BTC to the Moon?! 🚀Hayes Predicts CRAZY Gains!

by

Oh, darling, Arthur Hayes, that flamboyant BitMEX chap, has a theory. A positively divine theory, you see. He posits that these upcoming U.S. Treasury bond shenanigans—buybacks, to be precise—could inject a tsunami of liquidity into the markets. The result? Bitcoin sashaying its way to a modest $110,000, or perhaps even a dizzying $200,000. How utterly fabulous! 🥂

In a Substack missive (dated April 23rd, naturally), Hayes, with a twinkle in his eye, pointed to the Treasury’s rather audacious plan. Issue new debt, you see, to repurchase older, less glamorous bonds. Off-the-run Treasuries, they’re called. So frightfully dull, they don’t trade as frequently. Buying them back, apparently, smooths the bond market and offers arbitrage opportunities for those terribly clever institutional investors. Sounds thrilling, doesn’t it? 🤔

Hayes, in his infinite wisdom, suggests that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent will likely lean on these bond shenanigans to keep the market from becoming utterly unhinged. Widening U.S. deficits and dwindling tax revenue, you know. According to Arthur, this is all rather similar to quantitative easing, that strategy central banks use to flood the market with money and stimulate the economy. Quite ingenious, really. 💡

But In this particular instance, liquidity conditions are being eased not by the terribly serious Federal Reserve, but by the U.S. Treasury. By lowering the yields on those ancient bonds, this buyback strategy encourages investors to flutter their eyelashes at riskier assets. Cryptocurrencies, for example. Oh, the scandal! 😈

And at the same time, when bond markets behave themselves, investors feel ever so safe borrowing money to make truly spectacular bets. This extra buying power can lead to rather dramatic price swings in those risqué assets like Bitcoin (BTC), pushing prices up faster than a debutante’s reputation can be ruined. 💸

Hayes points out that this pattern is reminiscent of late 2022, when a Bitcoin rally was fueled by growing market liquidity. Most investors, he laments, are too busy worrying about when the Fed will cut interest rates. They’re missing the fact that the central bank has already slowed its quantitative tightening, easing conditions behind the scenes like a mischievous imp. 🤡

If liquidity continues to flow like champagne at a gala, Bitcoin could reach $110,000 and then, with a flourish, surge towards $200,000, Hayes predicts. And once BTC breaches that level, altcoins may see an even bigger surge as investors, ever the fickle creatures, rotate into higher-risk assets. How utterly daring! 🎉
