Bitcoin: Charting’s Obedient Pet or Market Maverick?

by

In the vast, bewildering universe of cryptocurrency, where numbers dance like drunken astronauts and charts resemble the doodles of a particularly bored alien, veteran trader Peter Brandt has decided to set the record straight. Or, as straight as anything can be in a world where money is made of ones and zeros and the laws of physics are merely suggestions.

Brandt, a man who’s seen more market cycles than most of us have had hot dinners, took to the Twitterverse (or should we say, the X-files) to address a peculiar misconception: the idea that charting doesn’t work on Bitcoin. “Amusing,” he quipped, with the kind of dry wit that could only come from someone who’s spent 40 years watching humans make the same financial mistakes over and over again. “Bitcoin,” he declared, “obeys the rules of classical charting better than most markets.” Which, if you think about it, is like saying a cat obeys the rules of the house better than the dog. It’s not that it’s true; it’s just that the cat is smarter about when to break them.

“Actually, Bitcoin obeys the rules of classical charting (Schabacker, Edwards/Magee) better than most markets,” Brandt said, probably while sipping a cup of tea and shaking his head at the cryptomaniacs of the world. He even included a note to said cryptomaniacs, complete with a laughing emoji, because what’s a serious financial discussion without a bit of digital laughter?

Note to cryptomaniacs
I find it amusing when I read on X chatter that charting does not work on an asset like Bitcoin.🤣

Brandt, who once predicted Bitcoin’s price drop with the accuracy of a soothsayer reading tea leaves, isn’t just blowing hot air. In January, he foresaw Bitcoin falling to $58,000 to $62,000, and lo and behold, it did. From $97,000 in January to $60,000 in February, Bitcoin took a nosedive that would make even the most seasoned rollercoaster enthusiast queasy. At the time of writing, BTC was down 5.57% in the last 24 hours to $65,828, proving once again that the only thing certain in life is uncertainty.

The rest of the crypto market, meanwhile, is trading in the red, thanks to rising U.S. Treasury yields and a stronger dollar. It’s like a financial version of a horror movie, where the monsters are inflation and the victims are your retirement savings. The recent market decline has seen $469.22 million in long bets liquidated, while shorts came in at $45.52 million, totaling a whopping $514.77 million. Because nothing says ‘fun’ like watching your investments evaporate into thin air.

Bitcoin has been bouncing between $60,000 and $75,000 like a ping-pong ball in a wind tunnel, stubbornly refusing to revisit its October 2025 all-time high of $126,000. About $14 billion of Bitcoin options are set to expire on Friday, which is like a financial version of New Year’s Eve, complete with fireworks and hangovers. If Bitcoin rises above $75,000, it could trigger further gains as bearish positions unwind. If it declines, well, let’s just say $60,000 is looking like a very comfortable support level.

So, there you have it. Bitcoin: the asset that obeys the rules better than most, yet still manages to keep us all on the edge of our seats. Will it soar to new heights, or will it plummet into the financial abyss? Only time will tell. And in the meantime, we’ll be here, sipping our tea and watching the chaos unfold. Because, as Douglas Adams once said, “Don’t Panic.” Unless, of course, you’re holding a lot of Bitcoin. Then maybe panic a little.
