights) reinforced a correlation that we cannot ignore: the price of $BTC tends to mirror the expansion or contraction of the Federal Reserve's balance sheet.
Why does this matter now?
Liquidity precedes the narrative: When the Fed expands reserves, capital seeks high momentum and volatility assets. Bitcoin disproportionately benefits here.
The risk of the "Sawtooth": In scenarios where liquidity stagnates, sharp and asymmetric corrections become common. Without the "tailwind" of the central bank, FOMO gives way to reality.
Conviction vs. Momentum: If the era of easy money pauses, we will see a clear separation between long-term investors and those who are just riding the cheap liquidity wave.
Conclusion: Thinking that Bitcoin can rise sustainably while the monetary tide recedes is dangerous optimism. Liquidity does not ask for permission to change market direction.
Is the market prepared to operate $BTC in a scarce liquidity environment, or do we still rely on the backing of central banks?
