Expert Trader Peter Brandt Delivers Important Bitcoin Price Update

Noting that BTC remains trapped in a series of lower highs and lower lows, Brandt pointed out that only a close above the July highs would officially break this pattern and complete the six-month expanding triangle that has formed. Until that point is reached, he believes the pattern remains in play.

It is worth noting that at the time of Brandt’s assessment, Bitcoin (BTC) was valued at $63,695. Just 24 hours later, the price had shot up to $66,200, raising questions for some observers. Some wondered if this change in price would change the way traders think about the top cryptocurrency.

Still, Brandt said that Bitcoin still needs to break through the July high of $70,000, which would require another 5.5% gain, to invalidate the series of lower highs and lows. This is despite the fact that BTC has already gained 12% since the beginning of September.

It has been perfectly in line with the behavior of BTC over the past few months, keeping traders on their toes as the price action unfolds.

Meanwhile, the August low of $49,000 is a key support level that is still a focal point for any downside risk.

It is still up for debate whether Bitcoin will move higher or retest its previous lows, but it is clear that the bulls have the advantage for now – as long as the price remains well above critical support.
