Hayes projects a <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/bitcoin-faces-risk-of-further-decline-if-it-drops-below-short-term-holder-cost-basis-report\/amp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">further breakdown in Bitcoin\u2019s value<\/a>, suggesting an imminent drop between $70,000 and $75,000.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>Bitcoin Price Crash To $70,000 A Possibility\u00a0<\/h2>\n<p>The crypto founder shared a 2-hour Bitcoin price chart from BitMEX, explaining how the pioneer cryptocurrency could experience this decline and citing macroeconomic factors tied to United States (US) President <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/trump-tariffs-hit-crypto-bitcoin-crashes-to-93k\/amp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Donald Trump<\/a> as a trigger for this price drawdown.<\/p>\n<p>Hayes suggests that the market is entering a cooling phase, characterized by a potential retracement to pre-election liquidity levels. A cooling phase is a period during which the price of a cryptocurrency declines and consolidates as the market attempts to stabilize. It typically comes after a cryptocurrency experiences an <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/bitcoin-breaks-104000-fear-greed-index-high-bullish\/amp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">explosive price increase<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Looking at his price chart, the BitMEX Co-founder pinpointed a demand zone around the blue-shaded area between $76,000 and $65,000. This price range serves as a critical support area, where traders expect significant buying interest, enough to prevent further price declines.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" class=\"size-large wp-image-703859\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Bitcoin-chart-from-Arthur-Hayes.jpg?w=512&#038;resize=512%2C320\" alt=\"Bitcoin\" width=\"512\" height=\"320\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Hayes believes that the Bitcoin price&#8217;s possible decline to $70,000 hinges on Trump\u2019s budget and debt ceiling decision. He suggests that if Trump fails to pass a budget that increases spending and raises the debt ceiling, then further market capitulation could occur. This means that the market may undergo a <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/largest-bitcoin-sell-off-of-2025-79-3k-btc-sold-at-a-loss-in-24-hours\/amp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">rapid sell-off by a large number of investors<\/a>, triggering a panic that could lead to further declines in the Bitcoin price.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, if Trump\u2019s influence over the Republican Party weakens, Hayes indicates that market uncertainty could grow, potentially triggering a continuation of the current Bitcoin downturn. Moreover, a debt ceiling reduction could negatively impact the market\u2019s liquidation and fuel more price fluctuations.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Overall, Haye\u2019s bearish outlook for Bitcoin is tied to Trump\u2019s fiscal influence. The BitMEX Co-founder suggests that, for now, the market can only \u201cchill out, retrace, and wait.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>BTC\u2019s 3-Day Decline Marks Highest Since FTX Crash<\/h2>\n<p>According to MetaEra, the recent 3-day<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/metaerahk\/status\/1895025514290782656?s=46\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\"> decline<\/a> in the Bitcoin price is the highest crash seen since the FTX fiasco in 2022. In the first three days of this week, Bitcoin recorded a 12.6% drop in value, pushing it down to its current price of $86,227.<\/p>\n<p>MetaEra revealed that the widespread market sell-off could be attributed to the <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/bitcoin-faces-strongest-bearish-sentiment-in-a-month-as-regulatory-fears-mount-btc-metrics\/amp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">negative sentiment <\/a>and disappointment over President Trump&#8217;s lack of swift action regarding his promises to the crypto community. Prior to his election, Trump indicated a strong interest in creating a <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/steps-for-a-bitcoin-reserve\/amp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">national Bitcoin Reserve<\/a> and tightening fiat liquidity conditions.
