In his latest article, Arthur Hayes, the outspoken co-founder of BitMEX, delves into recent macroeconomic shifts and their implications for the cryptocurrency market.
Hayes Criticizes G7 Banks, Affirms Bitcoin Investment Amidst Currency Policy Concerns
Hayes didn't mince words when he labeled the G7 central banks as a group of fools, expressing his disapproval of their policies.
In response, Hayes announced his intention to continue investing in Bitcoin and altcoins, citing the policies of G7 central banks. He reaffirmed the validity of his earlier prediction based on the dollar-yen relationship.
According to Hayes, in an effort to bolster the weakening Japanese Yen, the FED would print new dollars and engage in an unlimited dollar-yen currency swap with the Bank of Japan. This maneuver would likely strengthen the yen and weaken the dollar, potentially fueling a rally in risky assets like Bitcoin.
Hayes Forecasts Global Rate Cuts, Questions Timing of FED's Move Amid Political Considerations
Reflecting on recent interest rate cuts by the European Central Bank (ECB) and the Bank of Canada (BOC), Hayes predicted that other major central banks would follow suit.
He speculated on whether the FED would slash interest rates before the presidential elections, suggesting that while such a move could weaken the dollar, it might not be politically expedient for the current administration.
Despite his skepticism about an immediate rate cut by the FED, Hayes believed that the US central bank would eventually join the rate-cutting trend as other major central banks began reducing rates.
Hayes Anticipates Bitcoin Rally Amidst Global Rate Cuts, Eyes FED Meeting for Market Direction
Hayes foresees a potential uptrend in Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, especially following the ECB and BOC interest rate cuts.
He emphasized the significance of the FED's upcoming meeting on June 12, suggesting that it could influence the direction of Bitcoin's price.
Encouraging investors to take long positions in Bitcoin and selected altcoins such as DOGE and SHIB, Hayes asserted that the cryptocurrency market was poised for a resurgence.
In his rallying cry, Hayes urged investors to capitalize on the situation, emphasizing the enduring battle between the cryptocurrency realm and traditional finance, a conflict that dates back to Bitcoin's inception in 2009.
