TechFlame News: Renowned trader and chart analyst Peter Brandt, who accurately predicted the 2018 Bitcoin crash, suggests that the Bitcoin market may not have hit its true bottom yet, stating that "the real bottom might not arrive until October 2026." He previously forecasted that Bitcoin could drop to around $60,000 in the third quarter of 2026. Brandt believes that prices may fluctuate upward in the short term but could still fall back to the high $50,000 range within the year. Meanwhile, Arthur Hayes points out that Ethereum prices may continue to trade sideways within the current range until U.S. dollar liquidity improves. As of press time, Ethereum is trading at approximately $1,941, with a decline of over 40% in the past 30 days.
