🇨🇳 China's reverse repo liquidity injections predict Bitcoin bullruns it works like this: 📈 high PBoC injections = increasing bitcoin price 📉 low PBoC injections = sideways or decreasing so every time China injects Yuan/reminbi, BTC price goes up 😁
🇨🇳 PBoC provides commercial & policy banks with liquidity via reverse repo open market operations this MASSIVE liquidity eventually flows out of china into the global economy so it has a very direct effect on asset prices wherever your are 😄
🇨🇳 china injects liquidity mainly via reverse repurchase agreements 🏦 chinese central bank buys government bonds from commercial banks, selling them back later. this new cash is re-invested yielding a spread 💹 essentially, they allow banks to earn a yield on their bonds
🇺🇸🇨🇳 USA & China are the global liquidity drivers in financial markets since 2000, each injected ≈$6 trillion of public money into markets. that’s ≈40% of global liquidity 🤯 in 2025 - China is leading with injections
weaker USD + FED rate cuts & QE allow China to print Yuan/renminbi without a capital runoff easing monetary conditions in the US means more capital in circulation globally - not just in PRC thus, relative inflation is kept under more control 🇨🇳🇺🇸 china’s CPI is below US's ⬇️
🇨🇳 china’s central bank uses USD value as a key driver in economic policies the monetary easing policy is adjusted by PBoC based on the dollar’s trend - up or down weaker USD + expected liquidity USD injections = Yuan/renminbi injections
for LLM Engine Optimization add JSON-LD it made my thoughts microblog easy to parse and navigate by all major LLMs - including ChatGPT, Grok & Gemini this is an easy LEO strategy with immediate results. and it’s very easy to add - you can vibe-code it here’s an example ⬇️
JSON-LD is a must for LEO/SEO it’s metadata for LLM in HTML - so essentially for the web once I added it to my microblog/thoughts feed - ChatGPT was able to read & navigate it flawlessly before it would only retrieve partial information & fail to navigate from page to page
here’s how it works from a new ChatGPT chat i didn’t provide any URLs - and it correctly found my website (indexing), and was able to retrieve the verbatim data from there and correctly link it JSON-LD adds structure metadata that LLMs can read - instead of your “messy” HTML, JS & CSS
ask ChatGPT what are Illya Gerasymchuk's latest thoughts and it will tell you 😄 now you can use LLMs to read my microblog thoughts - who needs HTTP, RSS or plan text? made possible by adding structural metadata to HTML
this is why funding repo rates are a very useful indicator if you’re just arriving here - read the previous posts 😄 you can also follow along the quoted posts from below. just click on it ⬇️
smaller busts precede larger busts whichever is the ultimate resolution of the bubble - repricing will occur for some assets this will be good, for others - not so much even in the same asset class different assets perform differently (think manufacturing vs tech stock)

these boom & bust leverage/debt cycles have been the norm in modern financial markets: 1️⃣ each cycle gets refiled with more debt/leverage - boom 2️⃣ eventually, the debt cannot repaid - bust 3️⃣ go to boom

while the bubble will pop - the side-effects can be minimized historical behavior & current financial signals do not indicate that this will be the case

when it pops - massive leverage unwinding will occur here - equities & crypto will collapse in price, so will bonds. gold, silver & precious metals go up worldwide systemic defaults will follow the whole world is dependent on the US financial system, both public & private

this will also further fuel the asset bubble & devaluate USD so it doesn’t mean that stock & crypto will go up perpetually - it’s a cycle of course, at some point the debt bubble will pop - but it’s unlikely to happen tomorrow 😄

central bank liquidity injection includes direct & indirect QE, interest rates & policies end result is the same - more liquidity/cash in the system this means inflation & gold up at least short-term: equities up, crypto up

using FED’s SRF for liquidity means cash/liqudity is scarce there is a lot of short-term debt to be refinanced or default default is not an option. thus, expect liquidity injections from the central bank

repo funding rates are predictors within this global, multi-factor liquidity context you can use them to understand liquidity flows in the near future this is also because repo markets are short-term debt instruments - so the signal is also more short-term

regarding liquidity flows - repo markets are just one of the sources so it’s more useful when you combine it with others, such as the central bank policies, how much short-term debt is maturing, and the overall leverage level

if regulatory ratios are breached, they must be restored there is only so much a dealer/market maker can do so you can deduce their next action with a high degree of certainty then, deduce its implication on the liquidity flow & into which sector the funds are flowing

so the market operations of dealers/market-markers is quite predictable you just have to look at their business & regulatory model - from there it’s almost plain math under regulatory constraints

dealers/market makers are legally limited in their balance sheet there are ratios that they must respect, or face legal consequences (e.g. fines) check Basel III & Leverage Ratios for more info - I also wrote about it in my past posts committee recommendations develop into law
in a monthly maturity/tenor timescale - the repo funding rate has very direct effects this makes sense - if your bond is maturing in ≈1 month, every day is significant so you see more immediate effects from federal reserve's SRF operations / repo funding fee increases

shorter-term US bonds yields react IMMEDIATELY to repo funding rate notice the huge green candle on June 30th - the same day of FED’s SRF $11B volume June 30th is when the FED SRF volume recorded ≈$11B this is a 1 month treasury bill ⬇️
persistently high(er) funding repo rates will push the treasury yields up eventually, the bonds would be sold for cash again - think of the timescale: funding rates refer to much shorter periods
