Peter Brandt warns of bearish Bitcoin price channel.

Veteran trader Peter Brandt warns Bitcoin’s bearish channel could trigger further downside unless strong buying breaks key resistance.

Summary
  • Veteran trader Peter Brandt flags a bearish, downward-sloping channel in Bitcoin near six-figure resistance.
  • He warns BTC could move into a lower price range if buying pressure stays weak, while stressing his forecasts can be wrong.
  • Bitcoin remains volatile amid macro and regulatory headwinds as analysts track key technical levels for its next major move.

Veteran trader Peter Brandt, who accurately predicted Bitcoin’s (BTC) 2018 decline, has issued a warning regarding potential downward price movement for the cryptocurrency, according to a chart shared on social media platform X.

Brandt highlighted key resistance levels for Bitcoin near the six-figure price point in his analysis. The trader indicated that Bitcoin remains within a bearish, downward-sloping channel pattern, according to his post.

Peter Brandt says Bitcoin has lower to go

The analysis suggested that without strong buying pressure, Bitcoin could experience additional downward movement. Brandt stated that the price could move to a lower range, while acknowledging uncertainty in market predictions.

Brandt, who has decades of trading experience, noted in his post that his forecasts are not always accurate, stating he would not be ashamed if proven incorrect.
