Legendary trader Peter Brandt cautions that the recent Bitcoin price increase is not the start of a new bull market but a temporary move within a bearish channel. This view is supported by rising US inflation data, with producer price index (PPI) inflation hitting 6%, higher than expected, and revised inflation figures indicating accelerating inflation pressures. Brandt highlights Bitcoin's rejection at the upper boundary of a bearish channel and signals a potential drop if prices close below $79,145, suggesting a further decline toward the channel's lower boundary. This warns investors that Bitcoin has not yet found a bottom and may face prolonged downward pressure amid macroeconomic challenges.
