Bitcoin is more likely to face further correction and a prolonged range than a sharp short-term rebound, a forecast said. Legendary trader Peter Brandt (피터 브란트) said bitcoin could remain in a downward channel, dismissing a bullish flag interpretation. He cited moving-average pressure and an ADX reading of 28.27 as evidence sellers remain in control. Brandt kept a long-term upside target near $127,500, but said it requires a confirmed breakout above the channel.

As expectations grow for easing tensions surrounding the United States and Iran, three U.S.-linked AI tokens are being cited as potential rebound candidates. On May 25, blockchain outlet BeInCrypto named Near Protocol, Render and Worldcoin as beneficiaries of a recovery in preference for U.S. growth assets. The report highlighted recent price gains, chart patterns and key technical levels that could shape further moves.
