On January 11th, after U.S. non-farm payroll data fell below expectations and market sentiment fluctuated, discussions about the future trend of Bitcoin heated up again.

Previously, well-known trader Tom Lee publicly expressed a bullish outlook on Bitcoin in November last year, predicting it would rise to $200,000 within 50 days. This bold view attracted industry attention but also drew some skepticism.

Chart analysis expert Peter Brandt recently shared his thoughts on such predictions. He straightforwardly stated: "I won't blindly follow those who are overly committed to their own positions. What I rely on is my own analysis framework and decision-making process." Brandt emphasized that he remains cautious about any specific forecasts or investment advice.

This clash of viewpoints reflects the true picture within the trading community—everyone has their own methodology. Some dare to make aggressive predictions, while others prefer calm analysis. When it comes to key assets like BTC, ultimately, it depends on the investor's risk tolerance and market understanding.

Tom Lee's $200,000 prophecy...... Haha, it still depends on the thickness of your own wallet. --- Brandt's words are spot on; blindly copying others only invites trouble. --- As soon as non-farm payrolls are released, all kinds of theories start flying around. This is when your mindset is truly tested. --- Honestly, you still need your own trading system; don't let influencers set the pace. --- $200,000? I'll just watch quietly. Anyway, I'm already prepared to lose money. --- Market volatility is the easiest time to be driven by emotions. A cautious attitude is indeed something to learn. --- Everyone's method is different; the key is just not to get liquidated. --- When non-farm data is released, the market explodes. Predictions at this time are just playing tricks.

Tom Lee's prediction of 200,000 dollars... Just take it as a story to listen to. Honestly, those who dare to boast recklessly get attention, while those who are steady and reliable are ignored. Peter is right, you still have to trust your own market intuition.

Tom Lee's $200,000 prediction... still waiting for it😅 Just listen and forget about it, doing your own research is the most important Non-farm data has risen again, now is the test of your mindset Brandt is right, everyone in this circle has their own opinions, but in the end, you still have to trust your own judgment $200,000... hmm... focus on the fundamentals first This discussion is like a story after dinner, just listen to the story The point about risk tolerance is well said, don't be brainwashed by predictions Getting proven wrong or right is just a matter of timing, haha Non-farm data doesn't look good, but it doesn't mean everything has changed, right? Listening to big influencers is not as good as listening to your own wallet Predictions are always easy, execution is the real key

20 million USD? Is Tom Lee dreaming haha --- Brandt is right, don’t trust anyone, only trust your own trades --- As soon as non-farm payrolls drop, all kinds of predictions start flying around, so annoying --- Honestly, listening to predictions is a waste of time, looking at charts yourself is more reliable --- $200,000 in 50 days... how much is it now, I’ve already lost track --- The last sentence is brilliant, really depends on how much you can lose --- Tom Lee is really out of line this time, Peter Brandt is much more reliable --- I just want to know whose prediction gets proven wrong the most brutally

200,000 USD? LOL, Tom Lee is starting to tell stories again --- Brandt's point is valid; following predictions blindly is just a rookie mentality --- Honestly, it still depends on yourself; don't believe everything --- Poor non-farm payroll data + various experts' blabber, this market movement is hard to understand --- 50 days to reach 200,000? Then can I reach 1,000,000 in 200 days? Haha --- Just listen, real money still depends on yourself to bear
