This chart represents a correlation of BTC price and USDC + USDT market cap divided by total crypto market cap.
As we can see, as soon as we are touching any channel borders on a stablecoin chart, we are starting to reverse to another side on Bitcoin chart.
Right now, we are exactly in that situation and my bet is that in 2023 we experienced a smaller distribution phase in a larger, global accumulation phase.
If we would think about that from an institutional perspective, this is a perfect way to make our general entry price lower by selling part of our crypto assets now in hope of buying more at the lower prices.
P.S...
Overall market conditions is the story for another post, but in my opinion we don't have enough power to grow risk assets and lead them into new bull market. Instead, it would be much more logical to get a better position by seeding hope of ETF's and big institutional buys, when in reality these buys already partially happened and now they are about to fix some profits on them already.
Trade safely, peace out!
