#BTC cycle peak :

#Brandt sparked debate after suggesting BTC may have already hit its peak this cycle, but even he didn’t put much stock in the theory.
On April 27, veteran trader and analyst Peter Brandt posted a theory suggesting that Bitcoin’s bull market cycles have exhibited an “exponential decay” pattern.
This occurs when each successive cycle has a peak price of only around 20% of the previous cycle’s peak gain. The data shows that this has happened in the last three Bitcoin market cycles.
“Worded another way, 80% of the exponential energy of each successful bull market cycle has been lost,” said Brandt.
Based on this decay rate, Brandt estimated the current cycle would only see a 4.5x gain from the low of around $15,500. Thus, the cycle top has been projected to be around $70,000 — a level it already reached in March when prices topped $73,000.
