Bitget Futures Market Update: T-minus 2 Months Until Bitcoin's Next Halving image 0

The anticipation of the halving event can also lead to increased interest in bitcoin, and this comes with the inevitable rise in speculation and the potential for a “sell the news” event. As we saw in the buildup to the greenlighting of U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs in January – another event which placed a large spotlight on bitcoin – prices increased in anticipation of an SEC approval. When the funds were approved, a large short-term self-off occurred, causing the price to fall steeply. Bitcoin’s price has since recovered from the sell-off; however, the point remains that investors need to be wary of market sentiment and speculative trends leading up to the halving in order to position themselves in a way that best supports their bitcoin investment thesis.
