Veteran crypto trader Peter Brandt has warned that Bitcoin may see a major price correction before its next rally, citing historical patterns in the cryptocurrency’s bull cycles. He shared his analysis on X (formerly Twitter), showing how Bitcoin’s past bull markets have always been preceded by a significant price correction of 75% or more. While he predicts an eventual massive price rally, Brandt suggests that Bitcoin may face further drops before reaching its peak. In this context, Dogecoin creator Billy Markus reacted to the recent market crash with skepticism towards accusations of manipulation, arguing that rapid gains are considered organic while declines are blamed on whales. Meanwhile, Ripple secured a significant expansion in license, allowing the company to offer payment services across the region. This move comes with an expanded scope of activities under its MPI license and allows them to onboard more financial institutions for cross-border payments.
