The current market landscape for Bitcoin remains largely bearish following a net 2.41% loss over the past week. While Bitcoin is presently stabilizing around $68,000, the digital asset remains about 46% off its all-time high ($126,100) recorded in late 2025.

In a QuickTake post on the CryptoQuant platform, a pseudonymous analyst, MorenoDV, explained how the Stablecoin Supply Ratio (SSR) acts as a liquidity signal for Bitcoin and why the current level around 9.5–9.6 is important.

SSR measures Bitcoin’s market cap relative to stablecoin supply. In other words, it reflects how much “dry powder“ (buying power) exists in the market. High SSR shows that Bitcoin’s market cap is large relative to stablecoins – less sidelined buying power, while Low SSR indicates stablecoin supply relatively strong to Bitcoin — more potential buying power available.

According to analyst MorenoDV, the SSR is not a straightforward bullish or bearish indicator; its significance depends on the direction of the market’s approach to the 9.5 level. When the SSR falls towards 9.5 from higher levels, it typically signals strengthening stablecoin liquidity, which has often led to Bitcoin finding support or reversing upward in past cycles.

Conversely, if the SSR rises toward 9.5 from lower levels, it suggests fading liquidity, historically preceding local tops and short-term corrections.

Analyst MorenoDV describes the 9.5 level as a liquidity equilibrium zone due to its ability to act as support or resistance based on the market approach. As the SSR navigates this critical zone, market traders will closely observe if stablecoin inflows are maintained at a constant level, or if there is an impending liquidity exhaustion, which would be indicated by a rejection at this equilibrium zone.

As of writing, Bitcoin’s price stands at ~$68,840, reflecting a 3.97% increase over the past 24 hours. Meanwhile, its daily trading volume is down by 15.3% and valued at $37.33 billion. According to data from Coincodex, the Fear and Greed index stands at 9, indicating extreme levels of caution among investors.

However, Coincodex analysts and investors will gradually adopt a more bullish stance, as their projections hint at a $73,769 target in five days and $77,687 in a month. Meanwhile, a three-month target of $72,480, suggest some levels retracement following the initial surge, in line with a classic ascending pattern.
