Bitcoin halvings typically followed by 18-month rally, analyst says

Bitcoin (BTC-USD) is slowly recovering after experiencing recent declines from its all-time highs. Benchmark Managing Director and Senior Research Analyst of Fintech and Digital Assets Mark Palmer joins Yahoo Finance Live to discuss the cryptocurrency's pricing patterns ahead of April's expected bitcoin halving event.
Palmer highlights that historical trends suggest the occurrence of a bitcoin halving "is not unusual." He points out that in 2016 and 2020, "significant retracements in price" preceding the bitcoin halving, and the same pattern is unfolding "in the 2024 cycle." Palmer draws an analogy between a bitcoin halving and "a wildfire," explaining that when the rewards paid to miners are halved, it prompts many miners to exit the market, leading to increased volatility.
However, Palmer notes that historically, an extended rally tends to follow after a bitcoin halving event. He also notes "demand shocks" stemming from the approval of spot bitcoin ETFs and the spillover into stocks crypto stock associated with the space's volatility, such as MicroStrategy (MSTR).

Everyone has been preaching "buy now, stocks are at a discount" but I've been buying stocks since the beginning of the year and yet nothing's changed, but I've been reading articles of people still in the same market pulling off over 350k in just a couple months, what am i doing wrong?

Did not mention 100-200 day historic period of sideways action before usual parabolic increases. Don’t expect instant price explosion post halving. Although institutional effects may shorten the accumulation period.

I don't hold bitcoin yet but what I hold a lot of is 3+bln Shib worth 87+k so I'm waiting for Shib to break out so I can definitely have enough to buy thousands of Bitcoin.

People really freaked out once it went down to 62k. The market shook out a lot of weak retail hands. We should hit an ATH within two weeks or by April 1st.
