Bitcoin's Potential Path to $250,000 by 2029, Says Trader

Veteran trader Peter Brandt has suggested that Bitcoin could reach $250,000 by 2029. According to Odaily, Brandt believes the market will first undergo a prolonged bottoming process, potentially extending until September or October 2026. Brandt highlighted that Bitcoin's price movement still aligns with the typical 'four-year halving cycle.' Historically, bull markets have peaked approximately 16 to 18 months after a halving event, followed by a bear market, and then a new upward cycle begins 12 to 18 months before the next halving. If this pattern continues, the peak of the current cycle, which began after the April 2024 halving, might occur around October 2025, with the next bottom possibly appearing in the fall of 2026. Even if prices do not fall below previous lows, a 'bottoming structure' characterized by fluctuations and pullbacks could emerge, with extreme cases seeing retracements to the $50,000 or even $40,000 range. Brandt also noted that his predictions are entirely based on the continuation of historical market rhythms. If the price movement deviates from the cyclical pattern, he will adjust his model accordingly and not adhere to previous assumptions. Currently, there is a divergence of opinions in the market. Some analysts believe that the rebound from the February low marks the start of a new upward cycle, with future performance depending on whether the cyclical structure remains valid.
