Willy Woo: Bitcoin Price Leads M2 to DXY Index More Suited to Assess Bitcoin Correlation

On November 13th, the cryptocurrency analyst Willy Woo stated that "the market does not adhere to the expansion of global M2 supply; rather, it is of a speculative nature. This implies that the market will anticipate and price in expected liquidity in advance. Risk assets usually lead M2. Consequently, at the global top, one will observe the S&P Index peaking ahead of time, and Bitcoin will also reach its peak earlier. This is because Bitcoin can serve as a liquidity perception mechanism." Moreover, M2 is a flawed metric. When evaluating the total fiat supply in the system by measuring in dollars, it is noted that only about 17% is actually in dollars, with the rest in foreign currencies. Thus, M2 actually reflects more the strength of the dollar. In fact, there is a more appropriate metric, which is the DXY (Dollar Index), and it is much more reliable when evaluating the correlation with Bitcoin."
