Liquidity 101: Treasury General Account (TGA) (Part 3)
When the TGA drains, Bitcoin pumps. When the TGA fills, Bitcoin bleeds.
This is the final piece of the puzzle.
Welcome to Part 3, the part nobody in retail even knows exists.
You’ve learned:
Part 1: Repo = emergency liquidity injection
Part 2: Reverse Repo = liquidity vacuum
Now we finish the trilogy with the most powerful liquidity lever of them all:
THE TGA: Treasury General Account
This is the U.S. Treasury’s “checking account” at the Federal Reserve.

And it controls how much liquidity is available to the entire financial system.
Let me tell you something simple:
When the TGA drains, liquidity flows into markets.
When the TGA fills, liquidity flows out of markets.
This single account has triggered:
the 2017 melt-up
the 2020 recovery
the 2021 bubble
the 2023 reflation
and yes… the setup we are seeing again in 2025–2026
Let’s break this down.
What is the TGA and why does it matter?
The Treasury General Account is where the U.S. government stores its cash.
When the TGA goes UP:
Treasury is collecting cash, from taxes, bond issuance, etc.
This pulls liquidity OUT of the system.
When the TGA goes DOWN:
Treasury is spending cash, issuing benefits, sending payments, funding budgets.
This injects liquidity INTO the system.
The TGA is not just accounting.
It’s a liquidity weapon.
And it moves BILLIONS, sometimes HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS, at once.
That’s enough to send crypto flying or crashing.
Why TGA moves markets (especially crypto)
Treasury spending is direct liquidity.
When the TGA decreases, cash enters:
banks
institutions
contractors
households
businesses
And that liquidity does NOT stay idle.
It flows into:
stocks
credit
commodities
and eventually, crypto
Crypto is the highest beta liquidity absorber in the financial world.
So when cash enters the system, crypto always reacts first and most violently.
And here’s the critical rule:
TGA DOWN = markets UP
TGA UP = markets DOWN
Look at any chart, this is a law.
Every major rally was triggered by TGA drainage
This is the part professionals study and retail ignores.
2017 Melt-Up
TGA drained massively → liquidity surged → Bitcoin went from $1k to $20k.
2020 Recovery
Stimulus + TGA drainage → BTC went from $4k to $69k.
2023 Reflation
TGA collapsed after debt ceiling resolution → BTC went from $15k to $40k.
2025 Setup
We are entering the SAME PHASE again.
Treasury is preparing for:
Election cycle spending
Fiscal expansion
Stimulus programs
Infrastructure payouts
Defense and foreign commitments
All of these require spending → TGA goes DOWN → liquidity goes UP.
And guess who benefits the MOST?
Crypto.
Not bonds.
Not savings.
Not the S&P.
Crypto.
This is why the next liquidity wave will trigger the final altseason rotation.
You are NOT early.
You are NOT late.
You are right on time.
How to read the TGA for trading signals
Pros use the TGA like a weather forecast.
Retail uses hope.
Professionals use liquidity.
Here’s the framework:
When TGA is RISING → liquidity is draining → expect choppiness, pullbacks, slow bleeding.
When TGA is FLAT → neutral liquidity → risk assets chop sideways.
When TGA is FALLING → liquidity is being released → rallies accelerate.
If you combine:
Repo (Part 1)
Reverse Repo (Part 2)
TGA (Part 3)
You get a SUPERIOR macro liquidity model that front-runs:
Bitcoin bottoms
Bitcoin breakouts
Ethereum rotations
Altseason triggers
Crypto tops
Recession timing
Macro risk cycles
This is how professionals trade.
This is why institutions always seem “early” and retail always seems “late.”
They’re not early.
They are reading liquidity.
Where we are TODAY
Here’s the full picture:
✔ Repo injections show stress is being smoothed
✔ Reverse Repo is nearly exhausted
✔ TGA is preparing for major spending into 2026
This is the exact liquidity recipe for:
1. A Bitcoin higher low
2. A rally back to the top of the range
3. A final euphoric altseason
4. A cycle peak between Q4 2025 – Q1 2026
The chart patterns don’t matter unless liquidity supports them.
Liquidity supports them.
This is why I keep telling you:
The market is NOT over.
The real move hasn’t even started yet.
Every time sentiment hits extreme fear, liquidity quietly positions before you notice.
It’s happening again.
What to do now
Use this knowledge to position intelligently:
Don’t overleverage
Don’t panic sell at cycle-defining levels
Don’t FOMO chase
Hold your BTC and ETH cores
Use your alt basket with discipline
Keep USDT for sniper entries
Prepare for volatility
Don’t break your psychology
Stay in the game long enough to win
Liquidity 101 is now complete.
You’re no longer trading blind.

Stop trading alone.
This cycle will reward the prepared
and destroy the emotional.
Now that you understand Repo, RRP, and TGA…
You’re ready for what comes next.
