There are new highs ahead for BTC
Peter Brandt, a widely followed cryptocurrency analyst well-known for accurately calling Bitcoin’s 84% decline in 2018, has predicted there are new highs ahead for this cryptocurrency.
Brandt’s prediction is based on technical analysis and fundamental drivers fueling the crypto’s rise. In a tweet sent to his over 435,000 followers, Brandt pointed to an inverse head and shoulders pattern on BTC’s price charts.

Brandt isn’t just known for accurately calling BTC’s 2018 bear market, as the analyst has in the past made other correction predictions for the cryptocurrency’s price. In April 2019, the analyst set a $50,000 price target for the cryptocurrency “in the next two years.”
The price of bitcoin crossed the $50,000 mark earlier this year and hit a new all-time high above $58,000 before enduring a correction that saw it retest the $45,000 mark. It has since recovered and is now trading at $53,000.
