Bitcoin Reaches New High Despite Recent Halving
Data from CryptoQuant reports that a significant amount of new Bitcoin investments are coming through spot Bitcoin ETFs, indicating a growing interest in the cryptocurrency. Market analysts are now looking to the upcoming April 2024 halving event, with expectations that the price could reach a new all-time high of $69,000, surpassing the previous high in November 2021.
Lessons from the 2020 Halving
The 2020 halving event saw a 30% drop in Bitcoin’s hash rate within two weeks, but the system quickly adapted and broke records with a new all-time high hash rate just seven weeks later. After the halving, Bitcoin’s price surged and reached a new high in just eight months.
Anticipating Transformative Changes
The upcoming halving will reduce miner rewards per block from 6.25 BTC to 3.125 BTC, aiming to cut Bitcoin’s inflation rate from 1.7% to 0.85% per year. Historical trends suggest that post-halving, miners tend to sell less, reducing their impact on the market. The prospect of FED rate cuts and increased interest from major institutions contribute to an 85% chance of Bitcoin revisiting its all-time highs within the next six months.
Bitcoin Price Analysis
Bitcoin is currently encountering resistance around $52,000, but the prevailing bullish momentum is indicated by the upward-sloping 20-day exponential moving average ($46,947). The relative strength index (RSI) hovering above 81 suggests a swift rally in the near term. If Bitcoin maintains its position above $52,000, a rally to $60,000 is expected.
