Bitcoin's sensitivity to global liquidity is not a constant. It's a regime that can be measured.
The rolling β coefficient, built out by
@JackGreenCrypto measures how strongly BTC responds to a unit change in global liquidity over a trailing 52-week window. Full-sample reference: 0.0404.
When β sits above the reference line, Bitcoin is in a hyper-sensitive period where liquidity changes carry outsized weight. When β compresses below, the macro link breaks down, typically during idiosyncratic shocks like exchange failures or regulatory events.
Current read: β sitting near 0.018, well below the full-sample reference. Bitcoin is in a macro-decoupled regime.
Periods where β climbs well above 0.04 have preceded the strongest expansion phases. Sustained compression below the reference often coincides with macro-disconnected drawdowns where idiosyncratic flows dominate price action.
Liquidity is not always the driver. Knowing when it is matters more than knowing the level itself.
