Global Liquidity Cycles

Driver

Global liquidity cycles represent the periodic expansion and contraction of available capital across interconnected financial systems, significantly impacting risk asset valuations. These movements are largely dictated by central bank policy, interest rate shifts, and quantitative easing programs that determine the volume of credit circulating globally. In cryptocurrency markets, these cycles often dictate risk appetite, where an influx of cheap capital frequently leads to speculative surges in digital assets and derivatives trading volume.
