Market Veteran Brandt Predicts Possible Timeline, Says Bitcoin Is on Track to Reach $125K–$150K
May 22, 2025
Peter Brandt and Bitcoin
Brandt insists that a new all-time high for Bitcoin is technically insignificant at the moment, as more upside is on track. Notably, Bitcoin attained a new all-time high of nearly $112,000 today, extending its gains. The uptick saw the premier asset finally breach $110,000, raising ambition and enthusiasm among market users.
However, veteran analyst Peter Brandt suggested in a May 21 tweet that the euphoria is still early. He branded the new all-time high “technically insignificant,” arguing it is typical in a bull market. Meanwhile, he predicted a further upward trajectory, outlining his bull cycle target and possible timeline for BTC to attain it.
Brandt Long on Bitcoin
While congratulating enthusiasts on the new milestone, Brandt was quick to emphasize that the ecstasy would continue at least for the foreseeable future. He revealed he is bullish on the pioneering cryptocurrency and expects more price discovery.
Specifically, the veteran trader reiterated that Bitcoin would peak between $125,000 and $150,000, about 12.5% and 34.7% away from its current prices. Recall that the market veteran earlier suggested in April that Bitcoin’s bull season might be over and the asset would end the year somewhere around $84,000.
However, he flipped bullish when the flagship cryptocurrency broke from a descending trendline in late April, setting his cycle target at $150,000. He cited historical price patterns and bullish technical setups as catalysts for his new price expectations.
In today’s analysis, Brandt shared a chart showing that Bitcoin’s recent rally follows its break from a bull flag on the weekly chart. He believes this momentum and sustained trend above a parabolic ascending support line will push BTC to between $125,000 and $150,000.
Brandt Hints at Possible Timeline for Price Top
Meanwhile, the veteran trader projected possible timelines for Bitcoin’s reaching his targeted bull cycle peak. He argued that Bitcoin was on track to attain his expected price range in August.
Remarkably, the month of August seems odd considering Bitcoin’s last two cyclical tops. For perspective, the leading cryptocurrency peaked at $19,804 in December 2017 and $69,000 in November 2021, suggesting a pattern of late-year tops.
Notably, Brandt shared in an earlier analysis that the timeline could extend to September. This means he expects Bitcoin to rally up to 34% between now and the next three to four months.
Is $150,000 Conservative?
Interestingly, Brandt’s target falls within the lower range of other analytical forecasts for the largest cryptocurrency by market cap.
For context, VanEck predicted that Bitcoin would hit $180,000 this cycle, with Standard Chartered and Bernstein analysts suggesting a bigger upside to $200,000.
However, more ambitious targets, such as Sina’s $285,000 and Changpeng Zhao’s $500,000 to $1 million, still exist. In the meantime, Bitcoin trades at $111,357.
