Decoding Warsh’s Fed Hearing: Headwind for Bitcoin or Accumulation Phase? via @cryptoquant_com(Report-#267) Kevin Warsh’s Fed hearing highlighted a shift from rate-focused policy to structural tightening via balance sheet reduction. This approach targets not just the “price” of money (rates) but the “quantity” of liquidity in the system. While short-term rates could fall, long-term yields may rise as liquidity is withdrawn, creating a twisted macro environment. For risk assets like Bitcoin, this is typically a headwind. Higher long-term yields and tighter dollar liquidity tend to suppress upside, as capital rotates toward safer assets. However, on-chain data tells a different story. The Long-Term Holder SOPR (LTH-SOPR) is currently around 1.0, indicating that long-term holders are not aggressively taking profits. Historically, this reflects reduced sell pressure and constrained supply. In other words, despite macro tightening, supply is not expanding. This creates a rare divergence: weakening macro liquidity versus strengthening supply dynamics. In such conditions, price may remain range-bound in the short term. But with limited supply, any renewed demand—especially via ETFs—can trigger a sharper move upward. Bitcoin is currently in a phase where external conditions are weak, but internal structure is strong. This suggests a quiet accumulation period rather than a confirmed downturn, with significant upside potential once liquidity returns. https://t.co/GJGj2zrpoP’s-Fed-Hearing:-Headwind-for-Bitcoin-or-Accumulation-Phase?
