The April 2024 halving cut Bitcoin's new supply in half. History shows the bull market peak comes 12–18 months later — which puts us in the prime zone right now.
Every 210,000 blocks (~4 years), Bitcoin's block reward is cut in half. April 2024: reward went from 6.25 to 3.125 BTC per block. New BTC created daily: cut from ~900 to ~450. Supply growth cut in half — demand unchanged. Basic economics: price goes up.
2012 halving → BTC hit ATH 12 months later (+9,000%). 2016 halving → ATH 17 months later (+2,900%). 2020 halving → ATH 18 months later (+560%). 2024 halving → If pattern holds, ATH between April 2025 and October 2026. We're in that window.
Bitcoin peaks first in each cycle, then altcoins. The altcoin peak typically comes 3–6 months after Bitcoin's cycle high. If Bitcoin peaks mid-2026, altcoin season runs to late 2026 or early 2027. ETH, SOL, and large-cap altcoins benefit most.
If the halving cycle holds, we have 3–9 months of potential upside remaining. Strategy: maintain BTC/ETH core positions, add quality altcoins on dips, start taking profits in tranches as price targets are hit. Don't panic sell — but don't forget to take profits.
