Senior trader Peter Brandt predicts that Bitcoin could reach $250k by the end of 2029, but this will only happen after a prolonged period of bottoming out, possibly not until September or October 2026.
His view is based on Bitcoin's four-year halving cycle in history, where bull markets typically peak 16 to 18 months after the halving and bottom out about a year after the peak.
Brandt's perspective is quite different from some analysts who believe the bear market ended in February. He emphasizes that if Bitcoin's price movement deviates from past cycle patterns, he will adjust his forecast.

Bitcoin has demonstrated greater resilience than oil and the stock market in responding to the recent escalation of tensions in Iran. Even as traditional markets adjust to Middle Eastern risks, Bitcoin has only experienced a slight decline.
The recent escalation, including regaining control of the Strait of Hormuz and the U.S. threat to Iran's infrastructure, reversed the three-week downward trend in the risk value of energy and stock sectors.
After each Iran-related shock, Bitcoin sell-offs gradually subside, indicating that this cryptocurrency may largely reflect geopolitical risks. Traders

President Trump told reporters on Air Force One that the window for a diplomatic solution is rapidly closing.
When asked whether he would extend the temporary ceasefire agreement set to expire this Wednesday, the president replied, "Maybe I won't extend it... then we'll have to bomb again."
