Analyst Notes: Legendary cryptocurrency trader Peter Brandt projected Bitcoin to hit $125,000 by New Year.
"When BTC decides to “Mark-Up,” it never looks back. Throughout its history, when BTC runs – it runs," Brandt said.
Widely-followed cryptocurrency trader and analyst Scient predicted a halt in BTC's rally around $84-85,000, followed by a correction/consolidation for 7-10 days before resuming the uptrend.
"If it does happen, looking to bid between $71,000-$69,000," the trader stated.
