Global M2 Can’t Predict Bitcoin Price, Says Quant Analyst

Sina-co-founder of the Hedge Fund 21st capital-publicly dismantled a popular Bitcoin price model promoted by the CEO of Real Vision Raoul Pal, calling it a case of text illiteracy text and excess.

The model in question draws a close correlation between Bitcoin and Global M2, a measure of the offer of global money, moving the M2 data forward of a certain number of weeks, generally from 10 to 12, to presumably “predict” the future moves of the Bitcoin price. Raoul Pal has used this graph to argue that macro liquidity conditions guide crypto cycles and that the current market behavior can be provided using monetary expansion.

But Sina, a trained data scientist who teaches data analysis at university and graduated level, says that this model collapses under control. “This is a terrible failure in not understanding the excess of general,” he said in a video of June 24 published on X. “What I am seeing does not even exceed the first month of a first year’s data analysis course.”

Sina underlines that the apparent correlation between Bitcoin and global M2 exists only because the data have been “tortured” to adapt to historical models. “If I am allowed to play with the data and arbitrarily move things, I can certainly find great correspondences between data pockets,” he said, warning that this flexibility is exactly what allows analysts to create the illusion of predictive accuracy.

The main problem, he explained, is that the global M2 data are intrinsically imperfect. It is completed by multiplying the M2 figures of various central banks for exchange rates, which quickly put rapid economies such as the United States with countries that have delays of weeks or even months. This creates a misleading impression of daily fluctuations in global liquidity. “He seems to move daily, but in reality he is mixing frequent and rare updates,” said Sina. “It’s not a real signal.”

Even more important, Sina claims that the model fails when the sections of the selective graph is enlarged. While Raoul Pal and others have shown examples of top and funds strictly aligned between Bitcoin and Global M2, Sina has shown how minor changes in delivery or scale times can produce drastically different results. “Let’s try an 80 -day advantage. He doesn’t have a nice appearance. What are you saying about 108? Ah, now the peaks align, so we are zooming again and pretend that it works,” he said sarcastically. “This is not a modeling. This is playing.”

He highlighted how any adjustment to the model-deposit from a 12 weeks to 10 weeks to 108-day days in place the lack of systematic foundations. “If you don’t have an adequate model, the future is not expected,” Sina said. “This is an excess of excess classic. Plane the data to combine historical behavior, but you lose any generalization.”

To illustrate the concept, Sina compared it with a curve through a noisy sinusoidal wave. A well -structured model captures the basic model and ignore the noise. An overfit model, on the contrary, tries to combine every small fluctuation, noting poor predictive performance when new data arrive. “The excess of fit it seems better, but model the noise. And the noise does not repeat itself,” he said.

Sina also wondered if Bitcoin could actually lead liquidity, do not follow it. “If you look at the last cycle, Bitcoin has been overcome first. The liquidity expired 145 days later,” he said. This reverses the causality implicit by the global M2 model and questioned the entire premise as a forward -looking tool.

His conclusion was straightforward: “You have to be very careful with excessive.

At the time of the press, Bitcoin exchanged $ 106,952.
