The price performance of Bitcoin is drawing the attention of market experts. Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX, is sounding the alarm bell on the coin’s trajectory. Hayes recently warned of a possible drop to $70,000–$75,000 in the near future. This prediction comes amid global economic instability and changing market conditions.

Hayes said this fall could be necessary for a correction before the major increase of cryptocurrencies. Though his tone is cautionary, his long-term view is still mostly positive. Reversing the order of my tryptic essay series. The Ugly will be published tomorrow morning. I am calling for a $70k to $75k correction in $BTC, a mini financial crisis, and a resumption of money printing that will send us to $250k by the end of the year. pic.twitter.com/wohvbKkXOf — Arthur Hayes (@CryptoHayes) January 27, 2025 Liquidations And Market Reactions The market is rather volatile. Recently falling under the $100,000 support level, Bitcoin has caused extensive liquidations worth around $854 million. For some people in the market, these liquidations highlight the delicate balance between hope and worry in bitcoin markets. Corrections are a normal part of market cycles, but the speed and size of the sell-offs show that traders are more sensitive right now. Divergent Viewpoints From Specialists Although Hayes anticipates a significant downturn, not many analysts concur with his perspective. Georgii Verbitskii, the founder of TYMIO, perceives the current decline as a logical consequence of the extended bullish trend. Verbitskii suggests that the market may experience a more moderate downturn, with Bitcoin stabilizing at approximately $87,000 rather than falling to $75,000.

He believes Bitcoin could hit $250,000 by late 2025, as central banks around the world ease monetary policies. This view reflects a common belief among crypto fans that digital assets will thrive as the global economy changes. As per Coingecko, Bitcoin was trading at $99,242, showing a 5.1% drop in the past 24 hours and 7.5% over the past week. The asset’s path remains unpredictable, swinging between calm and chaos. Whether Hayes’s prediction of a $75,000 dip happens or not, Bitcoin continues to captivate investors everywhere. Featured image from DALL-E, chart from TradingView
