Instead, he plans to wait for clearer signals from global monetary policy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>He stated,&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em>\u201cIf I had $1 to invest right now, would I be putting it into Bitcoin?&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-no-i-would-wait\"><em>No. I would wait.\u201d<\/em><\/h3>\n<p>Analyzing the current scenario, Hayes believes that <a href=\"https:\/\/coinpedia.org\/news\/trump-says-u-s-will-decide-when-iran-war-ends-what-it-means-for-crypto-market\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">rising geopolitical tensions<\/a>, particularly in the Middle East, could eventually force the <a href=\"https:\/\/coinpedia.org\/news\/fed-rate-cut-buzz-ignites-crypto-markets-as-bitcoin-reclaims-momentum\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Federal Reserve<\/a> and other central banks to inject more liquidity into the financial system to support government spending.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In simple terms, this will be the real buying opportunity when the Federal Reserve and other central banks begin printing money again, as increased liquidity has historically driven major Bitcoin rallies. Until then, he suggests investors stay patient instead of trying to guess the market bottom.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-bitcoin-could-drop-below-60k\"><strong>Why Bitcoin Could Drop Below $60K<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Hayes also warned that geopolitical tensions and macroeconomic stress could trigger broad sell-offs across both stocks and crypto markets. In such risk-off scenarios, Bitcoin could briefly fall below the $60K level as investors move toward safer assets.<\/p>\n<p>Because of these uncertainties, Hayes believes waiting for clearer signs of liquidity expansion could be a smarter strategy than rushing into the market.<\/p>\n<p>The analyst also believes Bitcoin behaves like a \u201cliquidity alarm,\u201d meaning its price strongly reacts to the amount of money circulating in the financial system. When liquidity tightens, crypto markets often struggle.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>            .article-inside-link {<br \/>\n                margin-left: 0 !important;<br \/>\n                border: 1px solid #0052CC4D;<br \/>\n                border-left: 0;<br \/>\n                border-right: 0;<br \/>\n                padding: 10px 0;<br \/>\n                text-align: left;<br \/>\n            }<\/p>\n<p>            .entry ul.article-inside-link li {<br \/>\n                font-size: 14px;<br \/>\n                line-height: 21px;<br \/>\n                font-weight: 600;<br \/>\n                list-style-type: none;<br \/>\n                margin-bottom: 0;<br \/>\n                display: inline-block;<br \/>\n            }<\/p>\n<p>            .entry ul.article-inside-link li:last-child {<br \/>\n                display: none;<br \/>\n            }<\/p>\n<ul class=\"article-inside-link\">\n<li><span>Also Read : <\/span><\/li>\n<li> &nbsp; <a href=\"https:\/\/coinpedia.org\/news\/binances-cz-net-worth-jumps-to-110b-in-forbes-richest-list\/\" target=\"_blank\">Forbes Says Changpeng Zhao&#8217;s Net Worth Is $110B, Binance Founder Calls It \u201cInaccurate\u201d<\/a><\/li>\n<li>&nbsp;  &#044;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>At the same time, Hayes pointed out that the rise in <a href=\"https:\/\/coinpedia.org\/news\/has-gold-price-topped-whale-wallets-cash-out-40m-in-tether-gold-and-paxg\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Gold prices signals declining<\/a> confidence in dollar-based assets.
