Bitcoin Price Prediction: Legendary Trader Peter Brandt Endorses Chart Suggesting $280,000 in 2025

Legendary trader Peter Brandt has endorsed a Bitcoin cycle chart that predicts the cryptocurrency could hit $280,000 by the end of 2025. The chart aligns with previous cycles and suggests a mid-channel run of $150,000-$180,000, with a possible price range of $250,000-$280,000 if the pattern mirrors previous cycles. Brandt's support adds weight to the prediction, but market volatility and new factors like ETF flows, interest rates, and global liquidity could disrupt the timeline and price points.

Legendary trader Peter Brandt has endorsed a Bitcoin cycle chart that predicts the cryptocurrency could hit $280,000 by the end of 2025. The chart aligns with previous cycles and suggests a mid-channel run of $150,000-$180,000, with a possible price range of $250,000-$280,000 if the pattern mirrors previous cycles. Brandt's support adds weight to the prediction, but market volatility and new factors like ETF flows, interest rates, and global liquidity could disrupt the timeline and price points.

The chart, which lines up all four major Bitcoin cycles since 2011, marks the time from bear market lows to peaks and from halving events to peaks. The first three cycles peaked 24, 28, and 33 months after their lows, and the current cycle is now about 29 months in from the 2022 low. From the April 2024 halving, we are 17 months in, and in the last two cycles, this is right around when prices reached their highs. If history repeats itself, the red "peak zone" on the chart will land somewhere between September and December of 2025 [2]. The chart also highlights the trend of decreasing returns—each cycle gains less than the previous one, and peaks take longer to form. Early cycles saw gains of 10,000%, 2,000%, and 700%, but this run from $15,500 is at about +480%, so the climb may be smaller this time, though of a smaller scale. The only question is whether new factors, such as ETF flows, interest rates, and global liquidity, will change that timeline [2].

Brandt’s endorsement of the chart lends credibility to this idea, given his 50-year experience in market projecting. If Bitcoin continues to move in line with these patterns, the next 12-15 months could bring a new all-time high, even if the percentage gain is not as big as in previous years. However, the market is dynamic, and new factors could alter the projected timeline.

Investors should consider this analysis as part of a broader strategy rather than a crystal ball. Market cycles provide context, but they don’t guarantee outcomes. Regulatory changes, institutional adoption, or macroeconomic shifts could all alter the projected timeline. Successful investing requires flexibility as new information emerges.
