The monetary backdrop.
Follow liquidity, yields and policy through official source data. Inspect the drivers before drawing a conclusion about Bitcoin.
Macro conditions
ProvisionalSupportive and restrictive forces are broadly balanced.
Not a probability of Bitcoin returns.
The current macro backdrop is neutral
Reverse repo: Near Zero Low Weight; contributes 1.0 points. The 43.1 score is normalized across available inputs only.
Reliability and limitations
- 81% of configured score weight is available.
- This is a contextual composite, not a Bitcoin forecast or causal model.
U.S. net-liquidity proxy
Neutral
Context, not a forecast. Supportive conditions do not imply deterministic BTC upside.
How the macro score is constructed
Drivers are broadly balanced
Treasury General Account: Rebuilding; contributes 2.5 points.
Long yields: Stable; contributes 4.5 points.
Net liquidity: Flat; contributes 9.7 points.
Reverse repo: Near Zero Low Weight; contributes 1.0 points.
Fed balance sheet: Stable; contributes 12.2 points.
Policy direction: Hold; contributes 5.0 points.
Score breakdown
Nominal weight: 10%
Effective weight: 1%
How is this score calculated?
| Component | Raw value | Direction | Nominal weight | Effective weight | Normalized | Contribution (points) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fed balance sheet | +0.22% | SUPPORTIVE | 20% | 20% | 61.1 / 100 | 12.2 |
| Net liquidity | -0.46% | RESTRICTIVE | 25% | 25% | 38.6 / 100 | 9.7 |
| Treasury General Account | +4.99% | RESTRICTIVE | 10% | 10% | 25.0 / 100 | 2.5 |
| Reverse repo | -98.14% | SUPPORTIVE | 10% | 1% | 100.0 / 100 | 1.0 |
| Long yields | +10 bps | RESTRICTIVE | 15% | 15% | 30.0 / 100 | 4.5 |
| Dollar | Unavailable | UNAVAILABLE | 10% | Excluded | Unavailable | Unavailable |
| Policy direction | 0 bps | NEUTRAL | 10% | 10% | 50.0 / 100 | 5.0 |
Contribution = normalized value ÷ 100 × effective weight. Score = sum of contributions ÷ sum of available effective weights × 100. Current calculation: 34.9 ÷ 81.0 × 100 ≈ 43.1 / 100. Displayed inputs are rounded.
Reverse repo has less remaining liquidity to release when its balance is low. Its effective weight is 10% × clamp(current RRP balance ÷ $500 billion, 0.1, 1): a 1% floor and 10% ceiling. Weights are points out of the configured 100, before normalization over available inputs.
Missing inputs are excluded from both the numerator and available-weight denominator; they never silently count as zero.
See what moved beneath the headline
A rising headline proxy can come from different mechanisms. Each source remains separately visible.
“Money printing” is not one thing
Central-bank assets and reserve balances rise through direct balance-sheet expansion.
The central-bank balance sheet contracts as assets mature or are sold.
Treasury spends cash held at the Fed, which can add liquidity to the banking system.
Cash leaves the reverse-repo facility, which can release liquidity elsewhere.
Treasury purchases outstanding debt; this can affect market liquidity and duration supply, but it is not QE.
This is a directional liquidity proxy. It is not a literal measure of money available to buy Bitcoin and does not establish causation.
The latest stored revision is shown. Historical research does not yet use real-time vintages, so revised source data can affect backtests.
