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.
Hey Bitcoiners
Are you familiar with the concept of “market analogs?”
Here is something to think about

Bitcoin is no longer the speculative playground it once was, according to Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan.
After more than a decade of silence, two early Bitcoin wallets have suddenly sprung to life, moving thousands of BTC in a move that caught the attention of blockchain analysts and traders alike.
After briefly breaching $97,000, Bitcoin has slipped to around $94,000, retreating from the $98,000 resistance zone as traders brace for potential volatility tied to upcoming macroeconomic announcements.
As countries around the world move faster to integrate digital assets into their financial systems, the United States is keeping Bitcoin at arm’s length—especially when it comes to the idea of holding it in national reserves.
