Brandt pointed out that it has been 30 weeks since Bitcoin last reached an all-time high. Based on historical patterns, he explained that when BTC fails to achieve a new ATH within a similar timeframe, the cryptocurrency often experiences a significant decline of over 75%.

Looking ahead, he projected a potential surge to $135,000 by August or September 2025, while cautioning that a drop below $48,000 would invalidate his analysis.
