Peter Brandt, a prominent trader and respected figure in the crypto world, recently sounded the alarm about a potential Bitcoin (BTC) collapse.
In a recent tweet, Brandt highlighted a "head and shoulders" pattern on Bitcoin's price chart, a signal that, if completed, could spell trouble for the leading cryptocurrency.
At press time, Bitcoin's price stands at $27,434.88, according to data from CoinGecko, with a 24-hour trading volume of over $22 billion.
The "head and shoulders" pattern is a technical analysis charting pattern that signals a potential reversal in price trends. It consists of a peak (shoulder), followed by a higher peak (head) and then another lower peak (shoulder).
Interestingly, Bitcoin's price saw a spike after the latest CPI report, suggesting an easing of inflation rates. The flagship cryptocurrency reached an intraday high of $28,883 on May 10, only to erase some of its gains later in the day.
However, Bitcoin briefly fell below $27,000 amid concerns about market liquidity. Bloomberg attributed the drop to declining participation from institutional market makers.
