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 <a href="https://alternative.me/crypto/fear-and-greed-index/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">slumped</a> 7 points over the past 24 hours, bringing it to 22 after a 12-point drop in the last week.

<h2 id="span-style-font-weight-400-arthur-hayes-shorts-btc-span">Arthur Hayes Shorts BTC</h2>
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.&nbsp;

Data from <a href="https://www.coinglass.com/LiquidationData" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">CoinGlass</a> 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.&nbsp;

But renowned crypto trader and analyst Michael van de Poppe is more bullish on BTC than Hayes. In a Sept. 5 post on X, he told his over 724K followers that the likelihood of a potential crash is unlikely.
