Bitcoin (BTC) may reach new all-time highs by the end of next year, but crypto investors should brace themselves for a “chopfest” in the meantime, according to veteran trader and analyst Peter Brandt.
In an Oct. 26 post on X (formerly Twitter), Brandt told his 660,000 followers that Bitcoin had likely already bottomed in Nov. 2022 and that the cryptocurrency is on track to notch new highs by the third quarter of 2024.
Anyone who declares they know the future path of any market is a fool. Markets will ALWAYS surprise.
Yet, with this disclaimer, I believe:
1. The $BTC bottom is in
2. New ATHs not coming until Q3 2024
3. Chop fest in the meanwhile

Still, Brandt erred slightly on the side of caution with a disclaimer, saying that the future is never certain and that markets will “always” surprise.
When an X user asked Brandt for his thoughts on Chainlink (LINK), he didn’t mince words with his response:
“I stick with BTC and don’t get distracted by pretenders.”
Brandt — who has been a proprietary trader since 1975 — explained that he’d been using the aforementioned blueprint for nearly two years.
He added in a later post that his favorite chart for Bitcoin price movement is the weekly Renko graph, which — in his view — alleviates many “fake moves” and had only delivered five miscues in the past five years.
Bitcoin chart I most trust $BTC is the weekly Renko graph. Very few fake out moves – by my count, only 5 miscues in the past five years. The most recent signal was a buy at 22,000. I allocate a portion of my Bitcoin investing to this chart

After months of largely sideways price action, Bitcoin recently experienced significant upwards price momentum. Many have tipped Bitcoin’s outsized performance in recent months due to participants watching closely as spot Bitcoin exchange traded funds (ETFs) inch closer to potential approval.
