“Peter Brandt Predicts Potential Bitcoin Dip Ahead of All-Time Highs”

Bitcoin might regain its historical peak of $125,100 in the upcoming week, albeit not without another significant correction, as per experienced trader Peter Brandt.

“Either a substantial shakeout, which would be validated by an ATH swiftly within the next week or so,” he mentioned, although he conceded there might also be a much more pessimistic result.

“Or a breach of the parabola, which historically has led to a 75% price drop. I believe the era of an 80% decline is finished, but perhaps we may retrace to $50-60,000 and test the lower boundary of the banana.”

Traders must contemplate “long-term risk,” asserts analyst

The cryptocurrency market plummeted on Friday following US President Donald Trump’s declaration of a 100% tariff on Chinese imports, leading to over $19 billion in liquidations throughout the market.

After its fall from nearly $121,000 to as low as $102,000 on Friday, Bitcoin (BTC) has recovered to about $112,400 at the time of this publication, according to CoinMarketCap.

“If anything, this weekend served as a reminder to exercise extreme caution with leverage, and even ratios above 1.5x are perilous,” Capriole Investments founder Charles Edwards informed Cointelegraph.

“They do, and you must always weigh multi-year, long-term risks,” he added. He characterized the weekend’s fluctuations as temporary, describing his forecast for the upcoming weeks as simply “up.”

Other analysts remain hopeful, pointing to broader macroeconomic indicators as signs that new capital could flow into the cryptocurrency market in the weeks ahead.

“Acquire everything,” advises BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes

BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes stated in a Twitter post on Tuesday that a buying opportunity might be emerging in the crypto market after US Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell indicated that quantitative tightening “is concluded.”

“Load up the … truck and acquire everything,” Hayes remarked.
