In a recent report, renowned trader and analyst Peter Brandt shed light on the fascinating symmetry of Bitcoin’s bull market cycles, particularly in relation to Bitcoin’s “Halving” events.
Peter Brandt is a highly experienced trader with a deep background in the commodities trading sector. Initially gaining recognition for his work with commodities, Brandt has expanded his reputation over the years to include forex and cryptocurrency trading. His expertise is particularly evident in his ability to analyze market patterns and trends, insights he frequently shares through social media and various trading publications.
Brandt is especially renowned for his use of classical charting principles in trading, a methodology he has honed over decades. He has authored a book detailing these principles, offering readers a glimpse into his strategies and thought processes. His forecasts and analyses, especially regarding major market movements in cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, have garnered him a significant following among traders who value his experienced perspective on market dynamics. In addition to trading, Brandt contributes to the trading community by providing mentorship and educational resources, helping others navigate the complexities of financial markets.
The Bitcoin Halving is a significant milestone in the cryptocurrency’s journey, occurring approximately every four years. During these events, the mining rewards for Bitcoin are cut in half, effectively reducing the rate at which new Bitcoins enter circulation. Interestingly, Brandt has observed that these Halving dates have coincided with the halfway points of Bitcoin’s bull market cycles.
Brandt’s analysis reveals a striking pattern: the number of weeks from the start of each bull market cycle (marked by a low following a 75% or greater decline) to the Halving date is nearly equal to the number of weeks from the Halving date to the subsequent bull market peak. He says this symmetry has been consistent throughout Bitcoin’s history, suggesting that the cryptocurrency’s price action is influenced by these key events.
If this pattern continues, Brandt predicts that the next bull market cycle high could occur in late August or early September 2025. This projection is based on the observed symmetry and the timing of the previous Halving events.
But how high could Bitcoin potentially reach during this upcoming bull run? While no method of analysis is infallible, Brandt notes that the peaks of past bull markets align closely with an inverted parabolic curve. If this trend persists, he suggests that the high of the current bull market cycle could fall within the range of $130,000 to $150,000.
However, Brandt is cautious not to be overly dogmatic about his predictions. As a seasoned trader, he acknowledges that there is always a degree of uncertainty in the markets. While his preferred analysis points towards a bullish outcome, he also assigns a 25% probability to the possibility that Bitcoin’s price has already topped for this cycle.
In an alternative scenario, outlined in a separate analysis, Brandt explores the concept of “Exponential Decay.” This theory suggests that if Bitcoin fails to make a decisive new all-time high and instead falls below the $55,000 mark, the probability of a bearish trend would increase.
