Veteran trader Peter Brandt spots "major" turning points on the Bitcoin (BTC) price chart.
The renowned trader was replying to a tweet from @htltimor, who pointed out a price pattern on the Bitcoin chart that he called a "bottom structure."
These are called price walls and typically represent MAJOR turning points https://t.co/J12cxGezrv

Brandt, on the other hand, responded that the pattern depicted was called a price wall, and those typically represent major turning points.
Visually, the volume of orders forms a "wall" when graphed against the price and can be identified as price points where large volumes of buy or sell orders are set, respectively.
Brandt tweeted his analysis of Bitcoin (BTC), as was previously reported, and said that the price of BTC had created a "double-walled fulcrum pattern," which is an extremely rare event. He sets a mid-$25,000 2X target for the leading cryptocurrency.
As reported by Bloomberg, Mike Novogratz, a proponent of cryptocurrencies, said there was a good chance of Bitcoin returning to $30,000 by the end of March, which is still about 25% higher than its present price. At the time of writing, Bitcoin was up 3.05% at $24,488.

He says the recent development of Bitcoin ordinals and inscriptions is truly astounding, and this shift might happen if adoption continues to accelerate.
In a thread of tweets, he stated several milestones reached by the Bitcoin network. One of which was the massive increase seen in the average Bitcoin block size, which has constantly reached values well above 2 MB in the past week.
The Glassnode CTO says that this is the first significant BTC block size increase since the 1 MB cap was removed with Segwit in August 2017. While the recent average block size had evened out at around 1.2 MB, hourly values are now exceeding 3.2 MB.
