is trading at a discount of nearly 25% from its all-time high of $109,350. Currently, Bitcoin holds a market cap of $1.61 Trillion while the crypto market is down at $2.66 Trillion.
Amid the declining trend, rising Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt (FUD) sentiments warn a major crash ahead. However, will rising liquidity in the global market favour a trend reversal for the crypto market?
Extreme Fear Grips the Crypto Market
Amid the increased liquidations, the declining trend over the past few weeks has resulted in a massive surge of fear in the crypto market. The fear and greed index in the crypto market has plunged to extreme fear at a value of 10.
This marks a sudden shift in market sentiments over the past two months.

Raoul Paul, the CEO of Real Vision, highlights an astonishing relationship between the global M2 money supply and Bitcoin price movement. As per his latest X post, the Bitcoin price movement is strongly influenced by the Global M2 line, with a lag of approximately 10 weeks.

As per the chart, Bitcoin price movement witnesses strong influence from the Global M2 supply line. With a surge in M2 supply, the Bitcoin price is likely to witness a bullish surge. However, the 10-week lag acts as a buffer phase.
The ongoing Bitcoin price fall correlates with the M2 money supply line declining from $108 trillion to nearly $104 trillion in early 2025. With the 10-week lag, the Bitcoin price correction was overdue. However, the M2 supply line has bounced back recently to nearly $107 trillion. Hence, the Bitcoin price is likely to undergo a consolidation phase similar to the M2 line before a bullish comeback.
The Global M2 Money Supply refers to the total amount of available money circulating in the global economy. This includes both liquid cash and easily accessible highly liquid financial assets. The M2 Money Supply is a key indicator of the financial content of the broader market and global liquidity.
