- Bitcoin’s market struggle deepens, Brandt sees potential for $58K drop.
- Major shakeup ahead as Bitcoin’s price faces a sharp downturn.
- Peter Brandt warns of continued volatility, Bitcoin to test new lows.
Veteran trader Peter Brandt has warned Bitcoin investors that the cryptocurrency’s current correction is far from over. According to Brandt’s recent post on X (formerly Twitter), he believes Bitcoin’s price is headed for a significant drop. After Bitcoin plunged to the $77,000 range on January 31, Brandt identified a target of $58,000 for the next major downside move.
Brandt used a train metaphor to emphasize the urgency of caution. He stated, “The conductor will be coming through the train collecting tickets so make sure you are on the right train. Choo choo $BTC.” This analogy highlights the need for Bitcoin holders to stay aware of the ongoing correction.

Major Downturn Ahead for Bitcoin?
Brandt’s prediction is based on a detailed long-term chart of Bitcoin’s performance against the U.S. Dollar. The chart, which includes the “Bitcoin Power Law V2.0” indicator, illustrates Bitcoin’s price trends dating back to 2012. Currently, Bitcoin is trading within a massive logarithmic growth channel with three key zones. Recently, Bitcoin tested a higher zone near $98,000 but was sharply rejected, signaling a potential deeper correction.
According to Brandt, Bitcoin’s price is now in a historically significant range of $37,000–$62,000. This zone has historically marked strong buying opportunities. However, Brandt’s analysis suggests that the price is now on track to pull back toward the middle of the channel, which aligns with his $58,000 target.
January 2026 Sets the Stage for Bitcoin’s Plunge
The beginning of 2026 has been troubling for Bitcoin, with a particularly ominous monthly candle for January. The candle’s wick shows a high of $97,939 and a low of $75,555, indicating heavy selling pressure as Bitcoin failed to sustain momentum above the $100,000 mark. This pattern, combined with Brandt’s chart analysis, suggests that a correction is imminent, with the price likely to fall to the $58k–$60k range.
Brandt’s warning reflects the volatile nature of the cryptocurrency market. As Bitcoin faces continued selling pressure, investors may need to prepare for a potential crash toward the $58,000 mark. The next few weeks will be crucial for Bitcoin’s market trajectory, as it navigates through this challenging phase.
