Legendary trader Peter Brandt, with almost fifty years of trading experience since 1975 common bullish prediction of Bitcoin price trajectory in 2025 Moving to dollars up to 150 thousand dollars. I measure cycles differently than most.”
How high can Bitcoin rise in 2025?
Brandt’s analysis is rooted in historical patterns observed in Bitcoin halving cycles. His chart, covering Bitcoin’s price action from early 2022 with projections through 2026, highlights two significant periods of 518 days each. These periods represent critical phases of Bitcoin’s market behavior, representing the cyclical nature of its price movements.
A notable technical pattern identified on his chart is the breakout from the expanding wedge. Characterized by divergent support and resistance lines, this pattern suggests increasing market volatility as prices make progressively higher highs and lower lows. A successful breakout from this pattern is considered a robust bullish signal.
In a detailed blog post from June titled “The Beautiful Symmetry of Past Bitcoin Bull Cycles,” Brandt discussed in detail the significance of halving events. He noted that halving dates “represent the halfway point of previous bull market cycles,” showing almost perfect symmetry across those cycles. In particular, the number of weeks from the beginning of each bull cycle to the halving dates was almost equal to the number of weeks from the halving dates to subsequent bull market highs.
Based on this symmetrical pattern, Brandt assumes that if the sequence continues, “the next bull cycle peak should occur in late August/early September 2025.” He suggests that the highs of previous bull markets align well with the inverted parabolic curve, and if this trend continues, “the high of this bull market could be in the $130,000 to $150,000 range.”
Despite the positive forecasts, Brandt remains cautious. He emphasizes that “no method of analysis is foolproof” and admits that he avoids “a dogmatic approach to any ideas.” While this view is his preferred analysis, he acknowledges that it is not his only interpretation. Brandt notes that he still assigns a 25% probability that Bitcoin’s price has already reached its highest level this cycle. If Bitcoin fails to reach a decisive novel all-time high and fall below $55,000, it will augment the likelihood of an “exponential decay.”
The crypto community is actively engaging in Brandt analysis. Popular cryptocurrency analyst Astronomer (@astronomer_zero) responded to X, agreeing with Brandt’s high estimate and emphasizing the importance of accurately identifying the best market. The astronomer remarked, “I think you’re spot on, Peter! When it comes to checking the bottom, it is now our responsibility to check the top in one attempt. The terminal price does this very well. I have 6 other indicators. If everyone agrees, it will be a sale. $160,000 location.”
In a subsequent exchange, user Brandt replied: “Ultimately yes. But let’s take it one step at a time, without getting too dogmatic.
At the time of publication, the price of BTC was $74,940.
