BitMEX CEO Arthur Hayes has once again emerged – this time from the top of Peru’s mysterious city in the sky, Machu Picchu.
Hayes brought with him a new prediction on the price of Bitcoin, saying he thinks it’s now on a path to doubling in value.
Did y’all miss me? I’m back from deepest darkest Peru, ready to cash checks. For those of you in Singapore next week for Invest Asia keep Wednesday night free. We will be two-steppin’ straight to $20k. pic.twitter.com/R0UYHinuHw

Right now, Bitcoin is up 4.97% at $10,661, according to COIN360 at time of publishing.
Ethereum is up 1.18% at $180.15, XRP is up 0.52% at $0.2622 and Litecoin is up 3.39% at $68.92.
CoinDesk analyst Omkar Godbole says low volume indicates it’s too early to declare that a renewed BTC bull run is underway.
“Weak trading volumes, however, indicate the recovery could be short-lived and a fall back to $9,750 could be in the offing in the next day or two. Weekly chart indicators continue to call a bearish move.
A high-volume UTC close above the bearish lower high of $10,956 (Aug. 20 high) is needed to revive the short-term bullish outlook.”
Here’s a look at the latest forecasts from across the cryptosphere.
