Arthur Hayes Sees Bitcoin Hitting $200,000 on Reserve Management Purchases Before Sharp Reversal in 2026

Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX, argues that the Federal Reserve's new Reserve Management Purchases policy could ignite a rally that drives Bitcoin toward $200,000 in early 2026 before a steep correction. He forecasts BTC first regaining $124,000 and then surging higher, even as other analysts warn that on-chain data now points to a developing bear market.
