Bitcoin is again forming a ‘three blind mice’ trading pattern: Peter Brandt

Veteran trader Peter Brandt has noted Bitcoin is forming a “three blind mice” pattern, with some interpreting the message to mean the asset could tumble lower in the coming days

In an Oct. 2 post to X, Brandt told his 740,000 followers that Bitcoin (BTC) is currently forming the “infamous Three Blind Mice and a Piece of Cheese” trading pattern.

According to technical analysis data from trading platform Morpher, the “three blind mice” pattern is typically seen as a “continuation” pattern, meaning that whatever direction the “three blind mice” are headed is where future price action will follow

Brandt last mentioned the three blind mice pattern in a post to X on Dec. 17, 2022, when Bitcoin was trading for around $17,000 and entered into a weekslong slump before breaking out sharply to the upside in January 2023

In an earlier Oct. 2 post to X, Brandt cautioned traders that Bitcoin’s most recent rally did not “disturb the 7-month sequence of lower highs and lower lows,” saying that Bitcoin is still locked in an ongoing downtrend.

“Only a close above 71,000 confirmed by a new ATH will indicate that the trend from the Nov 2022 low remains in force,” wrote Brandt

Several traders have speculated that Brandt’s “three blind mice” pattern is a more humorous take on the Three Black Crows pattern, which is used to indicate the reversal of an uptrend

The pattern’s namesake may also stem from the popular nursery rhyme, which repeats two stanzas of “three blind mice” with “see how they run.”
