Bitcoin's Post-Halving Dip May Be Almost Over—Exponential Gains Could Be Next, Says Trader

Bitcoin’s BTC/USD historical post-halving dip could seen be over, according to a prominent trader, who expects a strong price rally soon. 

What Happened: Crypto trader TheScalpingPro on Friday pointed out that Bitcoin's post-halving dips have historically presented opportunities for accumulation. According to the trader, Bitcoin often experiences a consolidation or dip after each halving event, which many investors misinterpret as a distribution or cycle top, leading them to sell early or remain on the sidelines.

Pointing to historical statistics of Bitcoin halving cycles, Mags stated "In 2012, you’d miss a +12,100% gain. In 2016, you’d miss a +4,000% gain. In 2020, you’d miss a +700% gain." He estimated if Bitcoin reaches $200,000 in 2024, those who sell could miss a +250% gain.

The latest Bitcoin halving took place on April 19, implying that the crypto markets are more than two months into the post-Halving cycle. In April 2024, crypto trader The Flow Horse forecasted a pattern of drops and bounces to repeat three to four times until emotional fatigue sets in, leading to a market slowdown until Labor Day. JPMorgan has predicted significant Bitcoin appreciation in the months following the halving.
