Veteran trader Peter Brandt has weighed in on Bitcoin’s recent price structure, offering a nuanced take that blends cautious skepticism with long-term conviction.
In a post shared on July 10, Brandt noted that the current chart pattern—a broadening inverted triangle—is not inherently bullish and often exhibits instability. He remarked, “An expanding inverted triangle has a higher rate of morphing or mortality than a pattern such as a horizontal pennant.” Despite that, Brandt confirmed he remains long BTC, suggesting confidence in Bitcoin’s larger trend.
Brandt highlighted the $107,000 level as a crucial support zone. A breakdown below this threshold would, in his view, “suggest morphology”—a term he uses to describe pattern breakdowns or evolving market structures. For now, BTC is trading near $111,490, just above the $110,700 resistance-turned-support line.
Despite his reservations about the pattern’s reliability, Brandt’s chart outlines potential bullish targets. The next major upward projections are $120,958 and $134,886.20—levels that align with the measured move from the previous breakout zone around $108,100.
Known for his no-nonsense approach to technical analysis, Brandt’s latest commentary signals a mix of optimism and caution. While he maintains a long position in Bitcoin, he warns traders not to place blind faith in chart patterns, especially those with a high rate of failure. His broader message seems clear: bullish continuation is possible, but price structure integrity remains key.
As Bitcoin navigates the mid-$110K range, traders and analysts alike are watching closely to see whether this triangle resolves upward or confirms Brandt’s warnings with a deeper correction.
