Peter Brandt predicts a $150K Bitcoin top by Q3<\/h2>\n

In a recent post on X, veteran trader Peter Brandt forecasted a Bitcoin price rally, potentially reaching $125,000 to $150,000 by August or September 2025. The trader predicted<\/a> a parabolic arc pattern in Bitcoin\u2019s price chart\u2014a technical formation often signaling rapid rises followed by sharp corrections, as seen in the 2017 Bitcoin surge. <\/p>\n

Brandt noted that Bitcoin must reclaim its broken parabolic slope to achieve the above target. However, he cautioned that a 50%+ correction could follow the peak, reflecting the pattern\u2019s characteristic volatility. <\/p>\n

From an onchain perspective, Bitcoin researcher Axel Adler Jr. pointed out that Bitcoin is on the cusp of a \u201cstart\u201d rally zone. The analyst underlined three scenarios, with the optimistic (bull) case outlining a price target above $150,000. Adler Jr. added,<\/a> <\/p>\n

In a baseline scenario, BTC’s price may consolidate within a $90,000 to $110,000 range if new capital inflows remain limited and existing investors do not increase their positions.<\/p>\n

Lastly, a bearish case could unfold if further profit-taking from short-term holders takes place, leading to a correction down to $85,000-$70,000. <\/p>\n

Over the past two weeks, Bitcoin has displayed a consistent breakout pattern, surging 13% before entering sideways consolidation, then breaking out again to reach $93,000\u2013$96,000. <\/p>\n

BTC is currently breaking out of its existing resistance range. Still, as shown in the chart below, a significant volume cluster between $96,000 and $99,000 suggests a phase of consolidation before Bitcoin can test the $100,000 mark. <\/p>\n
