Zoltan Vardai11 hours agoBitcoin at ‘perfect’ macro setup, but dip below $58K risks $500M in liquidationsBitcoin could gain significant traction from the growing M2 money supply, but a correction below $58,000 is still on the table before more upside.3000 Total views5 Total sharesListen to article 0:00NewsOwn this piece of crypto historyCollect this article as NFTCOINTELEGRAPH IN YOUR SOCIAL FEEDFollow ourSubscribe onBitcoin is at a “perfect” setup from a macroeconomic perspective, but over $500 million worth of looming liquidations threaten to create more volatility for the world’s first cryptocurrency.


In relation to the global M2 money supply, Bitcoin’s (BTC) current mid-cycle correction positions it for an imminent bullish breakout, according to Jamie Coutts, a chief crypto analyst at Real Vision.


Coutts wrote in an Aug. 13 X post:“Over the past decade, Bitcoin has had a tendency to trough several months before the bottom in global M2. Then it rips, gets way ahead of the move in liquidity, and has a mid-cycle correction.”BTC/M2 money supply. Source: Jamie Coutts


The growing global liquidity from the M2 money supply, combined with the spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs), makes for the “perfect setup” for Bitcoin, added the analyst.


The analysis comes as Bitcoin is recovering from last week’s $510 billion crypto market sell-off, which tanked its price to a five-month low of $49,500 on Aug. 5. Bitcoin still remains under the key $60,000 psychological mark.

Despite the bullish macroeconomic perspective, Bitcoin price could still see a correction to the $55,000 mark.


A potential move below $58,000 would liquidate $489 million worth of cumulative leveraged short positions across all exchanges, according to Coinglass data.

Cumulative short Bitcoin liquidations would surpass $800 million if Bitcoin’s price fell below $57,500.

Bitcoin is currently unable to break out of its two-week downtrend, which started on July 28.


A successful retest of this downside trend line would enable more bullish momentum, according to popular analyst Rekt Capital, who wrote in an Aug. 12 X post:


“As time goes on, the downtrend represents lower prices, meaning that retest attempts could go to lower prices and still be successful. The key here is trend continuation. Bitcoin needs to experience strong buy-side volume on the retest of the downtrend.”BTC/USD, 1-day chart, downtrend. Source: Rekt Capital


Other analysts are eying apotential Bitcoin correction to $55,000 before Bitcoin can gain more upward momentum.
