Bitcoin halving impact on price - historical analysis
Great historical breakdown! I think we'll see a peak around $150K-$180K this cycle, probably in Q4 2025 or Q1 2026.
The key difference this time is institutional adoption through ETFs. BlackRock, Fidelity, etc. are buying hundreds of BTC daily. Supply shock is going to be massive.
