As Bitcoin’s Halving Date Approaches, we will tell you what is happening with BTC and what Bitcoin forecast is given by members of the crypto community against the backdrop of a cryptocurrency correction.
Bitcoin Latest Updates
On February 20, 2024, BTC reached its yearly maximum, which was around $53 thousand, after which it entered a correction. As of the time of writing this review, the coin is trading at $51,567.
BTC showed positive dynamics against the backdrop of growing open interest in BTC futures to the highest levels in two years, investor interest in spot Bitcoin ETFs and the approach of halving. Let us remind you that the halving of the cryptocurrency mining speed will take place at the end of April 2024.
The history of observations shows that halvings create a shortage of bitcoins in the market, which pushes the coin rate to update its absolute maximum value. If investor interest in Bitcoin ETFs remains at the same level, purchases of cryptocurrency against the instrument by issuers could also support the growth of BTC.
The Crypto Community Reacts
Many sellers took advantage of Bitcoin’s growth to new local highs, under whose pressure the cryptocurrency corrected.
Popular crypto blogger MartyParty, in turn, noted that the volume of bitcoins available on exchanges has already dropped to the lows of 2015. Participants in the crypto community suggested that the continuation of the trend will force issuers of crypto funds to look for investors willing to sell them cryptocurrency.
