Famed analyst and Factor CEO Peter Brandt, citing the upward trajectory of the ongoing bull market cycle, has revised his initial prediction for Bitcoin (BTC) from $120,000 to a higher figure. With over forty years of experience in financial markets, Brandt makes a bold forecast for the future of the largest cryptocurrency, suggesting it could rise to $200,000 by September 2025.
The $50,500 Level Is a Critical Threshold
Brandt’s optimistic forecast of a $200,000 target comes after Bitcoin surpassed $55,000, breaking out of a 15-month channel defined by trend lines connecting the lowest levels of November 2022 and September, as well as the highest levels of April 2023 and January 2024. According to Brandt, this bullish prediction holds as long as Bitcoin’s price remains above the past week’s low of $50,500.
The analyst’s bullish forecast is also supported by several studies that suggest a strong bull run ahead. These studies base their findings on various factors, including previous block reward halving cycles and the width of Bollinger Bands.
There is a consensus among analysts that the fourth block reward halving scheduled for April could increase entries into US-based spot ETFs and potentially drive prices to six-figure sums within the next 12 months.
“Laser Eyes” Warning Issued
While Brandt’s upshift for the biggest cryptocurrency has sparked debate among market participants, it has prompted some to update their profile pictures with the “laser eyes” meme, which went viral during the 2021 bull market to symbolize ongoing market optimism among Bitcoin holders. However, the analyst warns that the proliferation of “laser eyes” could serve as a contrarian indicator, pointing to individual investor frenzy typically seen at market peaks.
In his warning, Brandt notes, “Just as I did in 2021, I will use ‘X’ over laser eyes as a contrarian indicator. So, if you want Bitcoin to stay in a strong trend, please avoid using laser eyes in your social media picture. Too many laser eyes will be a significant warning of a downturn.”
