### **GLOBAL M2 & BITCOIN: A DYNAMIC DUO? 🥊**
Okay, the boxing emoji might’ve been a stretch—this isn’t a fight, it’s more like a partnership.
**M2** represents the total cash in circulation, money in bank accounts, and retail money market mutual funds. Simply put: more M2 = more liquidity to invest, including in Bitcoin.
Historically, Bitcoin’s price has trailed M2 movements by about **70 days**. When M2 grows, Bitcoin tends to follow. But here’s the catch—right now, **M2 is shrinking**. 👇 (see chart)
If the trend holds, Bitcoin could see a pullback in the coming months.

### **IS A DOWNTURN THE BEGINNING OF A BIGGER BULL RUN?**
This isn’t all doom and gloom. If history repeats, like the **2016/2017 bull market**, a potential dip could be just a pause before Bitcoin rockets again.
### **WHAT COULD REIGNITE BITCOIN?**
- **Money printing** and **rate cuts** could pump liquidity back into the system—and eventually into Bitcoin.
Guess who might be leading this charge? Uncle Sam.
The U.S. government racked up massive COVID-era debt, with repayments due in 2025. Likely strategy?
1. Print more money →
2. Pay off loans →
3. Slash interest rates →
4. Borrow again at cheaper rates.
This might sound frustrating if you’re saving in fiat, but for Bitcoin holders, this could fuel the next big run.

Whether Bitcoin stays tied to M2 or breaks free, its long-term outlook remains #bullish
