Bitcoin’s $80K Tango: Fed QT Ends & Hayes Goes Bananas! 🍌

by

The dollar’s doing a little jig, the Fed’s stopped strangling liquidity like a grumpy librarian shushing toddlers, and banks are suddenly lending money like it’s candy at a parade-all of which means Bitcoin’s wobble into the $80,000s might just be the world’s most expensive trampoline, according to Arthur Hayes.

Crypto sentiment stopped hyperventilating into a paper bag as liquidity expectations did a quick U-turn. BitMEX’s co-founder and professional fortune-teller Arthur Hayes took to X (formerly Twitter, before Elon turned it into a circus) to explain how the Fed’s latest monetary shenanigans might give Bitcoin a little nudge.

Hayes, in his usual cryptic-but-confident style, declared:

We’re flopping around below $90K like a fish out of water-maybe one more dramatic belly flop into the low $80Ks, but I reckon $80K will hold like a stubborn mule.

According to Hayes, dollar liquidity got a tiny sip of espresso, thanks to the Fed finally stopping its quantitative tightening (QT) on Dec. 1-which means no more dollar-sucking vacuum cleaner. Oh, and U.S. banks suddenly remembered how to lend money again in November. Miracles never cease! 🎩✨

Back in October, the Fed-those wizards of monetary mischief-announced they’d halt QT to avoid turning the financial system into a dried-up raisin. Ending QT means fewer dollars vanishing into the abyss, and more credit floating around like confetti at a parade-great news for crypto’s party.

Bitcoin, ever the drama queen, has been sulking below $90K before taking a quick dive toward the $80Ks-just as Hayes predicted. He’s sticking to his guns, insisting $80K will hold firmer than a toddler’s grip on a lollipop. He’s nibbling at current prices like a cautious squirrel but plans to go full-on buffet mode early next year, treating any dip near $80K as a “BUY NOW BEFORE IT’S GONE” fire sale.

Analysts (the ones who haven’t lost their shirts yet) argue that better dollar flow, less Fed-induced panic, and banks actually doing their jobs could give crypto a boost-proving once again that Bitcoin laughs in the face of tightening cycles like a rebellious teenager.

FAQ (Because People Can’t Google Anymore) 🤷‍♂️

  • Why is $80K Bitcoin’s new “safe space”?
    Because dollar liquidity isn’t being sucked into a black hole anymore, and macro signals have stopped screaming “THE SKY IS FALLING!”-making $80K look comfy for long-term hodlers.
  • How does the Fed stopping QT help Bitcoin?
    No more QT = fewer dollars disappearing = more money sloshing around = crypto gets a nice little floatie in the liquidity pool. 🏊‍♂️
  • Why should Bitcoin care if banks lend money?
    More lending = more credit = more risk appetite = Bitcoin goes brrrrr. It’s not rocket science, folks. 🚀
  • When should I go all-in on Bitcoin?
    Hayes says nibble now, feast later-$80K is the floor, and early next year might be prime time for a crypto shopping spree. 🛒
