Kane's Liquidity Metric
Liquidity signal has just issued a critical macro warning
Kain’s liquidity metric is again in the range of 4% to 8%, while stablecoin reserves on exchanges continue to grow sharply. Historically, such a structure appears in late expansion phases when capital rotation remains active, but risk appetite begins to cool on the surface.
BTC price is still holding near cyclical highs, but liquidity preference behavior shows that investors are gradually shifting from pure risk exposure to defensive positions. Such divergence often becomes a hidden trigger before volatility expands and sharp directional moves.
What makes this situation dangerous is the combination of increased stablecoin reserves and slowing speculative momentum. If liquidity preference rises above 8%, previous cycles show that the market enters a high-probability distribution phase rather than continuing the euphoria.
