Legendary trader Peter Brandt makes astonishing Bitcoin (BTC) prediction

A recent tweet by on-chain analytics firm Glassnode from May 22 reports that Bitcoin's seven-day price range, 3.4%, is one of the tightest over the last three years. This is on par with trading that took place in January 2023 and July 2020, the firm continues, and in both cases this "preceded large market moves," which suggests that "high volatility is likely on the horizon."

He further notes, though, that this is just a guess and claims that it is the best he has to offer.
