Famed commodities trader Peter Brand has sparked quite a different sentiment among the cryptocurrency community.
He predicts that the price of Bitcoin (BTC) could collapse by up to 75% from its current level.
Brandt’s warning stems from his observation that Bitcoin typically experiences significant declines if it fails to reach a new high within 30 weeks of its previous all-time high.
Bitcoin’s current high of $73,737 was reached on March 14 and it has now been more than 30 weeks since that peak.
While claiming that this is simply a market observation and not a personal opinion, he said:
I am always amused by those who confuse market observations with opinions. Just like drivers who don’t [look] both ways, they often end up in accidents.
Despite the bearish outlook, Brandt mentioned that BTC remains the largest tradable asset in his portfolio.
