Despite Bitcoin and major altcoins holding steady for now, the recent weekend sell-off through August 5 caused significant market upheaval. Billions in leveraged positions were wiped out, putting technical pressure on prices despite their current stability.
Rising Global Liquidity: A Boon for Bitcoin?
Amid concerns of Bitcoin, Solana, Ethereum, and other cryptos potentially dropping to multi-week lows, one analyst on X suggests the market is primed for a comeback.
It’s not entirely out in the public, but QE is happening.
Approximately $30 billion will be added every month through Treasury Buyback Operations.

The crypto community had anticipated a reduction in the Federal Reserve’s interest rates, currently at multi-year highs. However, the decision to delay rate cuts means these rates remain higher than expected.
Looking ahead, the U.S. central bank is likely to reduce rates to 5% at the next FOMC meeting scheduled for September. The analyst also predicts the Federal Reserve will launch a Treasury Buyback operation at that time, injecting around $30 billion into the economy monthly.
The combination of lower interest rates and the buyback program will significantly enhance global liquidity. Historically, such actions—similar to those taken during the 2020-2021 period to mitigate COVID-19’s impact—led to a sharp increase in global liquidity.
During that time, Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies surged to multi-year highs. Investors flocked to Bitcoin, attracted by its scarcity and its potential as a value-preserving asset.
Currently, global liquidity stands at over $106 trillion and is expected to continue rising—a positive sign for Bitcoin and other liquid, deflationary digital assets.
Proceed with Caution: BTC Support at $50,000
However, caution is still advised. Bitcoin remains highly volatile, and no tool can accurately predict price movements.
Immediate support for Bitcoin is at $50,000. Should prices recover and surge past $60,000, bullish sentiment may increase, re-energizing weary buyers.
Despite the market’s turbulence, institutional confidence in Bitcoin remains strong. Following MicroStrategy’s lead, Semler Scientific purchased $6 million worth of Bitcoin on August 5, bringing its total holdings to 929 BTC since it began buying in May 2024.
