- Market sentiment remains cautious ahead of the upcoming US Federal Reserve meeting.
Bitcoin (BTC) experienced a notable decline of around 6%, with many altcoins, including Ethereum (ETH), seeing even steeper corrections of 8% to 13%. The market’s caution is palpable as participants wait for the US Federal Reserve’s interest rate decision at the upcoming FOMC meeting. The excitement surrounding the inauguration of US President Trump seems to have waned, leading to a more subdued outlook for cryptocurrencies.
Arthur Hayes, the former CEO of BitMEX, has warned that Bitcoin could potentially drop to $70,000 before experiencing any sustainable price recovery. In a recent post on X, Hayes referred to this potential price dip as a “mini financial crisis” that would be short-lived. He believes that once the Federal Reserve resumes its money printing activities, Bitcoin's bull run could regain momentum and push toward a target of $250,000 by 2025. Hayes’ prediction aligns with the broader sentiment among many analysts who anticipate a bullish future for Bitcoin in the long term.
At the time of this writing, Bitcoin was trading at approximately $99,090, down 5.7% in the last 24 hours. Bitcoin had previously been expected to maintain a support level around $101,000 to stave off further declines. However, with Bitcoin’s current price significantly lower and the market awaiting the Federal Reserve's decision, Hayes' prediction of a potential drop to $70,000 is gaining attention. To regain upward momentum, Bitcoin would need to break the resistance level of $106,000 and push toward new highs.
