$BNB BitMEX co-founder predicts a sharp drop for cryptocurrencies
Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX and one of the leading cryptocurrency analysts, is not optimistic about the appreciation of Bitcoin (BTC). While the market is excited about the new highs, Hayes says there will still be a sharp correction in the prices of digital assets.
This prediction was the subject of the latest analysis published by Hayes in his newsletter on Tuesday (17). Interestingly, the analysis came just before the fall of BTC, which depreciated by 4% in the last 24 hours.
Whales Accumulate Ethereum, Could Lead to New High
The price of Ethereum (ETH) recently broke above $$ 4K for the first time since March 2024, marking a 25% gain in the last 30 days.
However, the 7-day MVRV ratio, now at -1.35%, suggests that short-term holders are facing unrealized losses, indicating a potential for further downside before a recovery.
Historically, ETH tends to bounce back after the MVRV drops to -4% or lower, aligning with increased whale accumulation as addresses holding at least a thousand ETH units have steadily increased in December.
While the cryptocurrency faces key resistance at $$ 3.987, breaking it could lead to $$ 4.100 and beyond. However, bearish signals from the converging EMA lines may test its support at US$ 3.500 or lower.

How far can Bitcoin go? Analyst points to possible bottom after all-time high
Technical analysis of Bitcoin price
Arthur Driessen, analyst at Crypto Investidor, suggests caution for investors at this time. According to him, the rejection at the level of US$ 100 thousand may indicate a correction in the short term. If the support at US$ 95 thousand is lost, BTC may retreat to the range between US$ 90 thousand and US$ 88 thousand, signaling the beginning of a deeper correction.
Possibility of resuming the bullish trend
On the other hand, if the support at US$ 95 thousand holds, there is an expectation of a new test at the resistance of US$ 102 thousand. Breaking this barrier could propel Bitcoin to higher levels, with targets at $$ 107K and later $$ 115K. This move would be a strong sign of continuation of the Bull Market.
