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.<\/p>\n

\u201cEither a substantial shakeout, which would be validated by an ATH swiftly within the next week or so,\u201d he mentioned, although he conceded there might also be a much more pessimistic result.<\/p>\n

\u201cOr 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.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Traders must contemplate \u201clong-term risk,\u201d asserts analyst<\/h2>\n

The cryptocurrency market plummeted on Friday following US President Donald Trump\u2019s declaration of a 100% tariff on Chinese imports, leading to over $19 billion in liquidations<\/a> throughout the market.<\/p>\n

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

\u201cIf anything, this weekend served as a reminder to exercise extreme caution with leverage, and even ratios above 1.5x are perilous,\u201d Capriole Investments founder Charles Edwards informed Cointelegraph.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey do, and you must always weigh multi-year, long-term risks,\u201d he added. He characterized the weekend\u2019s fluctuations as temporary, describing his forecast for the upcoming weeks as simply \u201cup.\u201d<\/p>\n

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

\u201cAcquire everything,\u201d advises BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes<\/h2>\n

BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes stated<\/a> 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 \u201cis concluded.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLoad up the \u2026 truck and acquire everything,\u201d Hayes remarked.<\/p>\n

Quantitative easing is favorable for crypto as it incentivizes banks to lend more and makes borrowing less expensive<\/a> for consumers and businesses through reduced interest rates.<\/p>\n

Swyftx chief analyst Pav Hundal expressed to Cointelegraph on Tuesday that \u201cthe fundamental economic indicators are the primary narrative for Bitcoin presently.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cInflation is experiencing a double challenge right now from declining oil prices and demand, while at the same time, the US labor market is exhibiting signs of strain,\u201d Hundal noted, as US inflation hit 2.90% in August, the highest since January.<\/p>\n
