U.S. Net Liquidity has a negative (-0.50) measured relationship with lagged Bitcoin returns

LOW confidence

The selected estimate uses N = 13 aligned observations. Cross-window stability is stable.

Selected relationshipPearson correlation is -0.50.
Stability checkThe sign across tested windows is stable.
Reliability and limitations
  • Correlation is descriptive and does not establish prediction or causation.
  • Macro history uses latest revisions rather than point-in-time vintages.
