Bitcoin’s ‘Shooting Star’ Pattern Raises Red Flag, Peter Brandt Backs It

As a seasoned researcher with a decade-long experience in the volatile world of cryptocurrencies, I find the recent Bitcoin price prediction both intriguing and slightly concerning. Over the years, I’ve learned to read market trends like some people read a good book, and this “shooting star” pattern on Bitcoin’s weekly chart is reminiscent of a chapter from a familiar script.


A fresh prediction for the price of Bitcoin (BTC) has sparked concern within the cryptocurrency community. This prediction suggests a “shooting star” pattern on Bitcoin’s weekly chart, which might indicate a negative outlook. The analysis indicates that this pattern, characterized by a large upper wick, could signify an impending change in direction for Bitcoin as it hovers near its historical peak.

The appearance of this “shooting star” shape on price charts usually indicates a decrease in buying enthusiasm and an increase in selling activity at resistance levels, potentially signaling a possible shift in market trend.

In the field of technical analysis, a shooting star pattern occurs when the price of an asset initially rises significantly but then falls back to close near its opening price, creating a long tail or ‘wick’ at the top. This configuration often appears when buyers fail to sustain the price increase, encountering resistance that may suggest a potential downturn.

Last week, a new shooting-star formation occurred in the Bitcoin market as it attempted – yet failed by nearly 1% – to surpass its peak from March. This has left some questioning whether the current surge in price is as robust as it appears.

Legendary trader weighs in

This cautious viewpoint is further reinforced by the recent resharing of a prediction on social media by respected Bitcoin trader and advocate, Peter Brandt. Earlier, he suggested that for a significant Bitcoin surge to occur, the price needed to exceed $76,000 per BTC in a daily chart, with a weekly confirmation coming from a close above that level at midnight on Sunday.

In summary, it appears that negative indicators surrounding past record-high levels signal a potential requirement for Bitcoin to stabilize more before any long-term upward trend might occur.
