I just saw an interesting analysis from Peter Brandt on social media about Bitcoin's prospects. He previously predicted the crash in 2018 accurately, and this time he suggests that the real bottom might only appear in October 2026, not now. There might also be another dip down to $60,000 in Q3 2026.

What's interesting is that the market is now divided. While Peter Brandt warns, some other analysts see the current price as quite attractive for entering positions. Bitcoin is around $77,770, up 17% in the last 30 days, and Ethereum is at $2,320, also up 16% over the same period. Data from exchanges forecast a 41% chance that Bitcoin will return to $60,000 before the end of February, but there's also a 29% chance it could go back to $75,000.

What I notice is that stablecoin trading volume has increased by about 200% over 18 months, indicating that investors are still waiting for the right opportunity. For Ethereum, the market predicts a 76% probability of reaching $1,500 in 2026. Anyway, it seems like we’re heading into a pretty volatile year ahead.
