The post Brace for Impact! Hayes Predicts 30% Bitcoin Price Dip, Eyes Dogwifhat Bounce appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

In a recent Substack post, Arthur Hayes, the co-founder, and former CEO of BitMEX, presents insightful perspectives on the future of Bitcoin, offering technical analysis and strategic moves that demand attention.

Read more what he has to say, and more importantly – why.

BTC Expected to Dip to $30k – $35k

Building on this analysis, Hayes forecasts a significant 30% correction from the recent high of the spot Bitcoin Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) at $48,000. If this projection materializes, he envisions Bitcoin dropping into the $30,000 to $35,000 price range.

Coinpedia had earlier reported Arthur Hayes, the CEO of BitMEX, revealing his strategic move in a recent tweet. Hayes discloses his acquisition of “Put Options” with a strike price set at $35,000. With cryptocurrency already facing selling pressure, Hayes anticipates a potential 10-15% decline, pushing the price below the crucial support level of $40,000.

Understanding the Fed’s Role

Despite the predicted storm, Hayes sees a potential silver lining. He anticipates relief measures from the Federal Reserve to stimulate economic growth. Hayes asserts that cryptocurrencies remain crucial hedges against inflation, especially in the face of mainstream banks potentially teetering on the edge of collapse.

Altcoin Portfolio Shift

Confirming the sale of his positions in Solana (SOL) and BONK, Hayes, a staunch supporter of the Solana ecosystem, acknowledges a potential continuation of a downward trend for Solana. This comes as the asset experienced a significant 12.3% loss in the past week amid an intense market sell-off.

Hayes, however, emphasized his strategic pivot, highlighting that if Bitcoin’s price falls below $35,000, he plans to accumulate Dogwifhat (WIF). This move reflects his confidence in the meme coin’s potential to outperform as the market eventually enters the recovery phase.
