is pushing toward a significant price rally. BitMEX founder Arthur Hayes believes the coin will jump to $110,000 before returning to $76,500. His prediction is tied to the Federal Reserve’s expected shift in monetary policy.
Bitcoin Surge and the Federal Reserve’s Role
Arthur Hayes has expressed confidence that Bitcoin will climb past $110,000 before seeing a ridiculous decline.
In a post on X, he explained that the new price direction will be triggered by the United States Federal Reserve’s transition from quantitative tightening (QT) to quantitative easing (QE). According to him, this shift would inject liquidity into the economy, creating the right conditions for Bitcoin price to chart a new growth course.
I bet $BTC hits $110k before it retests $76.5k.
Y? The Fed is going from QT to QE for treasuries. And tariffs don’t matter cause “transitory inflation”. JAYPOW told me so.
I’ll expound on that in my next essay, that’s the TLDR for your TikTok peanut brain.

Meanwhile, Hayes dismissed concerns about tariffs and inflation, arguing that inflation remains transitory and will not hinder Bitcoin’s growth. He believes the American Federal Reserve’s policies will be more crucial in defining the market positions.
It is important to add that Arthur Hayes’ speculation aligns with those of Markus Thielen, founder of 10X Research. In Markus’ view, the price of Bitcoin might have already found a bottom. Thielen pointed to the Federal Reserve’s dovish stance on inflation and former President Donald Trump’s flexible trade policies as factors that could boost investor confidence.
At the time of writing, CoinMarketCap data shows that BTC price was trading at $87,400.16, up 3.63% in the past 24 hours. BTC market capitalization has also climbed to approximately $2.9 trillion, indicating renewed optimism among investors.

Similarly, institutional investors’ demand for Bitcoin continues to grow. Data from Farside Investors reveals that US-listed spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) recorded net inflows of approximately $744 million last week. BlackRock alone attracted $537 million.
Also, major organizations like Strategy and Metaplanet are increasing their Bitcoin holdings.
As previously reported by Coinspeaker, Strategy recently acquired 130 Bitcoin, bringing its total holdings to 499,226 BTC. The firm purchased these units for $33.1 billion. In addition, Tokyo-based Investment firm Metaplanet recently purchased 150 BTC, bringing its total balance to 3,350 BTC.
Economic Data and Market Uncertainty
Despite the positive market outlook, not all crypto experts and influencers are convinced that Bitcoin will see an immediate breakout. For example, Thielen stated that while Bitcoin indicators are improving, there is no clear catalyst for a parabolic rally in the short term.
However, investors are closely watching the upcoming release of the US core Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) price index, a key measure of inflation.
For now, many analysts expect inflation to rise slightly, deviating from the Fed’s 2% benchmark. As the inflation concerns resurface, the Federal Reserve may delay any potential easing, which could impact the ongoing Bitcoin bullish trend.
However, if the Fed shifts toward easing as Arthur Hayes expects, Bitcoin could see further gains before experiencing the anticipated correction to $76,500.
