in an essay named ‘The Ugly’, predicts that the BTC market could drop by at least 30%, pointing out the similarities between the economic conditions of the current market and those of the late 2021 market.
Expressing his optimistic outlook about the long-term potential of Bitcoin, he opines that after the crash the market could rebound to a peak of $250,000. Let’s dive deep for more details. Ready?
Bitcoin Could Drop Before Rising to New Highs
Hayes claims that there are a lot of similarities between the economic conditions of the current market and those of the late 2021 market.
On November 10, 2021, the market touched a yearly peak of $69,106.40. However, between November 11 and December 31, the market declined by at least 30.96%. In the fourth quarter of 2021, the quarterly return rate declined from 25.5% to 5.60%.
Hayes predicts that BTC will drop to $70,000 – $75,000. Expressing his optimistic view about BTC’s long-term future, he forecasts that after the brief pullback, the market will reach as high as $250,000.
Why Bitcoin Could Pull Back?
In order to justify his argument about the potential pullback in the BTC market, Hayes highlights some key factors, like tightening of liquidity by major central banks (such as the US, China and Japan), rising bond yields and growing economic and political uncertainty in prominent economies.
Hayes’ Two Bitcoin Buying Strategies
Hayes shares at least two BTC strategies. Firstly, he states that he will consider the buyback option if the price of Bitcoin drops below the range of $75,000. Secondly, he asserts that if the price of BTC breaks above $110,000 with high volume, he will go ahead with the buyback option.
Altcoins Could Be Hit Harder Than Bitcoin
Hayes warns that if the Bitcoin market crashes, the altcoin market could fall even more. Meanwhile, he highlights that a big altcoin liquidation could be a buying opportunity.
Arthur Hayes believes that while Bitcoin might see a 30% drop, the long-term outlook remains bullish. He expects BTC to hit $250,000, but warns of economic challenges ahead. His strategy focuses on buying below $75,000 or above $110,000 with strong momentum.
