What Matters for Bitcoin in 2022 as It Catches a Stock Liquidity Storm?
Macro strategist Jurrien Timmer at financial giant Fidelity readjusts his outlook on Bitcoin after the leading cryptocurrency fell below a key price level.
In a thread on Twitter, Timmer to say He was surprised to see that BTC failed to hold $40,000 after a steady decline from ATH to above $69,000 in November.
“It’s been a bad ride for crypto. Glassnode’s bitcoin-sensitive stock index has hit a 2021 low, which doesn’t bode well.
I figured $40,000 would be the bottom based on my demand model and on-chain momentum (via the inactive coin flow indicator), but BTC slipped to $35,000.”

Next he cites the earlier tendency of “weak hands” to yield to “strong hands”. Based on this, Timmer sees the potential for BTC to reverse course and bounce back.
“However, bitcoin often moves back and forth between ups and downs, so maybe that’s all that’s happening here.”
The chart below shows the “entity-cleaned dormant coin flow” that measures the transition from weak hands to strong hands. The indicator is now in a range that prevented previous declines.”

Conclusion of the analysis, Timmer to say Although Bitcoin has endured a rough patch that has also seen speculative stocks plummet, its strong fundamentals have remained untouched.
“Bitcoin is clearly caught up in the liquidity storm currently sweeping through the more speculative side of the stock market.
But unlike tech stocks, which aren’t profitable, BTC has an underlying foundation that’s becoming more attractive over time.
With the liquidity wave back, fundamentals will matter more than ever in 2022.”
At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading sideways at $36,699. Compared to the start of the year at $47,292, the price is down 22%.
