For most of this cycle, global liquidity is one of the most accurate indicators for predicting Bitcoin price action. The relationship between expanding money supply and growing risk assets is well established, and Bitcoin follows its script very closely. But recently we have been paying close attention to a few other data points that are statistically even more accurate when predicting where Bitcoin is heading next. Together, these metrics help to draw more clearly whether the recent stagnation in Bitcoin represents a short-term pause or the beginning of a long integration phase.

Bitcoin price trends driven by a global liquidity shift

Relationships between Global liquidity, especially M2 money supply, and Bitcoin prices It’s hard to ignore. As liquidity increases, Bitcoin tends to gather. Bitcoin will have a hard time with contracts.

Figure 1: Expansion and contraction of global liquidity had a major impact on Bitcoin price action. View live charts

The correlation measured for this current cycle is an impressive 88.44%. Adding a 70-day offset will result in a higher correlation of 91.23%. This means that changes in liquidity often precedes the movement of Bitcoin. The framework has proven to be extremely accurate in capturing a wide range of trends, with cycle dips lined up to tightening global liquidity and subsequent recovery reflecting updated expansions.

Figure 2: Adding a 10-week offset to globality fluidity will further strengthen the correlation to BTC over the current cycle.

Still, there has been a noticeable divergence recently. Liquidity continues to rise, sending signals of support for the rise in Bitcoin prices, but Bitcoin itself has stagnated after creating a record high. This difference is worth monitoring, but it does not override the broader relationship. In fact, it may suggest that Bitcoin simply lags behind liquidity conditions, as it did at other points in the cycle.

Stablecoin Supply Signaling Bitcoin Market Surge

While global liquidity reflects the broader macro environment, Stablecoin Supply offers a more direct view of capital ready to enter digital assets. When USDT, USDC and other stub coins are minted in large quantities, this represents “dry powder” waiting to spin into Bitcoin, and ultimately represents a more speculative altcoin. Surprisingly, the correlation here is even stronger than M2 at 95.24% without offset. All major inflows of Stablecoin liquidity preceded or accompanied by the surge in Bitcoin prices.

Figure 3: Stablecoin supply spikes have historically preceded the rise in Bitcoin prices.

What makes this metric powerful is its peculiarity. Unlike global liquidity covering the entire financial system, Stablecoin’s growth comes from a cryptographic origin. This represents the direct potential demand within this market. But again, we see divergence. Stablecoin Supply is expanding aggressively, creating new highs and Bitcoin is integrated. Historically, this divergence does not last long. This is because this capital will eventually flow into risk assets in search of returns. Whether this is an imminent inverted or suggests slow rotation is still unknown, but the strength of the correlation becomes one of the most important metrics to track in the short to medium term.

Bitcoin prediction power of gold’s high correlation delays

At first glance, Bitcoin and Gold do not share a consistently strong correlation. Their relationships are choppy, sometimes they move together, sometimes they branch out. However, applying the same 10-week delay will give you a clearer image when applied to global liquidity data. Over this cycle, gold with a 70-day offset shows a 92.42% correlation with Bitcoin, which is higher than the global M2 itself.

Figure 4: Applying a 10-week offset to the gold market will further increase the correlation with Bitcoin.

The alignment is impressive. Both assets have bottomed out at about the same time, but their major gatherings and integration have since followed a similar trajectory. Recently, gold has been trapped in a long-term integration phase, and Bitcoin appears to reflect this in its own choppy behavior. If this correlation holds, Bitcoin could remain bound to range until at least mid-November, reflecting stagnant behavior in gold. But now Gold is technically strong and ready to go for the highest ever high, so once the “digital gold” story is reasserted, Bitcoin could soon follow.

Figure 5: Is Gold trying to break through the resistance zone and reach a new history high?

Bitcoin’s next move is predicted by key market metrics

To sum up, these three metrics, global liquidity, Stablecoin Supply, and Gold, provide a powerful framework for predicting the next move in Bitcoin. Global M2 remains a reliable macro anchor, especially with a delay of 10 weeks. Stablecoin’s growth provides the clearest and most direct signal of incoming crypto demand, suggesting that its accelerated expansion will increase pressure on higher prices. Meanwhile, Gold’s delay correlation refers to the period of integration before potential breakouts in the coming weeks, providing a surprising but valuable predictive lens.

In the short term, this confluence of signals suggests that Bitcoin continues to sculpt sideways, reflecting gold stagnation as liquidity increases in the background. However, if gold breaks into new highs and Stablecoin continues to be issued at its current pace, Bitcoin could be set up for a strong year-end gathering. For now, perseverance is important, but the data suggests that conditions based on Bitcoin’s long-term trajectory are preferred.

Bitcoin in 2009 is awakening. Is a 30mm movement a warning sign? https://earlybirdsinvest.com/bitcoin-in-2009-is-awakening-is-a-30mm-movement-a-warning-sign/ https://earlybirdsinvest.com/bitcoin-in-2009-is-awakening-is-a-30mm-movement-a-warning-sign/#respond Sat, 02 Aug 2025 20:37:15 +0000 https://earlybirdsinvest.com/bitcoin-in-2009-is-awakening-is-a-30mm-movement-a-warning-sign/ They say that journalists never really kick out time. But for Christians, it’s not just a minor phor, it’s a lifestyle. Every day, he navigates the ever-changing tide of the cryptocurrency market, waving around words like a veteran editor, and writing articles deciphering jargon for the masses. However, when the PC goes into Hibernate mode, his pursuit gets a more mechanical (and sometimes philosophical) turn.

Christian journeys in written words began long before the Bitcoin era. In the sacred halls of academia, he hone his craft as a feature writer for university papers. This early love of storytelling paved the way for a successful stint as an editor at a data engineering company. His first month’s essay victory, a testament to his dedication to his furry companions, the victory of his first month’s essay funded the supply of treats for dogs and kittens (more on that);

Christian then roamed the world of journalism, working for Canadian and Korean newspapers. He eventually settled on the local news giant in his hometown of the Philippines for a decade and became a complete news addict. But then something new caught his eye: cryptocurrency. It was like a treasure hunt mixed with storytelling – just above his alley!

So he landed a killer gig at NewsBTC. There, he is one of the go-to people of everything in code. He breaks this confusing thing down into bite-sized pieces, making it easier for anyone to understand (he pays tribute to his management team to teach him this skill).

Do you think all Christians don’t have work and play? It’s not a chance! When he’s not at his computer, you’ll find him pampering his passion for the bike. A true gearhead, Christian loves to tinker with his bike and enjoy the joys of the road opened with the 320-cc Yamaha R3. Once a Speed Demon hit 120 mph (a feat that he swore not to repeat), he prefers to ride slowly along the coast, thinning his hair and enjoying the wind.

Speaking of cold, Christian has a crew of furry friends waiting for him at home. Two cats and a dog. He swears that cats are far smarter than dogs (sorry, grizzly), but he adores them all anyway. Apparently, seeing his pet just cold helps him write meticulously formatted articles even better.

This is what this guy means. He works a lot, but he’s fueled enough coffee to make it all day – and some seriously delicious (Filipino) food. He says tasty meals are the secret ingredient in killer articles. And after a long day of code crusades, he relaxes with some rum (mixed with milk) while watching a slapstick movie.

Looking ahead, Christian looks at a bright future with NewsBTC. He says that his expertise and passion are privileged to share with fellow editors and bosses, share what he respects deeply, and share his expertise and passion.

So next time you step into the world of cryptocurrency, remember the man behind the words that the Cryptocratic Crusades, Grease Monkeys, and the Cat Philosopher all rolled into one.

Mistral’s movement in tornado cash incidents is unlikely https://earlybirdsinvest.com/mistrals-movement-in-tornado-cash-incidents-is-unlikely/ https://earlybirdsinvest.com/mistrals-movement-in-tornado-cash-incidents-is-unlikely/#respond Thu, 24 Jul 2025 02:02:53 +0000 https://earlybirdsinvest.com/mistrals-movement-in-tornado-cash-incidents-is-unlikely/

Testimony regarding the fact that some of the stolen funds from IRS Special Agent Stephen George’s Hanfen Lin had been placed in tornado cash seemed reliable enough to prevent the defense from filing a claim of tort.

On Monday, the defense of the tornado cash trial came to mind to file a motion for the Miss Trial after saying that FBI special agent Joel DeCapua had not tracked the tracking of funds stolen from the case’s first witness to Tornado Cash Mixing Services.

However, after today’s testimony from IRS special agent Stephen George, the second witness, the second witness who prosecutors sought training to track assets on public blockchains, seems slim at best to file a complaint of dispute.

Special Agent George hired the accounting principals from LIFO (last, first out) that included Etherscan.io (Ethereum’s Block Explorer), Chainalysis’ Reactor, and TRM Labs, and spoke about how they used the TRM Lab to track stolen funds.

According to data from special agent George, approximately 149,000 USDT was sent from Lynn’s crypto.com account through a series of wallets. About a third of this amount was exchanged for 9.78 ETH (worth around $47,000 at the time) before moving the Tornado Cash on November 15th, 2021.

Special Agent George admitted that, according to initial disclosures from prosecutors, he was not tasked with tracking these stolen funds from crypto.com to tornado cash, but began to do so at the end of June or early July this year.

This defense was thorough in cross-examination of special agent George, but it seemed to struggle to find holes in his story and the notable flaws in the analytical process.

Special Agent George admitted that his analysis may not have been perfect, but said that the results of his analysis using chain analysis and tracing tools from TRM Labs independently produced similar results.

That being said, the defense shared that he plans to complete Cross Agent Special Agent George at the beginning of tomorrow’s trial.

So, there is still a possibility that he could find a way to trust some of the data he presented, but based on today’s cross-examination, it doesn’t seem possible.

See this thread in X for a more detailed explanation of what happened in court today.

Sudden $8,000,000,000 Bitcoin Wallet Movement Potentially Result of Hack, According to Coinbase Executive https://earlybirdsinvest.com/sudden-8000000000-bitcoin-wallet-movement-potentially-result-of-hack-according-to-coinbase-executive/ https://earlybirdsinvest.com/sudden-8000000000-bitcoin-wallet-movement-potentially-result-of-hack-according-to-coinbase-executive/#respond Mon, 07 Jul 2025 09:27:05 +0000 https://earlybirdsinvest.com/sudden-8000000000-bitcoin-wallet-movement-potentially-result-of-hack-according-to-coinbase-executive/

The sudden awakening of old Bitcoin (BTC) whale wallets may be linked to a hack, according to on-chain analysis by Coinbase director Conor Grogan. 

Posting on the social media platform X, Grogan makes several observations about last week’s sudden movement of whale wallets holding $8 billion in BTC after lying dormant for more than 14 years. 

Grogan notes that one of the wallets appears to have made a test transaction on the Bitcoin Cash (BCH) network just hours before the big move happened, suggesting that whoever was responsible for the transfer was trying to go unnoticed.

“There is a small possibility that the $8 billion in BTC that recently woke up were hacked or compromised private keys

I found a single BCH test transaction from one of the BTC whale clusters… followed by the full amount. An hour later, the BTC wallets began to move. 

There is a possibility that the owner was testing the private key in a way that wouldn’t get noticed, as BCH isn’t monitored heavily by whale-watching services

What makes me say this is the other BCH wallets have not been touched at all; why wouldn’t they also sweep these?

This is all extreme speculation, but the movements are extremely odd here. I do not think that this is an exchange wallet due to the BCH activity, and given the BTC transfers appear to be all manual.”

Bitcoin Cash is a hard fork of Bitcoin. Wallets that held BTC before the 2017 Bitcoin Cash fork may also hold the same amount of BCH.

Grogan appears to be suggesting that the BCH test transfer could have been the hacker’s way of checking whether they had access to the wallet before transferring the massive BTC stack.

The wallets in question first accumulated Bitcoin when BTC was trading at $0.78.

Movement Lab and Mantra Scandals are shaking crypto market production https://earlybirdsinvest.com/movement-lab-and-mantra-scandals-are-shaking-crypto-market-production/ https://earlybirdsinvest.com/movement-lab-and-mantra-scandals-are-shaking-crypto-market-production/#respond Sat, 17 May 2025 10:26:37 +0000 https://earlybirdsinvest.com/movement-lab-and-mantra-scandals-are-shaking-crypto-market-production/

Two of the most chaotic token explosions of the year – Movement Lab’s Movement Scandal and the collapse of the Mantra’s OM – are sending shockwaves through the crypto market production business.

In both cases, a rapid price crash unlocked the hidden actor, suspicious tokens, revealing a secondary contract that claimed blind market participants to blind.

Mantra's OM suddenly fell 90% 90% in mid-April for more than a few hours. (TradingView)

Unlike traditional finance, where market manufacturers offer orderly bidding spreads in regulated venues, crypto market manufacturers often operate like high stakes trading desks.

They’re not just quoting prices. They negotiate pre-launch token allocations, accept lockups, structuring the liquidity of central exchanges, and sometimes fair or advised interests.

As a result, there is a dark space where liquidity regulations are caught up in private trade, toconemics and, in many cases, insider politics.

In late April, Coindesk Exposé showed that some Movement Lab executives had conspired with their own market makers to abandon the $38 million move in open markets.

Now, some companies are questioning whether they are too casual to trust counterparties. How do you hedge positions if the token unlock schedule is opaque? What happens when a handshake quietly overrides DAO’s suggestion?

“Our approach currently includes a broader preliminary discussion and educational sessions with the project team, ensuring a thorough understanding of the mechanisms of market production,” Hong Kong-based Metalpha’s Metalpha Making Division told Coindesk in an interview.

“Our trading structure has evolved to emphasize long-term strategic alignment against short-term performance metrics, which incorporates certain safeguards against unethical behaviors such as excessive token damping and artificial trading volumes.”

Behind the scenes, the conversation is intensifying. The terms of the transaction are being examined more carefully. Some liquidity desks are reassessing how they take on token risks.

Others are demanding more severe transparency – or walking completely away from dark projects.

“The project no longer accepts an honorable reputation at face value. We have witnessed whether even established players can exploit shadow allocations or engage in harmful token sales practices.” “The era of presumed trust concludes,” he argued.

Beneath the refined surface of the token is the announcement of the announcement and the sorting of market production agreements. There is another layer of cryptocurrency. In the secondary OTC market, locked tokens quietly exchange hands before they hit the public eye before they win the cliff.

Trading beneath these tables, often struck between early supporters, funds and syndicates, is currently distorting supply dynamics and findings of distorted prices, some traders say. And for market makers tasked with providing orderly fluidity, they are becoming increasingly opaque and dangerous variables.

“The secondary OTC market has changed the dynamics of the industry,” said Min Jung, an analyst at Presto Research, which runs the market production division. “When you look at tokens with questionable price actions like $layer, $om, $mov, etc., they are often the most aggressively traded in the secondary OTC market.”

“The entire supply and vesting schedule is skewed due to these out-of-market transactions, and because of liquid funds, the real challenge is to get a sense of when the supply is actually unlocked,” Jung added.

In a market where prices are fiction and supplies are negotiated in the back room, actual risk is not volatility for traders. I believe float is what the white paper and founders say.

Scouting for the Future: Technology and the Scouting Movement https://earlybirdsinvest.com/scouting-for-the-future-technology-and-the-scouting-movement/ https://earlybirdsinvest.com/scouting-for-the-future-technology-and-the-scouting-movement/#respond Tue, 01 Apr 2025 05:37:37 +0000 https://earlybirdsinvest.com/scouting-for-the-future-technology-and-the-scouting-movement/

Hello everyone! My name is Mihajlo, and over the past six months as part of my Next Billion Fellowship, I’ve been working to bring the benefits of Web3 to the World Scouting Movement.

Growing up in Serbia in the ’90s, I experienced firsthand the devastating effects that wars and sanctions can have on young people. There weren’t a lot of opportunities to find good role models or supportive peers. In that sort of environment, it’s easy for youth to become caught up in gangs or criminal activity. I would say it’s because of technology and the scouting movement that I was able to avoid turning down the wrong path.

In 1996, I searched for “Izviđači” (Serbian for ‘scout’) on Yahoo, and stumbled upon one of the first scouting groups in the world to have its own website. One of the members had created the website as a university project earlier that year. Finding that website was where my journey began. Fast-forward through 27 years of adventure, learning, volunteering, and professional engagement – and now I work for the World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM), a vibrant global community, representing more than 57 million Scouts across over 170 National Scout Organizations.

A Decentralised Movement

The Scouting movement is decentralised, with each chapter bringing its own unique skills and goals to a grassroots community focused on fostering an environment of learning, personal growth, and mutual respect. Scouts follow a general framework and guiding principles agreed upon by all members of the World Organization, but have autonomy in how they implement projects and initiatives.

In Scouting, we believe that education is key to making the world a better place to live, and that technology is one of the most powerful tools for education. Since 1957, scouts around the world have participated in the “Jamboree on the air” – a remote gathering of scouts working on the skills of amateur radio operation. More recently, scouts around the world have joined the “Jamboree on the Internet” – the next generation of global scouting events facilitated by technology.

In my time with WOSM, I’ve watched the scouting movement experiment with the early internet, and then helped it to make the transition to Web 2.0. Today, scouts have a full online presence and platform that can be used worldwide to coordinate and contribute to global initiatives, keep track of local chapters, and to communicate with the global movement. I am excited to say that it’s now time for the scouts to upgrade to Web 3.0!

My Next Billion Fellowship

The first piece of my work as a Next Billion Fellow was to create some educational content for scouts on the basics of Web3: We talked about what a blockchain is, how it can be used, and the importance of encryption for staying safe online. I hosted two sessions at the “Jamboree on the Internet”, and as a proof of participation for the event, encouraged attendees to mint the first-ever World Scouting NFT badge using POAP.

The digitization of scout badges is a very clear use case for us, and we will be working to create new blockchain-based badges for scouts around the world to unlock and collect. But there is much more potential for innovation in the world of Web3 for the scouting movement. New mechanisms for voting and governance could allow scouts worldwide to have more effective coordination on big initiatives. A world scouting curriculum for Web3 could help millions of young people learn how to safely keep and use digital assets. A world scouting wallet could guide and reward scouts on their journey of learning, and allow local chapters to create and export their own challenges and badges to a global community.

The Scout’s Passport

Although this journey began with seeing the untapped potential of NFTs and digital badges, the world of Web 3.0 is a big territory — and I wanted to chart a path that moves wisely toward the long-term goals of Scouting. A Scout’s badges are tokens of personal growth and achievement that a scout takes with them. They help to support and define the identity of a scout, acting as ‘soul-bound tokens’ attached to a real person’s journey through life and scouting. Digital badges are a large part of the picture, but what we really need is an identity system that is compatible with digital badges, tokens, and anything else that Scouts may need in the future.

We are now preparing to build the first foundational layer of World Scouting Web3 vision: The Scout’s Passport. As an identity system, a Scout’s passport would be compatible with all sorts of Web3 systems, and would allow the scouting movement to have an identity layer for badges, tokens, signatures, messages, etc. In particular, a Web3-enabled scout’s identity would allow for more robust social recovery for scouts, allowing us to safely create DAO scouting groups, to explore new methods of crowdfunding and governance, and of course to unlock the infinite possibilities of NFTs and digital badges or certifications. Above all else, developing a special wallet module for the Scouts will enable us to create user flows and account protections specifically for young people, an important demographic not often considered in consumer wallet software.

Like all initiatives in the scouting movement, we are working from the ground up. The development of the scout’s passport will have a sustainable support system and community-based contributions from the many scouts already involved in Web3. The Scouts wallet will be open-source, allowing anyone to both contribute to and to benefit from modules in our identity platform. We hope to have an MVP of the World Scouting Wallet ready in time for the World Scout Jamboree being held in South Korea this August, which will bring together 45,000 scouts from all over the world.

Moving Forward

As I continue on this exciting journey, I’m working on implementing a technical framework for a set of initial World Scouting Educational Initiatives and Scouts for Sustainable Development Goals Badges based on verified credentials that will then be stored in the Scout’s wallet module. I think that technology is a powerful tool to create an empowered community, and with this framework we can start to build a brighter future for Scouts worldwide.

I’m excited to share my progress and experiences with you, and I hope to inspire others to explore the potential of blockchain and Web3 technology within their own communities. Let’s embark on this journey together and see where it takes us!

Crypto analyst Trend Diva has provided an in-depth analysis of the current Ethereum price action. She revealed that ETH is still moving inside an ascending triangle but warned that it could suffer further downside pressure if it fails to stay above a crucial support level. 

Ethereum Price Still Inside An Ascending Triangle Despite Recent Crash

In a TradingView post, Trend Diva revealed that the Ethereum price is moving inside a clear ascending triangle. The upper boundary acts as long-term resistance, and the lower boundary provides dynamic support. This analysis comes amid ETH’s recent decline below $2,000.

The analyst noted that after a steady climb, the Ethereum price started showing weakness, confirmed by a head and shoulders pattern, which she claimed is a common sign that the trend might reverse. This weakness led to a strong drop for ETH, bringing its price down to the key support zone around $2,000. 

Trend Diva stated that this support area is important for the Ethereum price because it meets with a major trendline, making it a likely spot where buyers could step in. She added that the volume profile also shows a lot of activity in this zone, meaning traders have been interested in these levels before.

 The analyst further remarked that if the Ethereum price holds above this $2,000 support, it could bounce towards the $2,800 level, which represents a previous resistance. However, she revealed that a breakdown below the trendline shifts the bias bearish towards $1,414. 

For now, as long as ETH stays above $2,000, a rebound to $2,800 is still on the horizon. 

It is worth mentioning that the Ethereum price briefly lost the $2,000 support level following a crypto market crash on Sunday. As such, there is also the possibility that it could drop to as low as $1,414 as Trend Diva warned. 

A Drop To As Low As $1,250 Is Also On The Cards

In an X post, crypto analyst Ali Martinez said the Ethereum price seems to be breaking out of a parallel channel. He added that ETH could drop to as low as $1,250 if momentum sustains. ETH whales look to be doing everything possible to defend the $2,000 support zone and prevent Ethereum from dropping to these new lows.

Martinez revealed that the largest whales on the network have bought 330,000 ETH in the last 48 hours. This massive whale accumulation could help prevent further downside pressure and possibly spark a bullish reversal for the Ethereum price. 

At the time of writing, the Ethereum price is trading at around $2,065, down over 5% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.
