Liquidity Blow to Bitcoin Rally Expectations: 2 Giants Sound the Alarm

The halt in new capital inflows into the cryptocurrency market and the growth in stablecoin supply turning negative are weakening expectations for a Bitcoin (BTC) price rally.

While the Bitcoin price follows a sideways course at the $60,000 levels, a serious decrease in the amount of fresh money entering the market is observed. Recent data shared by CryptoQuant reveals that investors prefer to stay on the sidelines and that the liquidity to move the market upward is insufficient. The fact that new capital inflow has come to a standstill is considered the biggest obstacle to a possible rally.

Specifically looking at the 30-day growth rate in stablecoin market value, a clear contraction is seen on the USDC side. USDT data on the Ethereum network also confirms that purchasing power in the market has weakened by exhibiting a similar downward trend. This situation shows that potential buyers are not minting new stablecoins or converting their cash assets into cryptocurrencies.

Drop in Stablecoin Supply Prevents an Upswing

In the analyzed data, the direct correlation between the Bitcoin price and stablecoin supply draws attention. In contrast to the strong rallies in previous periods, the current chart shows that both USDC and USDT growth rates have entered a significant downward trend. This lack of liquidity on the buyer side means that the fuel required for the price to start a permanent rally is missing.

Under current market conditions, any potential price increases are highly likely to remain short-term technical reactions rather than a permanent trend reversal. For the Bitcoin price to regain momentum, new capital inflows must first begin and the stablecoin supply must return to positive territory. Investors are warned that moves made without fresh money entering the market will remain limited.
