  "account": "Veteran trader Peter Brandt predicts Bitcoin could soar to between $300,000 and $600,000 by late 2029, potentially reaching a peak of $600,000. He sees the bear market ending around October 4, but believes the market was ahead of him. Brandt believes a pullback to $65,000 or $66,000 in early October could shake out late buyers and provide investment opportunities. He has raised his forecast for Bitcoin's next peak, up from $250,000 to $300,000 in July to $300,000 to $600,000 now. Brandt remains skeptical of XRP, dismissing it as a \"fool coin\" despite Ripple's banking partnerships. He advises investors to consider a crypto allocation of up to 10%, with Bitcoin taking the largest share of the portfolio.",
  "summary": "An October pullback could offer a buying opportunity before Bitcoin’s next cycle peak, which Brandt expects between $300,000 and $600,000. He’s not sold on “fool coin” XRP.",
