Peter Brandt Predicts Potential Bitcoin Selloff Ahead

As Bitcoin continued to hover near the $195K mark, slightly below its ATH, some investors remain cautious, anticipating a potential selloff. For context, as the price continued to rally, some investors might book profit by selling the crypto, with many experts hinting towards a potential pullback amid the bull run.

Amid this dynamic, veteran trader Peter Brandt has caught the eyes of investors with his recent comments. In a recent X post, Brandt said that there is a “possibility” that the bulls will dump their BTC holdings as it flirts near its all-time peaks. He noted that the selloff would come as the investors might try to reenter the Bitcoin market at a lower price after the selloff, which would help them to book more profits.

However, he also affirmed that despite investors’ anticipation of a “correction”, it will “not come”, highlighting the crypto’s potential. In addition, he also predicted that the crypto might hit $120K, saying that the price is not likely to “come down”.

Looking at the recent comments of Brandt, it appears that the expert remains optimistic about Bitcoin’s future trajectory. Besides, it also comes after the expert has recently said that BTC is poised to hit $327K in the near future, sparking further optimism in the market.
