Veteran market analyst Peter Brandt has taken a fruity approach with his latest Bitcoin (BTC) price forecast.
His terminology might sound like a dessert menu, but the technical analysis points to an extremely bullish setup for the world’s leading cryptocurrency.
The “banana split”
After a steep and humongous plunge in late January and early February 2026, the sell-off exhausted itself. Now, the market is in the middle of choppy consolidation.
Bitcoin has slowly carved out a rounded, upward-sloping channel in lieu of a sharp “V-shaped” recovery.

The probability of a massive breakout depends on the momentum that has been accumulated within this current bowl.
