Margin longs on Bitfinex surged to their highest level since November 2024, adding 13,787 BTC over 17 days. Currently standing at $5.7 billion, this bullish leveraged positioning signals confidence in Bitcoin\u2019s upside potential despite recent price weakness.<\/p>\n Bitcoin\/USD (orange, left) vs. Bitfinex BTC margin longs (right). Source: TradingView \/ Cointelegraph<\/em><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n Some analysts argue that Bitcoin\u2019s price is closely linked to the global monetary base, meaning it tends to rise as central banks inject liquidity.<\/p>\n With\u00a0recession risks\u00a0mounting, the likelihood of expansionary monetary policies increasing the money supply grows. If this correlation holds, Bitfinex whales could be well-positioned to capitalize on a rally above $105,000 in the next two months.<\/p>\n Source:\u00a0<\/em>pakpakchicken<\/em><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n For instance, X user Pakpakchicken claims to have identified an 82% correlation between the global money supply (M2) and Bitcoin\u2019s price.<\/p>\n When central banks drain liquidity by raising interest rates or reducing bond holdings, traders become more risk-averse, leading to weaker demand for Bitcoin. Conversely, periods of monetary easing tend to fuel greater investor interest in the asset, increasing its price potential.<\/p>\n Bitfinex whales go long BTC as M2 bottoms<\/strong><\/p>\n In early September 2024, Bitfinex margin traders added 7,840 BTC in long positions, coinciding with a period of bearish momentum as Bitcoin struggled to reclaim the $50,000 level for over three months.<\/p>\n Despite the downturn, Bitfinex whales held their positions, and Bitcoin\u2019s price surged past $75,000 less than two months later. Notably, the global M2 money supply bottomed out around the same time these traders increased their Bitcoin exposure, further reinforcing the correlation.<\/p>\n It may be impossible to establish a direct cause-and-effect relationship between money supply and investors\u2019 willingness to accumulate Bitcoin, especially given the influence of major events during these periods.<\/p>\n For example, Donald Trump\u2019s election as US president in November 2024 significantly fueled Bitcoin\u2019s rally due to the new administration\u2019s pro-crypto stance, regardless of global M2 trends and liquidity conditions.<\/p>\n Spot Bitcoin ETF net flows, USD.

However, these same factors gradually push governments toward economic stimulus measures and expand the M2 money supply.<\/p>\n If this trend continues, it should ultimately create conditions for Bitcoin’s price to meet Pakpakchicken\u2019s $105,000 prediction by May 2025 and possibly go even higher.<\/p>\n *********************************<\/p>\n If one of the paying programs on our Monitor appeals to you, please support EmilyNews<\/em> by registering for it on our website.
