Veteran trader Peter Brandt believes Bitcoin’s bear market is far from over.

Trade Secrets is made for X — but now you can watch the full episode on YouTube too.

In this interview, Brandt explains why BTC could fall below $50,000 — potentially reaching the high $40,000s — before forming a final bottom around October 4. He says the true bottom will only arrive when even Bitcoin’s most committed bulls finally give up.

But his long-term outlook remains bullish: Brandt predicts Bitcoin could reach $250,000–$300,000 by 2029 and potentially hit $1 million in the early 2030s.

He also discusses whether Michael Saylor and Strategy could face forced selling, why AI stocks are in an “obscene bubble,” whether an altcoin season could emerge this summer, and why he expects most altcoins to eventually lose their value.
