Bitcoin Needs to Break $71,000 to Stay Bullish, Says Veteran Trader

Veteran trader Peter Brandt is sounding the alarm about Bitcoin’s recent price dip. He says the cryptocurrency needs to break through a key resistance level to confirm its bullish trend is still in place.

Bitcoin’s Bullish Trend on Thin Ice

Brandt, who has a massive following on social media, says Bitcoin’s recent rally hasn’t been enough to convince him the market is truly bullish. He’s looking for a weekly close above $71,000, followed by a new all-time high, to confirm the trend that started in November 2022 is still intact.

Bearish Signals on the Daily Chart

On the daily chart, Brandt sees a bearish pattern called “Three Blind Mice” forming. This pattern suggests the current downward trend in Bitcoin is likely to continue.

XRP/BTC Could Be Heading for a Big Drop

Brandt is also warning about XRP, the cryptocurrency associated with Ripple. He believes the XRP/BTC pair is forming a head and shoulders pattern on the monthly chart, which is a bearish signal. If this pattern plays out, it could lead to a significant drop in XRP’s price against Bitcoin.
