All news is rigorously fact-checked and reviewed by leading blockchain experts and seasoned industry insiders.
- Based on a four-year Bitcoin cycle that is marked by the halving event, crypto experts believe the top coin will rally beyond its ATH within twelve months after April 25 next year.
- On-chain data compiled by market intelligence platform Santiment shows mid to large-sized wallets have gained steam in accumulation by adding about 71,155 BTCs in the past six weeks alone.
The Bitcoin (BTC) movement has proved its resilience as a global reserve asset with intrinsic value despite the collapse of notable crypto-related firms due to poor management. The notable high demand from trillion-dollar hedge funds is an indication that Bitcoin is well positioned to rally beyond its ATH after next year’s halving event that reduces the miners’ block rewards from the current 6.25 coins to 3.125 units.
Interestingly, a former BlackRock top executive recently highlighted that the United States Securities and Exchanges Commission (SEC) is much more likely to approve all the spot Bitcoin ETFs within the next six months, which will open a floodgate for over $30 billion to the Bitcoin market in the subsequent months.
Bitcoin Price Action in Relation to the Halving Event
Having packaged itself as a four-year cycle trading instrument based on assured programmed features, Bitcoin’s (BTC) price action is expected to begin its long-awaited bull run in a few months. According to the founder of Capriole Investments and a respected quantitative trader Charlse Edwards, 44 percent of all Bitcoin’s returns have taken place within the 12 months after every halving event.
Notably, Edwards argued that Bitcoins returns can be expected soon as the FTX dust settles and the regulatory scope in the United States improves. Additionally, the Bitcoin price action is expected to react bullishly after the US SEC approves the dozen spot Bitcoin ETFs led by BlackRock, Fidelity, and Grayscale Investments, among many others.

The Bitcoin bullish outlook is also bolstered by the high accumulation by mid and large-sized holders, according to an on-chain analysis conducted by market intelligence platform Santiment.
Notably, mid and large-sized wallets that hold between 1 and 10,000 BTCs now hold about 15.2 million coins, their largest since the onset of the 2022 bear market.
Moreover, the mid and large-sized Bitcoin wallets have added about 71,155 units in the past six weeks alone. As a result, the Bitcoin supply on crypto exchanges has dropped to the lowest since December 2017.
With all these parameters put together, Bitcoin price has a higher bullish affinity despite the $28k level acting as a notable resistance level.
Bigger Picture
A recent study found out that the crypto market has about 420 million users across the world with Asia leading the rest of the world. Meanwhile, mainstream adoption of digital assets through the web3 industry – that encompasses gamify, lending, staking, and NFTs among many other sectors – is expected to be expedited by the huge influx of instructional money seeking to diversify from the high global inflation.
