Bitcoin halving pattern shifts as gains and volatility both ease
An analysis says bitcoin’s market cycle after the 2024 halving has been markedly weaker than the three previous halving cycles, with both gains and volatility easing. Galaxy Digital’s Alex Thorn compares price performance and 30-day volatility measures and argues the traditional four-year post-halving pattern is weakening. Others say the comparison may not reflect the current market structure, noting pre-halving gains linked to U.S. spot bitcoin ETF approval.
