Post-Halving Rally Patterns (Historical Gains)
2012 halving → +8,858% (12 months)
2016 halving → +2,823% peak
2020 halving → +705% peak
2024 halving → Still playing out, but already delivered new ATHs above $126K.5d467c
Why do these surges keep happening?
Scarcity: Halvings cut new supply by 50% every ~4 years.
Adoption waves: Retail (2013/2017) → Institutions/ETFs (2021+) → ? (next cycle).
Macro tailwinds: Crises, money printing, or "risk-on" environments.
Psychology: FOMO + network effects = viral growth.
Bitcoin’s surges aren’t random — they follow a repeatable (though maturing) cycle. Gains get "smaller" in percentage terms as the market cap grows, but the absolute moves are still life-changing.
The big question: Are we in the calm before the next leg up, or has the cycle finally changed? History says: buy the halving dip, ride the wave, prepare for the winter.
