Bitcoin’s Plunge: Brandt’s Prophecy or Market’s Farce? 🎭💸

by

In the labyrinthine corridors of the financial gulag, the grizzled oracle Peter Brandt emerges, his beard heavy with the wisdom of countless trades, to proclaim that Bitcoin (BTC) shall descend into the abyss of $58,000-$62,000. A correction, he says, of 33-37%, from its current perch at $92,400. Ah, the market-ever the capricious tyrant! 🪨📉

As the digital serfs tremble, Brandt’s prophecy arrives amidst a chorus of bearish harbingers, each analyst wielding charts like icons of doom. Yet, in this theater of speculation, who is to say what is signal and what is noise? 🎭

Brandt’s Rising Wedge: A Pattern or a Parable?

On the altar of X (formerly Twitter), Brandt inscribes his decree: “58k to $62k is where I think it is going BTC.” His chart, a rising wedge-two converging trendlines, steep and mocking-suggests a momentum as feeble as a gulag prisoner’s ration. 🍞📈

“If it does not go there, I will NOT be ashamed,” he declares, with the stoicism of a man who has weathered both the markets and the trolls. “I am wrong 50% of the time. It does not bother me to be wrong.” A true sage, or merely a jester in the court of finance? 🤡

Yet, the rising wedge-a pattern as unreliable as a Politburo promise-signals a weakening momentum. But technical analysis, like history, is written by the victors. Or is it? 📉✨

Other soothsayers draw parallels to the 2022 market cycle, claiming Bitcoin is “repeating the fractal exactly.” A relief rally, a bull trap, a plunge-déjà vu, or merely the market’s cruel joke? 🤔🔮

BeInCrypto, ever the Cassandra, identifies five bearish signals, while Ted Pillows-a name as soft as his optimism-counters with tales of improving US liquidity. “A crypto rally is coming,” he chirps, as if the market were a benevolent deity. 🌊💰

“Now US liquidity is improving, which is one of the reasons I’m expecting a crypto rally. It’s that simple,” he says, with the simplicity of a man who has never stared into the void of a bear market. 🕳️

$BTC is still in an uptrend on the weekly chart.

We’ve tested the same support line 3 times now and it keeps holding.
This last bounce around ~$93K shows buyers are still stepping in.

As long as BTC stays above this trendline, the trend stays bullish.

Next level to watch is…

The Whales Stir: A Tale of Greed and Nostalgia

Amidst this cacophony, the ancient whales awaken. One, dormant for 13 years, moves 909.38 BTC-$84.62 million-to a new wallet. A profit of 13,900 times the original investment. Is this a vote of confidence, or a final act of plunder? 🦈💼

Another, having sold 2,500 BTC since December 2024, pockets $500M in profits. A systematic exodus, or a strategic retreat? The market, ever inscrutable, offers no answers, only riddles. 🧩

“Since Dec 4, 2024, he has been selling $BTC, dumping 2,500 $BTC($265M) at an average price of $106,164. He still holds 2,500 $BTC($237.5M), with total profits exceeding $500M,” Lookonchain reports, with the detachment of a chronicler of the absurd. 📜

Thus, Bitcoin stands at the precipice-a crossroads of hope and despair. Technical patterns whisper of correction, while macro winds hint at rally. What will be, will be. Or will it? The market, like life, is a farce played out in the shadow of uncertainty. 🎭🌪️
