The peak forecast for Bitcoin (BTC) from famous analysts has arrived!

Popular cryptocurrency analyst Peter Brandt has sparked controversy by suggesting that Bitcoin (BTC) may have peaked in this cycle.

According to Peter Brandt's "exponential fall" model, it is very unlikely that Bitcoin will have peaked at the $70,000 level in this cycle. Many other price models and predictions suggest that Bitcoin is still far from the cycle peak and could rise to the $210,000 level before the end of the bull run.

On April 27, veteran trader and analyst Peter Brandt published a theory suggesting that Bitcoin's bull market cycles exhibit fall a "exponential

This occurs when each successive cycle has a peak price of around 20 percent of the ATH in the previous cycle. The data shows that this has happened over the past three Bitcoin market cycles. "In other words, 80 percent of the exponential energy of every successful bull market cycle has been lost," Brandt said.

bitcoin btc cycleBased on this rate of disruption, Brandt predicted that the current cycle would only see 4.5x gains from the low of around $15,500. Therefore, the cycle peak is projected to be around $70,000; this level had already been reached in March, when prices exceeded $73,000.

However, Brandt is not entirely convinced by this theory and estimates a 25 percent chance that the BTC has already peaked this cycle. Others argue that alternative models also refute this theory. On April 9, Giovanni, CEO and research director of Quantonomy, debunked the exponential decay theory with one of his own theories based on long term power-law behavior.

Commenting on Brandt's theory, Brandt said, "If we exclude the pre-Halving period, we only have 3 data points, if we consider the ratios, we actually only have 2 data points," adding: "*This is not enough data to make a meaningful statistic." *

Santostasi measured the percentage of price peaks deviating from the long term power law trend and predicted a different pattern of exponential distortion.

Using figures from the Genesis block, this price model predicts that the fourth cycle peak will be around $210,000 around December 2025. He said the predicted low for the next cycle is around $83,000 based on historical observations.

The analysis combines the power law trend, four-year halving cycles, exponentially decreasing peak heights, and other factors into an integrated model for Bitcoin price predictions.

Other cryptocurrency analysts have also made predictions about Bitcoin's peak during this cycle. Swyftx chief analyst Pav Hundal told Cointelegraph that he predicts that Bitcoin will at least double in size by the next halving in 2028, with its price to be around $120,000.

Meanwhile, Laurent Benayoun, CEO of Acheron Trading and an expert in quantitative trading strategies, expects a potential cycle top of $180,000. On April 22, Fidelity Digital Assets revised its medium term outlook for Bitcoin, stating that Bitcoin is "no longer cheap."
