"When technical analysis shows you the McDonald's logo and Arthur Hayes predicts you're going to end up booking a job there." 🍟Not only is Bitcoin struggling to stay above $56,000, but Arthur Hayes, the co-founder of #BitMEX  , predicts that the price could continue to fall below $50,000 over the weekend. 😱 This crash could lead to a further 12% decline, and we already know what that means: extreme fear is gripping the market and memes of traders "going back to work at #McDonalds  " feel more real than ever. 🍔💼
At this point, the Fear and Greed Index is already in the "extreme fear (DEATH)" zone, and looking at the chart with that perfect McDonald's "M", we can only hope that after each drop, the next job is not to prepare combos. 😅 But hey, those who hold on know that #Bitcoin❗️   always has surprises in store. 🌑📉
If Arthur Hayes is right, see you at McDonald's! But be careful, after every drop there is usually a rise. It will be today or it will not be haha ​​Stay strong, hodlers! 💪$BTC $BCH

Crypto in ‘extreme fear’ as Arthur Hayes tips ‘sub $50K’ Bitcoin weekend

Crypto market sentiment has fallen back into “extreme fear” as Bitcoin briefly fell below $56,000, while BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes predicts it could sink at another 12% to fall under $50,000 over the weekend.

The Crypto Fear & Greed Index — which measures market sentiment and trends to give a total possible score of 100 — hit a score of 22 on Sept. 6, showing “extreme fear,” a seven-point drop from the day prior that pinned sentiment at “fear.”

It’s the lowest score and price since the index hit 20 on Aug. 8 and the first time it has re-entered the “extreme fear” zone since Aug. 12, when the index hit 25.

Bitcoin (BTC) is down 2.7% in the past 24 hours and a low of $55,838 after a fall from above $58,000, wiping $29.7 billion from its market capitalization, according to Cointelegraph Markets Pro.

It has since slightly recovered from its low to trade at $56,533.

“BTC is heavy,” Hayes, the former boss of crypto exchange BitMEX, said in a Sept. 6 X post. “I’m gunning for sub $50k this weekend. I took a cheeky short.”

Meanwhile, Bitcoin has been struggling to gain momentum amid worries of a sluggish United States economy.

US jobs data released on Sept. 5 fell short of economist expectations and has raised further concern about an expected Federal Reserve interest rate cut.

Bitcoin’s 24-hour price dive dragged down the price of other major cryptocurrencies on the day, with Ether (ETH) falling 2.23%, Solana (SOL) dropping 2.82%, and XRP (XRP) seeing a 2.19% slump.

The across-the-board price dives led to $94.26 million in liquidations in the last day, led by those betting Bitcoin’s price would rise, CoinGlass data shows.

Just over $71 million worth of long bets in total were liquidated, including $36.71 million Bitcoin longs — accounting for nearly 40% of the day’s liquidations — followed by $17.36 million in liquidated ETH long bets.
