A Brief Overview of Previous Bitcoin Halving & Its Effects on the Market
Bitcoin halving is an event that occurs every four years and halves the reward for miners who successfully mine a new block.
The Bitcoin protocol is heavily reliant on a concept known as mining. Mining is an essential part of the Bitcoin network and this is the process of verifying transactions on the Bitcoin blockchain, and has a significant impact on the Bitcoin market, as it affects the supply and demand of the Bitcoin.
The first halving of Bitcoin occurred in 2012 and marked a major milestone in the cryptocurrency's history. Halving process reduces the amount of new Bitcoins created and released into circulation every 10 minutes, thereby reducing inflation and increasing the scarcity of Bitcoin. The halving event was seen as a bullish sign for the future of Bitcoin, as it suggests that demand for the digital currency is increasing while supply is decreasing.
The rest of halvings in 2016 and 2020 Bitcoin price was followed by a pre-event and post-halving bullish rally which saw Bitcoin prices soar to all-time highs in 2017 and 2021 respectively.

The Bitcoin halving of 2024 will be one of the most anticipated events in the cryptocurrency world. It is expected to have a major impact on the price of Bitcoin, and many experts are predicting that it could result in a significant increase in its value. It is important for investors to understand how this event is affecting the market so that they can make informed decisions about their investments.
As we approach the Bitcoin halving, it is important to understand what it means and how it will impact the cryptocurrency market. 2024 year's halving will reduce the reward for miners from 6.25 BTC, the next block reward will be 3.125 BTC per block mined, which could have a significant effect on the price of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

The halving events of Bitcoin have been divided into sectors in a chart to provide an insightful look into its history. It is interesting to note that each halving event is marked with a unique color, starting with number 0. This chart also provides a glimpse into the changes in Bitcoin's value during these events 1-2-3, and how they have impacted the growth of Bitcoin
1 Rising phase (2013, 2017, 2021)
2 Crash phase (2014, 2018, 2022)
3 Bottom Phase (2015, 2018, 2023?)
According to this trend we can expect that 2023 is the Bottom phase of the cycle, and is likely to see prices double as investors look to make profits on the increasing scarcity of Bitcoin. After this, it's likely that we'll experience a rapid rise back towards new All-time Highs (ATH), as investors FOMO to take advantage of the increased demand.
The bitcoin halving of 2024 will be a pivotal moment. After the halving, the amount of newly mined bitcoins will be reduced by half and this could lead to a significant change in the Bitcoin price. This may have both positive and negative implications for the value of bitcoin, however it might be a pure math of Supply and Demand.
