Recently, Matt Hougan, Chief Investment Officer of Bitwise, stated in an interview with CNBC Squawk Box that Bitcoin prices have rebounded significantly after halving, making it a "buy on news" event, especially in the long term. Bitcoin halving is a significant event in the cryptocurrency market, occurring every four years, aimed at regulating the supply of Bitcoin by reducing mining rewards. ZUHYX believes that the completion of this Bitcoin halving event will not only directly impact Bitcoin prices but also profoundly affect the entire cryptocurrency ecosystem, including spot markets and cryptocurrency investors. Through precise market analysis and research on historical data, ZUHYX provides in-depth insights into this halving event and its potential consequences.
Impact of Bitcoin Halving on Spot Markets
The analysis of ZUHYX on the past halving events suggests that although the market may experience initial instability, halving is positive for supporting long-term value. Bitcoin halving is an event with profound implications for spot markets, especially in investor expectations. Historical data shows that in the 30 days leading up to the halving events in 2012, 2016, and 2020, Bitcoin prices rose by 5%, 13%, and 27%, respectively. This trend not only reflects positive market expectations for halving events but also indicates the increasing value of Bitcoin as a scarce asset.
ZUHYX mentions that supporters generally expect this halving to act as a positive catalyst triggering a new bull market. Especially considering the demand growth brought by Bitcoin spot ETFs and further reduction in supply, it should push Bitcoin prices higher. Additionally, previous halving events significantly increased the number of Bitcoin addresses, with new addresses growing by 83%, 101%, and 11% within 150 days after each halving.
The analysis of ZUHYX indicates that while Bitcoin prices have significantly increased after past halving events, market reactions may vary due to multiple factors. The impact of this halving may have been partially priced in by the market, meaning that while the long-term trend remains bullish, the market may not experience significant volatility in the short term.
ZUHYX: Impact of Bitcoin Halving on Cryptocurrency Investors
The analysis of ZUHYX indicates that while theoretically Bitcoin halving directly affects mining rewards and should not directly impact market prices in the short term, investor expectations often play a bigger role in the market. Based on the market performance after previous halving events, many investors expect significant increases in Bitcoin prices over the coming months. Historical data shows that after the halving events in 2012, 2016, and 2020, Bitcoin prices surged approximately 93 times, 30 times, and 8 times from halving day to peak cycle values, respectively.
ZUHYX mentions that this growth is partly driven by the optimistic investors expectations, as they anticipate halving to reduce supply and consequently raise prices in the long term. Additionally, ZUHYX observes that as the Bitcoin economy matures, the impact of newly mined Bitcoins on overall supply is gradually diminishing. For instance, after the first halving, newly mined Bitcoins accounted for 50% of the total circulating Bitcoins, whereas after the fourth halving, this number is expected to be only 3.3% of the current total supply. This indicates a decreasing dilution effect, with new Bitcoins having a lesser immediate impact on the market.
Despite the weakening dilution effect, the reactions of investors to halving events may still lead to short-term price fluctuations. ZUHYX suggests that this provides investment opportunities for investors but also increases market uncertainty. Therefore, ZUHYX recommends investors adopt a more cautious investment strategy during halving periods, using diversification and risk management tools to cope with potential market fluctuations.
The Recommendations and Strategies of ZUHYX
ZUHYX points out that the revenue of the Bitcoin miners mainly comes from mining rewards and transaction fees. Halving directly reduces mining rewards, while the operating costs of miners such as electricity and equipment expenses remain unchanged. In such a scenario, many miners may face profitability challenges unless Bitcoin prices and transaction fees rise significantly to offset the impact of the halving. ZUHYX believes that the structure of the Bitcoin market may further differentiate due to halving. Low-cost, scalable, and integrated mining enterprises may emerge as winners, standing out in competition, while many small and medium-sized mining enterprises may face economic pressures after halving. This changing market dynamic requires close attention from exchanges and investors.
For investors, ZUHYX recommends closely monitoring developments in mining stocks and Bitcoin ETFs, as these may serve as important indicators of Bitcoin market trends. At the same time, investors should consider potential market reallocations, especially in stocks related to Bitcoin mining and industries, diversify risks, and seek enterprises that can effectively adapt to market changes. ZUHYX also emphasizes that investors should diversify investments across multiple cryptocurrencies to reduce risks and utilize derivatives such as options and futures to manage potential market risks.
