Bitcoin’s Post-Halving Performance: Only the second epoch with price rise at this cycle point

Quick Take
The Bitcoin halving on April 20, 2024, sparked considerable interest. In the nearly two months since the event, Bitcoin’s price has increased by over 7%. This positive performance is noteworthy, as it marks only the second time Bitcoin has seen a price rise post-halving at this point in a cycle. This highlights the difficulty of generating immediate gains after such an event.
