Bitcoin Price Rally To Follow Fed Rate Cuts On April 1, Says Arthur Hayes

Highlights

  • Bitcoin price increased by 3.5% after FOMC meeting with Arthur Hayes expecting Fed rate cuts from April.
  • Analysts highlight that even a 10% increase in liquidity could more than double Bitcoin's value.
  • While Arthur Hayes foresees QT ending by April 1, Benjamin Cowen disputes this expecting tightening to continue.

Bitcoin price could soon regain the lost momentum, as former Bitmex CEO Arthurs Hayes predicts Fed rate cuts on April 1 following yesterday’s FOMC meeting. For now, the US Federal Reserve decided to keep interest rates unchanged at 4.5% pushing BTC up by 3.5% along with strong surge in altcoins.

Arthur Hayes Predicts Bitcoin Price Bottom and Fed Rate Cuts

Commenting on the reaction of the crypto market following the FOMC meeting, BitMEX CEO Arthur Hayes stated that the recent Bitcoin price drop to $77,000 could mark its bottom. Hayes noted the conclusion of QT (quantitative tightening) by April 1, as well as the potential for bullish momentum fueled by either an exemption to the Supplementary Leverage Ratio (SLR) or the resumption of QE (quantitative easing).

Hayes also predicted that the correction in the US equity market could continue in order to push Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell toward adopting policies favorable to the Trump administration. “Stay nimble and cashed up,” Hayes advised. In a post on Truth Social, US President Donald Trump wrote:

The Fed would be MUCH better off CUTTING RATES as U.S.Tariffs start to transition (ease!) their way into the economy. Do the right thing. April 2nd is Liberation Day in America!!!

BTC Action and M2 Money Supply

Following yesterday’s FOMC meeting, Bitcoin price staged a quick recovery jumping 3.5% and moving all the way to $87,000. Popular analyst IncomeSharks noted that BTC has bounced back from the supertrend support. However, for BTC to resume the uptrend, it must close above the diagonal resistance of $86,351.

Furthermore, the Bitcoin price action could soon follow the M2 money supply which has been rising recently. M2 is expected to grow over time for various reasons, and its high correlation with Bitcoin, combined with a power-law leverage factor of 9, indicates that even small changes in liquidity can have a substantial impact on BTC price. Also, the BTC price prediction data shows it moving to $90,000 by mid-April.

For instance, a 10% increase in liquidity could result in more than doubling BTC price. On the other hand, inflows into spot Bitcoin ETFs have resumed once again with BlackRock’s IBIT leading the show.

Apart from Bitcoin, altcoins have also shown strength following the FOMC meeting. Top altcoins like Ethereum (ETH), XRP, Solana (SOL), and Dogecoin (DOGE) have bounced back 4-10% in the last 24 hours.

Will the US Fed End QT In April?

As the Trump trade war impact intensifies putting American economy on a slowdown, some market analysts believe that the Fed could be the first to blink. While addressing the media on Wednesday, Fed Chair Jerome Powell stated: “The median participant projects that the appropriate level of the Fed Funds Rate will be 3.9% at the end of this year and 3.4% at the end of next year, unchanged from December.”

Responding to Arthur Hayes, popular crypto analyst Benjamin Cowen refuted that quantitative tightening (QT) will conclude by April 1. Addressing the matter, Cowen clarified that while QT has been adjusted, it is far from over.

“QT is not ‘basically over’ on April 1,” Cowen stated. He explained that the Federal Reserve is still reducing its balance sheet by $35 billion per month through mortgage-backed securities. Although the pace of QT has slowed from $60 billion per month to $40 billion per month, the process remains ongoing.
