Brandt sets the market straight: No bottom before October 2026<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bitcoin<\/a> is currently trading in a range between $78,200<\/strong> and $80,300<\/strong>, driven in part by the rebound following Trump’s “Project Freedom” announcement regarding the Strait of Hormuz. Despite this geopolitical catalyst, the underlying structure remains fragile according to Peter Brandt, a veteran trader with nearly 50 years of experience<\/strong> in the futures markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brandt projects that Bitcoin could reach $250,000<\/strong> by the end of 2029, but only after a prolonged market bottom phase that could last until September or October 2026<\/strong>. His reasoning is based on the four-year halving cycle, in which bull markets typically peak 16 to 18 months<\/strong> after a halving and hit a bottom about a year after the peak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For investors looking to understand crypto cycles before taking a position, this analysis should be seriously integrated into any medium-term strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is called a channel
$BTC<\/a>
While it does not preclude further price gains, it is NOT a bullish bottoming pattern
