Liquidity conditions are also improving, based on Coinbase’s internal M2 index, which tracks monetary flows that impact asset prices. The firm had previously predicted a weak November followed by a rebound, citing similar indicators.
The note also flagged additional tailwinds that could support the rally, among them the expected bursting of the so-called AI bubble that hasn’t happened and a weaker U.S. dollar.
Though remaining lower for the week, bitcoin did manage to rise from its worst levels, perhaps fueled by institutional headlines like Vanguard’s crypto ETF policy reversal, Bank of America greenlighting its wealth advisers to recommend allocations of as much as 4% of portfolios in crypto.
