Bitcoin has once again taken center stage in financial circles, surging past the $52,700 mark and underlining a robust demand for the cryptocurrency. Data from CryptoQuant, a leading on-chain analytics firm, reveals that a staggering 75% of new Bitcoin investments are flowing through spot Bitcoin ETFs, underscoring the escalating interest in the digital asset.
As Bitcoin continues its triumphant climb, market analysts are setting their sights on the looming April 2024 halving event. There is a prevailing belief that the price may catapult to its all-time high (ATH) of $69,000, last witnessed in November 2021.
Recalling the 2020 halving, which led to a reduction in the block reward to 6.25 BTC, a subsequent 30% dip in Bitcoin’s hash rate within two weeks raised eyebrows. Yet, the system swiftly adapted, breaking records with a new all-time high hash rate just seven weeks later.
After the May 2020 halving, Bitcoin’s price soared, reaching a new pinnacle in a mere eight months.
Fast forward to the present, where the forthcoming halving promises transformative changes. The miner rewards per block will undergo a halving, diminishing from 6.25 BTC to 3.125 BTC. Despite an expected dip in Bitcoin’s hash rate post-halving, the move aims to cut Bitcoin’s inflation rate from 1.7% to 0.85% per year.
Meanwhile, historical trends indicate that post-halving, miners tend to sell less, thus reducing their impact on the market.
Factors at Play
Beyond the halving anticipation, the prospect of FED rate cuts and heightened interest from major institutions in Bitcoin contribute to a projected 85% chance of the cryptocurrency revisiting its all-time highs within the next six months.
Amidst the excitement, Bitcoin encounters resistance around $52,000, but the prevailing bullish momentum is evident through the upward-sloping 20-day exponential moving average ($46,947). Conversely, a dip below this average may signal a short-term reversal.
Simultaneously, 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 anticipated.
