Rekt Capital compared Bitcoin's post-halving period in 2020 and 2024 and found a high degree of similarity. After both halving events, Bitcoin entered a phase of re-accumulation that lasted about 161 days. In 2020, the period ended in a parabolic rally as Bitcoin broke through its repeatedly tested resistance level. The support and resistance levels in both periods show continued testing and retesting for possible upward momentum.
The halving impact led to a decrease in fee income, and block subsidies became the main source of income for bitcoin miners. Of the $25.35 million miners earned per day on September 13, only $398,860 came from transaction fees, or just 1.6% of total revenue. This is a significant change from the previous period, when transaction fees topped out at more than 40% of miners' revenue. Analysts say that with block subsidies halved every four years, transaction fees will only grow in importance in cyb...

The bitcoin mining industry is expected to see consolidation in the next 18 months...

Bitcoin miners are looking to activities other than bitcoin mining to bridge the income gap before and after the halving, such as hosting artificial intelligence computers. Shares of the top five crypto miners have all rallied in recent days as bitcoin prices have rebounded, with the only stock lagging behind being Iris Energy Ltd. (IREN), which fell 15% after Culper Research released a report last week revealing its short position in IREN. Culper is bearish because researchers believe Iris' fac...

Historical data shows that bitcoin short-term holders tend to increase transfer activity during major price declines, reflecting panic selling.

The data shows that following the block reward halving event on April 20, the revenue earned by bitcoin miners per TH/s (7-day MA) has hit a record low in the past two months. In addition to the halving, another possible reason for the decrease in miner income is the low number of new wallets entering the bitcoin ecosystem, which is currently at its lowest level since 2018 (7-day MA). It is worth mentioning that mining company CleanSpark is still performing well, and its share price has outperfo...
