Peter Brandt Sounds the Alarm: $62,000 in the Crosshairs?

The technical situation for Bitcoin is deteriorating rapidly. After failing to maintain its higher levels, the price has buckled under the pressure of a widespread risk-off sentiment. Expert Peter Brandt, followed for his often accurate predictions, has identified alarming technical signals suggesting that the correction is far from over.

According to his analysis, BTC could collapse to the $58,000 to $62,000 zone. This bearish scenario is based on the breakdown of critical price structures and a chart configuration reminiscent of previous crashes. For traders, the loss of the current psychological support would open the door to a deeper capitulation, erasing a large portion of recent gains.

On-Chain Data Confirms Whale Panic

Beyond technical analysis, network fundamentals are also sending distress signals. On-chain data reveals that long-term holders and whales have begun aggressively liquidating their positions. This massive selling movement is intensifying bearish pressure and preventing any significant rebound for now.

The macroeconomic context isn’t helping: fears related to Greenland tariffs have injected an additional dose of uncertainty, pushing institutional investors to reduce their risk exposure. With selling volumes intensifying, the market appears to be validating the scenario of a return to much lower price levels, testing the resilience of HODLers.

Can Bitcoin Avoid Total Collapse?

As the specter of $62,000 looms over the market, the crucial question is whether buyers will step in before impact. If the $90,000 zone gives way definitively, the fall could accelerate.

Furthermore, $58,000 corresponds to the low of the Power Law curve and also to the 200 WMA moving average. In other words, a drop to this level would be a generational opportunity to buy Bitcoin.

Is this the time to sell to protect your capital or to place low buy orders to take advantage of the next bull run? The answer in the coming months.

According to trader Killa, Bitcoin will drop below $60,000 by May. He even reveals a pattern similar to 2022, just before a brutal BTC crash. Things could therefore accelerate in the coming weeks. And the $85,000 support will be decisive in keeping hopes alive for a major BTC rebound in 2026.
