After days of anxious waiting, President Donald Trump’s “Liberation Day” came and went. As anticipated, equity and cryptocurrency markets did not like the idea of fresh and broad tariffs. A broad market sell-off ensued in after-hours trading as the president read off his chart outlining “reciprocal tariffs” on almost every country in the world, including uninhabited islands.
Bitcoin, in particular, dropped 5% from $88,500 to just over $82,000 and continues to trade near these lows, eroding earlier market optimism. Amid the rout, one prominent analyst has pointed to a key level to watch.
Don’t Miss:
According to BitMEX founder and Maelstrom CIO Arthur Hayesthe $76,500 price point is the level to watch for Bitcoin.
“if BTC can hold $76.5k btw now and US tax day Apr 15, then we are out of the woods,” he wrote in a Wednesday X post following Trump’s tariff announcements.
The price level aligns with the three-month price low Bitcoin hit on March 11. On March 20, Hayes speculated that the level was the line in the sand for the asset, suggesting that the worst of the recent correction is over and that it is unlikely the asset will break below the level before making a run for new highs.

For confirmation of Hayes’ analysis, bulls will want to see a strong bounce from that level should Bitcoin retest it.
The analyst’s view comes as he continues to maintain that the leading digital asset is on course to more than double in price this year.
Specifically, Hayes maintains that Bitcoin can still hit $250,000 by the end of the year.
