🌊 Global Liquidity vs Bitcoin
Does Bitcoin's price track the expansion and contraction of central bank liquidity worldwide?
What is "Global Liquidity"?
🇺🇸 (Fed − TGA − Reverse Repo) + 🇪🇺 ECB + 🇯🇵 BOJ + 🇬🇧 BOE + 🇨🇳 PBOC (all converted to USD)
The Fed's contribution is NET of TGA (Treasury's checking account at the Fed) and reverse repo (cash parked overnight at the Fed) — both are dollars that left the banking system and aren't available to markets, so counting them would overstate liquidity. The other 4 banks are used gross (no equivalent free data exists for them). When central banks print money / buy bonds ("quantitative easing"), this number rises. When they shrink their balance sheets ("quantitative tightening"), it falls. The idea: more global liquidity → more cash available to flow into risk assets like stocks and Bitcoin.
