Peter Brandt, a popular veteran futures trader who has been outspoken about cryptocurrency market conditions and prices, has done a negative analysis of the world’s largest digital currency by market capitalization, Bitcoin (BTC).
Brandt made a prediction earlier today that Bitcoin could fall as low as $12,700 in the near future unless the asset class closes above the May 31 high, when BTC surged to $32,206.
