Arthur Hayes, in his latest analysis, has stated that 
Bitcoin will likely face continued weakness until there is a notable expansion of the Federal Reserve's or banks' balance sheets.
Hayes points to a rising dollar liquidity gauge as a sign of potential change, but he believes this alone is not enough to spark a significant Bitcoin rally.
The analysis suggests that the current monetary policy environment is not conducive to the kind of liquidity injection that would drive substantial cryptocurrency market growth.
This perspective comes as the total crypto market cap stands at $2.64 trillion, with Bitcoin experiencing a 2.28% decline over the past 24 hours, currently trading at $76,728.
The broader market is also down, with Bitcoin's 7-day performance showing a 3.61% decrease, reflecting the cautious sentiment in the crypto space.
