Now the market air is clear the buzz is for the fourth Bitcoin halving event anticipated in spring 2024. This impending event will halve miners’ rewards and consequently halve the new Bitcoin supply. Investors and traders are betting high on next year’s halving event since the market has been volatile and uncertain with macroeconomic factors.

Shooting for 94X. Can History Repeat?  

Historically a good time? Bitcoin’s historical halving events have triggered monumental price surges: a 94x increase in 2012, a 30x surge in 2016, and a substantial 6x rise in 2020, leading to an all-time high of $69,000 in 2021.

Projections indicate that following this trend, a potential 6x surge post-2024 halving could propel Bitcoin to $220,000, aligning with forecasts from Bitcoin advocate Max Keiser. However, Bitcoin faces significant resistance at $38,500, stirring anticipation and caution among investors due to potential volatility.

Observers closely monitor Bitcoin’s movements, recognizing the pivotal role this resistance level will play in charting Bitcoin’s immediate course amidst selling pressure in the market. This crossover, followed by the looming halving event, promises an interesting phase, pumping market sentiments and strategies.
