🧠 Bitcoin Supply Squeeze Incoming — Are Alts About to Explode?

Another week, another macro fakeout — unless you were paying attention.

July 18, 2025by @DurdenBTC

While headlines screamed “soft landing” and the normies debated Powell’s job security over his billion dollar HQ renovations, Bitcoin quietly consolidated near the highs while the data rolled in and screamed one thing:

Liquidity is coming.

And Bitcoin is front-running it.

The market isn't reacting to inflation anymore. It's reacting to how quickly the Fed has run out of excuses. And that's exactly where Bitcoin thrives.


💧 The Liquidity Picture: Still Rebuilding, Still Risk-On

Our Bitcoin Macro Liquidity Regime Tracker flipped from Neutral to Expansion this week.

That’s not small. It’s the kind of shift that historically precedes sustained rallies.

TLDR? This is not the time to be in cash.


📊 ETF Demand vs New Supply: The Silent Accumulator

While CT argued about alt season and shitcoin rotations, ETF demand quietly absorbed double the new BTC issuance.

Yes, 2:1 ratio — ETFs are buying twice as much Bitcoin as is being mined.

This is how supply shocks form. Not instantly. Not with memes. But with quiet, relentless accumulation that goes unnoticed — until it doesn't.


🔁 Alt Season Watch: Dominance Breakdown

Bitcoin dominance finally cracked and is testing key support.

This doesn’t confirm an alt season… but the structure is breaking for the first time in 3 years.

Stay nimble. When Bitcoin rests, degenerates rotate.


🔍 On-Chain: Retail Still Selling, Smart Money Still Buying

We closed the week with a rare alignment:

If you’re waiting for a crash before acting… you're betting against the data.


⚡ Weekly Forecast: Still Risk-On

Every institutional model we track stayed bullish. Nothing cracked. No regime shift. Just acceleration.

Powell may be dodging questions, but the bond market is already pricing cuts. And Bitcoin is responding exactly how it should.


🎯 Actionable Takeaway

Stay long. Stay ready. Trim only into euphoria. There’s no euphoria yet — just early ignition.
