March 10 News: Veteran trader Peter Brandt recently pointed out that Bitcoin is forming a classic chart pattern he calls the “Banana Split,” suggesting that BTC prices could experience significant volatility. Brandt stated that the recent appearance of a “small banana” pattern may indicate Bitcoin is about to break through its historical price range, following previous market cycle patterns and building momentum for the next bull run.
Today, Peter Brandt shared a chart on X showing Bitcoin’s recent movements and potential price paths. He noted that short-term patterns within a long-term upward trend often lead to sharp fluctuations, and the “Banana Split” pattern repeats approximately every 52 weeks. The current “small banana” suggests Bitcoin could break out in the near term, further driving prices higher. Brandt’s bullish outlook marks a shift from his earlier long-term bearish stance. He predicts Bitcoin could see a price surge by October 2026.
Meanwhile, falling global oil prices and President Trump’s announcement that the U.S.-Iran conflict is nearing an end have boosted market sentiment. Bitcoin’s price rose 3.2% intraday to $69,803, up 2.7% over the past week, with a monthly increase of about 0.6%. Brandt’s weekly analysis shows Bitcoin remains within a large parabolic channel he calls the “Big Banana,” which historical data indicates has driven multiple cyclical rallies.
On the technical side, the “Banana Split” pattern suggests Bitcoin’s short-term price could rise rapidly. If a breakout occurs, the long-term target could be a potential high of $280,000. However, if the pattern fails to form as expected, prices could also face downward pressure. Overall, investors should closely monitor key price levels and market sentiment to determine the timing of the next market move.
