Crypto investor sentiment has plunged to “Extreme Fear” as BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes predicts Bitcoin will drop below $50K this weekend following the release of US jobs data today.
The Crypto Fear And Greed Index slumped 7 points over the past 24 hours, bringing it to 22 after a 12-point drop in the last week.
Arthur Hayes Shorts BTC
In a Sept. 6 post on X, Hayes told his 534.2K followers that “BTC is heavy.” He added that he is “gunning” for a drop in Bitcoin’s price below $50K this weekend, before also revealing that he has entered a short position for the largest crypto by market cap.
$BTC is heavy, I’m gunning for sub $50k this weekend. I took a cheeky short. Pray for my soul, for I am a degen.

The prediction by Hayes comes after BTC fell more than 2% in the last 24 hours to trade at $55,698.20 as of 3:45 a.m. EST.
Data from CoinGlass shows that around $98 million was liquidated from the crypto market over the past day as traders prepare for the upcoming release of US Jobs data, which will be a pivotal to how much the Federal Reserve cuts interest rates.
