One of the market’s leading investors, Peter Brandt, has stated that BTC will see significant gains in 2025. The investor and expert made the prediction just as Bitcoin is starting to rise again. The asset has seen positive returns in recent days, shortly after the interest rate cut made by the US Federal Reserve. The token has seen a 5% increase in the last month, indicating that it could once again have good returns.
Furthermore, the analysis was released at a time when corporate interest in Bitcoin is increasing, as evidenced by the purchase of over 200 million USD worth of BTC by corporate investors. This boost may have been provided by the 10/10 IPC report.

Peter Brandt Bets on Bitcoin Hitting 135,000 USD Next Year
One of the most notable investors in the market has caught the market’s attention by predicting good growth for BTC in the coming year. Peter Brandt took to social media to express his optimistic expectations for the token. He believes that the asset should practically double in price by September 2025.
Here is the macro picture of Bitcoin $BTC
Observations:
-Huge gains come in post-half of halving cycles
-Period since Mar 2024 appears as insignificant, brief pause in ongoing trend
-My target is $135,000 in Aug/Sep 2025
-Close below $48K negates my chart analysis pic.twitter.com/niptj2Umu7— Peter Brandt (@PeterLBrandt) October 9, 2024
For him, recent fluctuations, with resistance levels below expectations, may be insignificant. This is because they are part of a larger scheme, which should result in the growth of the asset.
This aligns pretty closely with my macro outlook for this Bitcoin cycle, although my target is slightly lower in the $125k – $130k range, and I'm not sure about the timing. #NFA https://t.co/gBogdER0NV

The expert’s reasoning is based on the process caused by the BTC halving. According to Peter, Bitcoin is now going through the second half of the cycle caused by the event. This is because the reduction in the number of tokens in circulation does not have an immediate result. As with other halvings, the asset tends to fall first, and then reach new resistance levels.
Therefore, Brandt claims that the current situation for Bitcoin is a “brief and insignificant pause in the ongoing trend”. With this, the asset is poised for a very fast growth in the near future. This should be observed as early as the beginning of next year. Thus, there is a real possibility that Bitcoin will reach the 135,000 USD mark as early as the second half of next year.
However, he warns that if the current price of BTC drops by up to 25%, there is a chance that this optimistic projection will not be confirmed. Therefore, the warning value should be the resistance level below 48,000 USD. If this happens, Brandt’s projections may be invalidated.
Other experts were optimistic about Peter’s projections.
After posting his thoughts, other experts reacted to Brant’s positive projections. This is the case of Keith Alan, who expressed a rather cautious optimism regarding the current scenario. In a post on social network X, he stated that his projections align with those presented by Peter. However, he believes that the value of Bitcoin should remain in the range of 125 USD thousand, reaching a maximum of 130 USD thousand.
Among market analysts, Peter’s predictions carry extra weight. This is because he has been right on other occasions. In 2018, for example, he stated that the token’s price would fall to 3,200 USD, which came true shortly after. If his current prediction is correct, he should gain even more credibility in the market.
IPC report attracts attention of corporate investors
After months of bearishness, it finally seems that the market is entering a more optimistic phase. The economic crisis in the United States has wreaked havoc on the market, causing many investors to stop investing. In addition, the uncertainty has caused almost all digital assets to see their prices drop.
Now, Peter Brandt’s optimistic outlook comes at a very important time: the release of the US CPI data. The government’s data showed higher-than-expected numbers. This had a positive impact on the market almost instantly.
The report has sparked speculation about the Fed’s next steps. Experts expect the government to make another cut in interest rates, further reducing inflation. This is expected to be decided in November, when the agency is scheduled to meet again. If this happens, it will be the first time that two consecutive cuts have been made since the end of the Covid-19 pandemic.
With lower rates, the US dollar tends to have a drop in its value. As a result, taking out loans, for example, has a lower cost in the country. Furthermore, investments considered traditional also deliver a lower return, causing investors to look for more profitable alternatives. Therefore, assets linked to the digital market may attract greater attention from investors.
In this scenario, Bitcoin may stand out even more. This is because the token is more sought after by corporate investors. As a rule, they have more resources available to invest and can buy more tokens at once. This movement tends to boost the price, causing retail investors to also bet on this and other assets.
