Key Takeaways<\/h2>\n

Why might Bitcoin\u2019s momentum remain limited?<\/em><\/h3>\n

Global liquidity is rising, driving capital toward safer assets like banks, while institutional investors paused BTC accumulation.<\/p>\n

What factors are supporting Bitcoin\u2019s short-term rally?<\/em><\/h3>\n

Long-term holders are accumulating BTC, while the Fed\u2019s 25 bps rate cut acts as a bullish catalyst for Bitcoin.<\/p>\n

\n

Bitcoin [BTC]<\/a> continued its rally in the past day, with the asset closing above $117,000 on the chart.<\/p>\n

Though this close coincided with rising global liquidity, it might be unfavorable for the asset. AMBCrypto paints a clear picture of what is happening.<\/p>\n

Global liquidity rises \u2014 Negative for Bitcoin<\/h2>\n

There has been a surge in global liquidity over the past day, according to from Alphractal. Ideally, this should imply that assets, including Bitcoin, should rise as more capital flows into the global market.<\/p>\n

However, the current scenario is not entirely positive for Bitcoin. A rise in global liquidity often results in stronger inflows into banks, while Bitcoin tends to drop\u2014a pattern that has persisted since 2022.<\/p>\n

At press time, bank liquidity was at $30.4 trillion, while the global money supply (M2) was at $128.1 trillion, with both continuing to rise.<\/p>\n

This suggested that capital flowing into Bitcoin, a known risk asset, could remain limited as more investors allocated funds into safer asset classes.<\/p>\n

AMBCrypto also examined how institutional investors are behaving, finding their actions in line with global liquidity trends.<\/p>\n

Institutions pause Bitcoin accumulation<\/h2>\n

Institutional investors have put their buying activity on hold, according to SosoValue<\/a>, which tracks Bitcoin spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs).<\/p>\n

After accumulating more than $2.3 billion worth of Bitcoin, these investors made a sharp turnaround in the past day, selling off $51.28 million worth of BTC.<\/p>\n

This movement aligns with the global liquidity rise, implying that traditional investors are rotating capital accordingly.<\/p>\n

During the same period, the amount of Bitcoin available on exchanges recorded a slight increase, with 2.451 million BTC now circulating in the market.<\/p>\n

When exchange balances rise, it often indicates a potential sell-off, pushing the asset\u2019s price lower as liquidity becomes more readily available.<\/p>\n

AMBCrypto took the analysis a step further, examining what factors could still be driving Bitcoin forward, and found two key indicators.<\/p>\n

Long-term holders and Fed policy boost Bitcoin<\/h2>\n

The recent rally appears linked to long-term holders\u2019 profitability and their continued accumulation without selling.<\/p>\n

At the time of the report, the SOPR Ratio had risen slightly to 1.7, a notable level that often coincides with upward price momentum.<\/p>\n

More importantly, the Federal Reserve\u2019s decision to cut interest rates by 25 bps has been a major catalyst. This move has historically been associated with more liquidity flowing into Bitcoin, boosting its price action.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
