Peter Brandt, the veteran chart reader with over thirty years of experience, delivered the final blow to crypto fans this week. According to him, we can expect a correction of around 30% from now on, meaning we’ll soon be looking at a price of $58,000 for Bitcoin. A second analysis wasn’t immediately available, so we quickly asked AI if Peter was right.

AI is now ubiquitous and has a lot to say about crypto and Bitcoin. While gold and silver are expected to rise sharply again in 2026, Bitcoin is stagnating, so we asked Grok and ChatGPT if Peter’s prediction would come true.
Asked about the likelihood of Bitcoin’s price falling to the $58,000 level, ChatGPT offered a cautious assessment.
“A move toward $58,000 would not be unusual in the context of Bitcoin’s historical volatility,” the AI said.
ChatGPT added that technical corrections often occur even during broader uptrends.
“Absent a clear improvement in risk appetite or liquidity, downside retracements remain a realistic scenario rather than a crash narrative,” it said.
Elon Musk’s AI assistant Grok was more direct, and admitted that a collapse in the coming weeks or months was indeed possible.
“Calling a dip to $58,000 is not out of the ordinary, especially when Bitcoin is as crazy as is,” Grok said. “Bitcoin has made bigger drops. If liquidity tightens or risk assets wobble, $58,000 isn’t shocking,” it added.
