In detail thread in X on BTC price analysis, cryptocurrency analyst Cole Garner stated that a capitulation of the leading digital asset may be on the horizon. Garner attributes the potential downturn in the economy to tightening liquidity in the chain.

Tracking global central bank liquidity around the world, the analyst said he sees a “buy signal” for digital assets. However, more downsides to cryptocurrencies may emerge before liquidity measures by central banks correct them.

In his analysis, Garner stated that “if China doesn’t call, the Fed or Japan should,” which likely points to recent economic stimulus injected by China’s central bank to improve the country’s bleak economic prospects.

For the remainder of 2024, Bitcoin bulls expect interest rate cuts from the US Federal Reserve (Fed) to fuel a recent rally. However, BTC needs to overcome several hurdles to maintain its bullish momentum.
