Analysts are keenly watching money supply expansion as a key indicator for Bitcoin and crypto markets, with the notion that when central banks print more money, it eventually flows into high-risk assets such as crypto. Bitcoin markets are lining up with the 100-day offset of the M2 money supply , observed crypto YouTuber Lark Davis on Monday. He predicted a “parabolic move” that could propel the asset to $250,000 over the next few months. However, BTC is actually lagging behind the M2 supply growth at the moment, as it usually does on longer time frames. Global M2 is hitting new ATHs.

The US money supply is “re-surging,” observed Global Markets Investor on Tuesday. They noted that the M2 money supply in America jumped 4.5% year-over-year in May to a record $21.94 trillion.

Moreover, global money supply is at a record high of $93.7 trillion and growing 7.45% annually. This global figure combines the four major central banks: the Federal Reserve (Fed), the European Central Bank (ECB), the Bank of Japan (BOJ), and the People’s Bank of China (PBOC). “As global money supply expands, Bitcoin’s next target sits around $170,000, following the flow,” said analyst Crypto Auris last week. Analysts had predicted a strong week for Bitcoin if the outcome of Trump’s tariff deadline was positive. However, the US president has issued letters to countries primarily in Asia that had yet to make a deal, including Japan, Korea, Thailand, and Indonesia, causing crypto markets to retreat on Tuesday. Debunking the Correlation Theory On July 7, Protos debunked the correlation between M2 money and Bitcoin prices, stating that the relationship falls apart when you simply change the time frame on the charts. When zoomed from 2021 to the present, the correlation looks strong; however, when zoomed from 2019 to the present, M2 rises two years before Bitcoin. M2 even hit new highs in November 2022, while Bitcoin crashed during the FTX collapse. Total money supply doesn’t measure liquidity available for Bitcoin purchases and correlates with the price of everything since it’s the denominator in all prices, they stated. BITCOIN-M2 CORRELATION DEBUNKED Technical analysts are convinced $BTC strongly correlates with M2 money supply. Charts look compelling until you change one simple setting: the zoom.
