On December 15, Peter Brandt — a renowned trader and chart analyst who correctly predicted Bitcoin’s sharp 2018 drop — said this morning that the cryptocurrency’s bull market cycle has undergone exponential decay. While the current Bitcoin bull run saw parabolic growth, it has now fallen below its parabolic trend line. Historically, Bitcoin has averaged an 80% drop after breaking below such a parabolic trend line. Based on that 80% decline, Brandt projects Bitcoin’s bottom will hit $25,240. In November, Brandt had forecast Bitcoin could bottom at $60,000.

Dec. 15 — Market analyst Gabriel Rubin says U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen’s tight grip on the selection process for the next Federal Reserve Chair means whoever takes the role will be significantly influenced by her. Per government statements, Yellen has laid out clear criteria for Jerome Powell’s successor: any regulatory agenda must align with the White House; interest rates should be cut sharply, as concerns over tariff-driven inflation are overblown; and government debt issuance and management should fall to the Treasury, not the Fed. Rubin also warns the U.S. will eventually face another economic or financial crisis. A weakened Fed’s independence means more power will shift to the government when a crisis strikes. The central bank relies on public trust and confidence to curb inflation and maintain healthy credit conditions — assets the Trump-era Treasury Department couldn’t deliver.
