The cryptocurrency community and many prominent investors have begun to focus on the Bitcoin halving event, a regularly occurring event that cuts Bitcoin's supply in half. With the next halving expected in April 2024, the Bitcoin mining reward will decrease from 6.25 BTC per block to 3.125 BTC.
Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao shared a post from his X account to remind everyone that the next BTC halving is only 135 days away.

Historically, the dynamics of supply and demand, reshaped by the halving of Bitcoin's supply, have led to an increase in the price of BTC as the Bitcoin halving event approaches.
The previous halvings in 2016 and 2020 showed that as the halving date approached, there was an increase in demand and a decrease in supply, impacting the value of BTC. For example, in the period leading up to the 2020 halving, when the price of Bitcoin was around $10,000, it surged to $19,000 before the halving. After the halving, BTC's price exhibited a parabolic increase, reaching an all-time high of $69,000.
Analyses suggest that investors tend to "sell the news" before the halving, leading to a potential rally during this period. However, as observed in past halvings, the rapid increase in price just before the halving can result in a pullback during the halving itself. These pullbacks, which were 38% in 2016 and 20% in 2020, typically follow a period of accumulation where the price remains relatively stable.
Investors should exercise patience during this period and navigate carefully after the halving to avoid disappointment if the expected outcomes do not materialize immediately.
Following the accumulation stage, Bitcoin experienced parabolic fluctuations, reaching new all-time highs. During this period, Bitcoin showed a tendency to rapidly reach the highest levels in its history. The accumulation stage refers to a period of sideways movement in the price where accumulation by investors usually takes place. This accumulation can be followed by significant price movements, resulting in parabolic increases observed in historical charts.
