Bitcoin’s price movement is starting to look positive after a brief stretch of crashes on Sunday and Monday. After breaking down to $74,000 on Monday, bearish momentum looked ready to drag Bitcoin’s price down further. However, bulls quickly stepped in to defend the dip. Their aggressive buying has pushed the price back up, with Bitcoin now moving towards the $80,000 level again.
This recent crash is interesting because it aligns almost perfectly with a high-telling metric. This metric not only foreshadowed the crash, but it is now pointing to a powerful upward move for the next Bitcoin rally.
Analyst Says Global M2 Is A Leading Signal For Bitcoin’s Next Move
Colin, a well-followed crypto analyst on X, recently drew attention to Bitcoin’s relationship with the global M2 money supply. Taking to social media platform X, the analyst shared a chart showing Bitcoin’s price correlation with the Global M2 Money Supply, although with a 108-day offset. It almost looks like the Global M2 Money Supply is working as a template for Bitcoin’s price action, as the leading cryptocurrency has been tracing this offest almost step by step since August 2024.
In his latest post, Colin explained that Bitcoin continues to “follow Global M2 like glue.” The chart he shared overlays Bitcoin’s candlestick movements with a yellow line representing the M2 supply offset by that duration. The result is a striking correlation that Colin has consistently tracked for over a year.
The chart below highlights what Colin labeled a mini-rally that failed and another crash, which has played out just as M2 had predicted. Now, with Bitcoin starting April with this crash, the M2 indicator suggests that it could very well blast off anytime soon.
However, Colin noted that the price could consolidate further or experience minor dips before the anticipated rally. The analyst noted that the leading cryptocurrency is not fully out of the woods. But if lucky, it will be mostly sideways from here until the blastoff shown by the M2, which is not until May.
May Blast-Off? BTC’s Rally Setup Strengthens Despite Short-Term Crash
Colin’s forecast is based on the idea that Bitcoin could begin a major upward move by early May, which he called a May “blast-off.” The yellow M2 projection curve on his chart shows a steep climb ahead starting from May 1, indicating the possibility of Bitcoin rallying toward $128,000 if the correlation remains intact.
However, the analyst did not forgo the short-term risks that Bitcoin and the entire crypto market might face in April. These short-term risks are based on policy concerns regarding the “Trump tariffs,” which have set the investing markets ablaze in the past few days.
The coming weeks will be important for the outcome of this blastoff. Should it hold above the $78,000–$80,000 level while maintaining alignment with the Global M2 Money Supply, May could usher in the parabolic move Colin is hinting at.
At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $79,255, up by 5.5% in the past 24 hours.
