$BTC For years, Bitcoin’s four-year halving cycle felt almost predictable. Each halving reduced miner rewards, tightened supply, and historically helped spark a bull run that peaked about 12 to 18 months later.
For over a decade, the rhythm felt almost mechanical.
2012 halving → 2013 peak
2016 halving → 2017 peak
2020 halving → 2021 peak
Then came April 2024. Miner rewards dropped to 3.125 BTC, and expectations were clear: strong rally, euphoric top, then a cooldown.
