BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes believes Bitcoin (BTC) will tap $50K

2024-9-7 12:46

Arthur Hayes predicts Bitcoin (BTC) could fall below $50K amid market turmoil. Bitcoin’s price drop has led to $36.71M in liquidations. The Crypto Fear & Greed Index shows “extreme fear,” reflecting growing market anxiety.

In recent days, the cryptocurrency market has been awash with uncertainty, with Bitcoin’s price taking a significant tumble.

After slipping below $57,000 on September 5, Bitcoin has fallen to $55,711.26, leading to a sharp decline in market sentiment. This downturn has thrust the Crypto Fear & Greed Index back into the “extreme fear” zone, with a score of 22, a notable drop from the previous day’s “fear” score of 29.

Arthur Hayes, co-founder of the cryptocurrency exchange BitMEX, has weighed in on the current market conditions and in a post on X, predicted a further decline in Bitcoin’s price, suggesting that it could fall below $50,000 over the weekend.

$BTC is heavy, I’m gunning for sub $50k this weekend. I took a cheeky short. Pray for my soul, for I am a degen.

— Arthur Hayes (@CryptoHayes) September 6, 2024

Hayes’s prediction comes amidst a broader market slump and growing concerns about the US economy.

Over 36 million Bitcoin long positions liquidated

The recent plunge has seen Bitcoin wipe out approximately $29.7 billion from its market capitalization. According to CoinGlass data, the price dip has also resulted in over $36.71 million worth of long positions being liquidated, accounting for about 40% of today’s crypto liquidations.

The drop in Bitcoin’s value has had a ripple effect across the cryptocurrency market. Other major cryptocurrencies have also experienced declines, with Ethereum (ETH) falling by 2.23%, Solana (SOL) dropping by 2.82%, and Ripple (XRP) seeing a 2.19% slump.

This broad-based downturn has led to over $94.26 million in liquidations over the past 24 hours, with Bitcoin and Ether long positions accounting for over half of these liquidations.

The current crypto market volatility is attributed to a confluent of broader macroeconomic factors. Notably, the recent US jobs data fell short of expectations, raising concerns about a potential Federal Reserve interest rate cut and adding to the market’s apprehensions.

As Bitcoin navigates these turbulent waters, all eyes will be on whether Hayes’s prediction comes to fruition and how the broader market sentiment evolves in response to ongoing economic signals.
