Bitcoin has blasted its way into the new month, moving above the $96,500 level as it nears the long awaited $100,000 level. Well-known veteran Bitcoin analyst Peter Brandt has thrown down the gauntlet with a bold forecast. He predicts that Bitcoin will reach between $125,000-$150,000 by August or September of 2025. This projection would put the BTC price after Bitcoin’s fourth halving around April 2024.
Brandt's Bullish Bitcoin Forecast
Brandt’s fundamental technical analysis shows that Bitcoin is ready for a big upward move. It would then have to increase 56% from its current trading price of about $96,000 to reach the predicted $150,000 peak. Along with his corresponding long-term weekly chart, he discussed long-term bullish price patterns and incredibly bullish technical formations in the works for Bitcoin. The expert identified a trend line that marked Bitcoin’s highs during the 2021 run.
Brandt’s prediction is in keeping with historical patterns, wherein Bitcoin’s price peaks generally happen 12–18 months post a halving occurrence. From August to September 2025 would be the perfectly timed shot within this forecasted window—perhaps culminating in the last quarter of this cycle’s bull-run.
Potential Correction and Historical Patterns
For one, Brandt’s prediction entails a greater than 50% correction after the cycle peak. He proposed that Bitcoin may be able to retrace back to the $60,000–$75,000 neighborhood, in line with the typical macro-retracement historically seen in previous cycles.
This one projection serves to highlight the extreme volatility that is a hallmark of the cryptocurrency market, even during bull markets. Investors need to be ready to act amid sharp price volatility after the expected peak.
Key Levels and Future Trajectory
Brandt says a successful reclaim would send Bitcoin soaring deep into the red zone on his chart. This area lies in between $125,000 and $150,000. This level now serves as an important breakout target for Bitcoin as it resumes its climb higher.
Traders and investors are intently watching these moving averages, as a breakout could indicate more substantial upside. It’s the magnitude of that correction that is worth eyeing closely.
