Interest rate announcements grab headlines, but real market mechanics run deeper. The actual plumbing is liquidity flow.



Take the Fed balance sheet—pipe number four in the system. When it expands, fresh liquidity floods markets and assets start moving. Bitcoin picks this up immediately. Unlike most narrative-driven assets, BTC functions as a pure liquidity gauge. It doesn't wait for the story; it reacts to the money supply first. Watch how correlation tightens when central banks shift their balance sheet stance. That's where the real alpha lies.

Liquidity is the real king, and stories are just decorations. Bitcoin is essentially a thermometer for liquidity; when the Fed expands its balance sheet, it screams loudly, even faster than news releases.

Basically, it's about watching the Fed's wallet, which is much more reliable than reading news releases.

Amazing, Bitcoin is indeed a barometer of liquidity. When the Federal Reserve's printing press starts, the price moves. Truly.

Bitcoin is the barometer of liquidity; this statement is quite sharp. When the central bank expands its balance sheet, BTC moves first, while other assets are still waiting for the story.

Liquidity is the real game rule; interest rate news is all smoke and mirrors.

NGL, the Fed balance sheet is the real game changer, much more useful than those interest rate news.
