According to U.Today, well-known trader Peter Brandt recently published an in-depth analysis titled "Does History Prove That Bitcoin Has Peaked?" He delved into the concept of exponential decay, suggesting that Bitcoin's bull cycle has gradually lost momentum over time. Brandt highlighted four important bull cycles in Bitcoin's history, with the current rally marking the fifth. He noticed a worrying trend: each consecutive cycle saw a reduction in exponential growth, indicating that momentum had lost about 80% from the previous cycle.
Based on this trend, experts predict that the potential peak of the current cycle could be around $72,723, a figure that has already been reached in recent trading. Despite acknowledging the historical impact of halving events on Bitcoin prices, Brandt emphasized the grim reality of exponential decay, suggesting that BTC may already have a 25% chance of reaching the peak of this cycle.
In the case of a market top, he speculated on a possible price pullback, foreseeing that Bitcoin prices could fall to around $30,000, or even return to the 2021 lows. Although this implies a bear market, he believes that such a correction could be bullish in the long run, and he contrasts it with similar chart patterns observed in the gold market. Brandt acknowledged the importance of the data in his analysis’ conclusion, saying, “Do I trust the analysis just presented? I don’t want to, but the data speaks for itself.”
