Having registered the highest weekly close since inception, Bitcoin price has officially entered the most interesting period of the macro bull market, which is best described by a parabolic rally.
According to a well-sharpened trader Peter Brandt, Bitcoin price is depicting a similar price action to Gold in the macro time frame.
Brandt noted that Bitcoin price action since March 2021 to date is similar to that of Gold between 2010 and early 2024.
With a long-term target of $260k, Brandt has previously argued that Bitcoin price will remain in price discovery until the second half of 2025, before entering the next major bearish cycle in the subsequent years.
