BitMEX CEO Arthur Hayes Turns Bullish! BTC at $10,000 “Is My Number” For 2019, He Predicts


It seems that crypto bears are losing ground and the strong 2018 bearish trend is giving way to a period of relative stability prior to an upcoming bull run. Arthur Hayes, CEO of BitMEX expressed this in his “Crypto Trader Digest” of March 22, 2019

Arthur Hayes is known in the crypto verse for his
controversial opinions, which on many occasions have gone against the trends
and sentiment of the community. However, time has proven him right, showing
that as an investor, he knows when to be long or short without letting his
feelings affect his judgment.

The Worst Times Are Over… BTC is [Slowly] Heading To Green Days

After predicting a drop in the BTC to sub-5k figures, Mr. Hayes seems to have joined those who consider that Crypto Winter is over. In the publication, Hayes explains that although it is not yet possible to speak of a bull run, there are signs that point to a small growth by the end of 2019.

“All is not lost; nothing goes up or down in a straight line. 2019 will be boring, but green shoots will appear towards year end.”

The market has already surpassed the critical levels of 2018. This behavior, coupled with the growing enthusiasm around altcoin trading may result in a stimulus that protects the BTC from retesting 2018 supports changing trends for the coming months.

Hayes is optimistic. He explains that because of the same
market sentiment, it may be difficult to quickly get out of this “boring”
period of stability. However, once we surpass the 10k mark, 20k seems to be an
easier goal to achieve:

“The 2019 chop will be intense, but the markets will claw back to $10,000. That is a very significant psychological barrier. It’s a nice round sexy number. $20,000 is the ultimate recovery. However, it took 11 months from $1,000 to $10,000, but less than one month from $10,000 to $20,000 back to $10,000.


Melissa Lee peep this. $10,000 is my number, and I’m stickin’ to it.”


Altcoin Season is Here?

Another interesting comment relates to altcoins. Hayes shares the opinion of other analysts like Mati Greenspan, who are confident that the market is reacting positively to trading. Despite some sarcasm, Hayes seems to be positive that the alt season is here:

Do not despair. CRipple is still worth more than zero. And Justin Sun’s new age religion TRON, paired with the Pope CZ, tells us there are those still willing to eat shitcoins with a smile.
