Liquidity Event Classifier
Date: 2026-08-21 Event Type: Global liquidity (w) Cadence: Weekly event (w) (week of Aug 17–21) Liquidity Direction: Liquidity injection / support Magnitude: +24.00 score Theory (risk/crypto): ▲ Liquidity injection / support Actual (risk/crypto): ▼ / risk-off Crypto Bias: Supportive if Risk Gate confirms; weaker if dollar/yield or reserve stress offsets it. Crypto Impact: Supportive if Risk Gate confirms and dollar/yield pressure stays contained. ▼ Dominance-weighted index -2.1%; BTC -1.8%, ETH -4.3%, SOL -0.6% Meme Beta Impact: Highest-beta beneficiaries, but only after BTC/SOL and Risk Gate confirm. ▼ Equal-weighted index -3.2%; DOGE -2.5%, SHIB -11.9%, PEPE -0.8%, BONK +4.5%, PENGU -5.2% Transmission Path: Global money backdrop improves -> World Money supports risk transmission if gates are not tight. Most Sensitive: BTC first, then SOL/high beta if Risk Gate opens Main Caveat: Impact can be muted when another liquidity channel offsets the move. Triggered Events / Possible Market Impact: - Global liquidity (w): Liquidity injection / support; magnitude +24.00 score; market impact: Supportive if Risk Gate confirms; weaker if dollar/yield or reserve stress offsets it.; path: Global money backdrop improves -> World Money supports risk transmission if gates are not tight.
This automatically translates complex macro events — such as TGA changes, Treasury issuance, RRP shifts, Fed balance sheet moves, and funding stress — into clear liquidity impact signals for BTC, ETH, SOL, and crypto beta.
Track the mechanics: TGA ⓘ, RRP ⓘ, bank reserves ⓘ, and the risk gate ⓘ.
