HTX Research's Andy appeared as a guest on the HTX Expert Lecture Series: For Q3, BTC's direction hinges on liquidity, while ETH's direction hinges on regulation.

2026.07.20 21:54:58

HTX Research Head and Lead Analyst Andy Liu recently guested at Huobi’s Expert Lecture Hall, delivering a presentation themed “Q3 2026 Outlook: The New Order of the Crypto Market Amid Global Liquidity Repricing”. He noted that BTC is no longer merely a native crypto asset, but a proxy for global U.S. dollar liquidity. The three core variables driving BTC’s performance in Q3 are: liquidity for direction, ETFs for elasticity, and the U.S. dollar for risk. On Ethereum, Andy Liu highlighted that the current issue facing Ethereum is not whether its ecosystem is growing, but whether that growth can translate into value for ETH. In the medium to long term, Ethereum remains one of the most critical settlement and application infrastructures in crypto. However, in the short term, ETH must re-prove that ecosystem growth can be converted into ETH value. Thus, the core assessment for ETH in Q3 is: regulation for direction, DeFi for elasticity, and fees and burns for confirmation.

Willy Woo: Bitcoin is now significantly decoupling from U.S. stocks, a trend similar to the prelude to Bitcoin's 2017 bull market.

Crypto analyst Willy Woo has published a post stating that Bitcoin is significantly decoupling from the U.S. stock market, with the last instance of such a high degree of decoupling occurring in 2015 — the prelude to Bitcoin’s 2017 bull run. In 2014, the stock market remained in a bull market, while BTC experienced a bear market unrelated to stock market trends. From 2015 to 2016, the stock market fluctuated weakly for two consecutive years, yet BTC entered a bull market; then in 2017, when the stock market also turned bullish, BTC surged even more sharply. Willy Woo believes the current market landscape mirrors that period: Bitcoin’s liquidity is continuing to strengthen, while the stock market is starting to show signs of fragility.
