A legendary professional trader who famously called Bitcoin’s drawdown from $20,000 to $3,000 with chilling accuracy is claiming that while things are looking bullish for the first-ever crypto asset, if any of the bullish factors he’s watching changes, it could result in a much more “serious correction.” Peter Brandt Highlights Bullish Bitcoin Factors But Warns of a More Serious Correction From late November and all through December into early January, Bitcoin painted a multi-month inverse head and shoulders pattern. The bottoming price pattern confirmed, driving Bitcoin from lows around $6,400 to a high of $9,200.

Trend lines can be dangerous, as personal bias can often cloud where trend lines are drawn. However, when it comes to legendary trader Peter Brandt, although he’s a self-proclaimed Bitcoin bull, his analysis is always unbiased. In the past, he’s called for Bitcoin’s over 80% drawdown after its parabolic advance was broken in late 2017, resulting in a fall from $20,000 to $3,000. The target was ultimately hit, earning Brandt additional clout across the crypto industry. Now, the professional career trader has shared a new price chart showing Bitcoin’s recent breakout from the downtrend channel, and with it, he’s outlined a number of bullish factors. Reasons to believe current correction in Bitcoin could hold1. Retesting upper boundary of channel is normal2. Retesting 18 DMA3. No 3DTSR has been triggered4. Jan 14 low remains intactShould above items change, then more serious correction could occur$BTC pic.twitter.com/00O9wfv8h3 — Peter Brandt (@PeterLBrandt) January 24, 2020 These factors include a retest of the upper channel boundary, along with a retest of the 18-day moving average. Both of these retests are currently holding support. Brandt also points out the January 14 low is still intact and unbleached, and the 3DTSR has yet to be triggered. If First-Ever Crypto Maintains Momentum, Target is New All-Time High The trader warns that should any of these above factors change, “then a more serious correction could occur.” Recent discussion around Elliott Wave Theory hints that if the crypto asset loses the current momentum it has, it could result in a massive panic selloff to $1,000 before a new impulse wave upward begins. A drop to $1,000 would be the serious correction that Brandt is warning about.

As Brandt points out in a later tweet, charts are “constantly morphing” and exact trend lines are usually only clear after the fact. It’s the trader’s way of saying that even his charts, despite his over 30 years of trading success, could be drawn incorrectly. And with a market as speculative as crypto, anything is possible.
