- Buying sentiment remained dominant in the market.
- Market indicators hinted at a few more slow-moving days.
The Bitcoin [BTC] halving triggered a bull rally for altcoins, but BTC itself did not showcase much volatility. However, if historical data is to be believed, then things might turn bullish for BTC as well.
Therefore, AMBCrypto analyzed BTC’s state to understand what to expect from it after a few days of halving.
Bitcoin remains calm post-halving
Just a few days after the much-awaited BTC halving, altcoins began bull rallies, allowing several cryptos to register double-digit growth. Meanwhile, BTC laid low, as it didn’t push its price up by a huge margin.
According to CoinMarketCap, BTC was up by 2% in the last 24 hours. At the time of writing, it was trading at $64,992.95 with a market capitalization of over $1.28 trillion.
But there was more to the story, as BTC in the past has displayed similar behavior. Rekt Capital, a popular crypto analyst, posted a tweet about past incidents.
As per the tweet, BTC’s price has always consolidated during the halving months back in 2020 and 2016. This indicated that investors might witness less volatility in April.
But the trend might change in May and June, as historically, BTC’s price has gained bullish momentum in the months that followed halvings. Therefore, the chances of BTC closing Q2 on a good note seemed high.
What lies ahead in the short term?
If history repeats itself, things might turn volatile for BTC next month, but to see what investors should expect in the short term, AMBCrypto analyzed BTC’s metrics.
