Binance to launch Tesla perpetual contract with up to 5x leverage

Crypto pundit Kyle Chassé has pointed to the rising global liquidity to prove 
that Bitcoin is currently undervalued. His comments come as fiat currencies 
like the Dollar and Yen continue to weaken amid concerns about governments&#8217; 
fiscal policies. Global Liquidity Points To A Bitcoin Target Of $270,000 In an 
X post, Kyle Chassé shared an accompanying chart highlighting a Bitcoin target 
of $270,000 based on rising global liquidity. The pundit stated that the herd 
says that $90,000 BTC is expensive, but that the fiat ledger has reminded 
everyone why the digital ledger exists. This came as he revealed that the 
global M2 money supply has hit a record $98 trillion, driven by aggressive 
expansion from the U.S., the Eurozone, China, and Japan. Related Reading:

further noted that year-to-date (YTD) global liquidity growth is now 6.2%, the 
fastest pace since the 2020 pandemic response. The pundit warned that in a 
system where the fiat denominator is permanently diluted, fixed-supply assets 
are not going up in price, but that cash is “loudly becoming worthless.” As 
such, he believes that BTC is a good hedge against currency debasement and 
potentially inflation. The pundit’s comments notably come amid a decline in 
the dollar, with the DXY down since the start of the year. The yen is also 
down YTD, as these fiat declines are coming amid a push by the governments to 
increase spending. Increased government spending is considered bullish for 
Bitcoin, given its fixed supply compared to fiat currencies, which governments 
continue to print. BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes had also recently predicted 
that a rise in dollar liquidity would spark higher BTC prices. However, that 
is yet to be the case as Bitcoin continues to trade like a risk asset and has 
erased its year-to-date (YTD) gains amid political tensions in the U.S. A U.S. 
government shutdown is also looking more likely by January 31, sparking a BTC 
drop below $87,000 yesterday. BTC Will Rise Once Liquidity Returns Crypto 
pundit Merlijn assured that Bitcoin will rise once liquidity comes back. In an 
X post, he urged market participants to zoom out and that the BTC pattern 
would become obvious. The pundit revealed that the flagship crypto has already 
recorded waves 1, 2, and 3 with lower highs, which signal trend fatigue.

Crashing Hard Now, Bitcoin is looking to form waves 4 and 5, which would 
signal a reset, absorption, and base building. Merlijn suggested that the 
bottom may not yet be in, but that once that happens, BTC could rally to as 
high as $124,000, bringing it close to its current all-time high (ATH) of 
$126,000. At the time of writing, the Bitcoin price is trading at around 
$87,700, down in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.
