Analysts are eyeing a less conventional indicator to predict Bitcoin’s trajectory: the M2 money supply, where M2 corresponds to the total number of different currency and commercial paper units in circulation.&nbsp;This metric, the sum of all the marketable US cash and short-term money in circulation, has a trend similar to Bitcoin’s bullish cycles, thus creating doubt about its future role as an influencer in the market.Also read: <a href="https://www.cryptopolitan.com/bitcoins-bullish-trend-reinforced/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin bullish trend</a><h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="historical-correlation-of-us-money-supply-and-bitcoin-s-rally">Historical correlation of US money supply and&nbsp; Bitcoin’s rally</h2>As with the markets and considering their historical data, the growth of M2 money supply may be a tool for boosting BTC’s rally. In referring to his recent<a href="https://twitter.com/Jamie1Coutts/status/1790899680324599986" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> analysis</a>, Jamie Coutts, a crypto analyst, explains why strength in the US dollar is strongly correlated with weakness in cryptocurrencies.&nbsp;<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet">📊 Global Money Supply and <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Bitcoin?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">#Bitcoin</a> Its attempting to punch through multi-year resistance.

Coutts underlines that the speed of the M2 volume variations and Bitcoin price interrelations are the most significant factors here rather than absolute quantities.The central banks view a rise in this reading as a positive signal of a potential improvement in conditions. Developments related to the M2 money supply have become so significant that even investors cannot resist paying attention.&nbsp;By the end of May 2033, M2 money stock exhibited a positive increase in annual comparisons for the first time since November 2023. This turnaround hints at a possible channel control change as investors are convinced to invest less in assets like Bitcoin due to inflation.<figure class="wp-block-image"><img src="https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/SMMoOjOZiYwaV6jevIp1LsVnoxSWn7740jKjlgNE0hMuoQi8gsVTFF4wRiyiC3vZ7icpH9BNR2DZeHCh0DdEw585Z4PMmTVPzXmTQDgPKtZi2OkP5-ONdZX-lkMrf5xz0X8YCV0TfDTsrZixgMIOf1A" alt=""></figure>Source:ycharts<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="dollar-dynamics-and-bitcoin">&nbsp;Dollar dynamics and Bitcoin</h2>&nbsp;In addition to the M2 amount, which analysts watch for signs of a market catalyst, they also pay attention to the USD behavior, which is prone to have a big effect on the Bitcoin price dynamics.&nbsp;Also read: <a href="https://www.cryptopolitan.com/us-dollar-weakens-against-alternative-assets/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">US dollar weakens</a>Coutts mentioned that the dollar’s movement determines the direction of Bitcoin’s growth or fall, explaining that the slump below the 101 barrier will strengthen the upward trend. The dollar has traded in a narrow range, sending waves of fear among market players. They are all focused on the charts and looking for levels of support, hoping to either prolong the status quo or begin a corrective trend.<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img width="1200" height="702" src="https://www.cryptopolitan.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/image-112-1200x702.png" alt="" class="wp-image-526121"></figure>Source: Trading View
