The crypto market has witnessed extreme turbulence recently, with over $2.2 billion in liquidations. During this volatile period, Bitcoin’s price plummeted to $91,231 on Binance, dragging Ethereum and other altcoins down by nearly 20%. As a result, many investors suffered significant losses. Amid this chaos, veteran trader and crypto analyst Peter Brandt shared his insights on the situation.
Peter Brandt: Bitcoin Could Fall Below $80K, But It’s Not Over Yet
The sudden price fluctuations triggered mass liquidations, forcing traders to reassess their positions and exposure. While panic grips the market, seasoned analyst Peter Brandt presents a contrarian perspective. With over 50 years of experience in financial markets, Brandt believes that even if Bitcoin falls below $80,000, the bull trend may still be intact. He recently shared his thoughts:
“FUD and FOMO often lead to market explosions. However, it’s too early to draw definitive conclusions. While not a prediction, Bitcoin could dip below $80K and still remain in a bull trend.”
According to Brandt, fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD) tend to create exaggerated market reactions, and it’s still premature to assume the worst. He argues that even a decline below $80,000 does not necessarily confirm a bear market.
Is the Bull Market Over?
Interestingly, since November, an unfilled CME Bitcoin futures gap remains at the $75,000 level. If Bitcoin reaches this point and stabilizes, prior bullish predictions could still hold true. Some analysts also point to historical market cycles where major corrections occurred before new all-time highs, suggesting the bull run may not be over just yet.
At the moment, optimism still exists among traders. Many believe that key support levels could trigger another accumulation phase. Although it may take time to recover from recent losses, Bitcoin’s price could eventually regain momentum. Stay updated on market movements with The Bit Journal.
