The decline of Bitcoin in January is nothing new in 'the years after halving'
Bitcoin has dropped 10% this month, but analysts say the price has historically decreased by 25% to 30% in January after previous halving events.
According to analysts who have compared previous cycles, a significant correction of Bitcoin in the first month of the year following a halving event is not unusual in history.
"The sell-off of Bitcoin in January has historically been a common phenomenon in the years after halving," cryptocurrency analyst Axel Bitblaze told his 123,000 followers on X on January 12. "We all know what happened after the sell-offs in 2017 and 2021."
Bitcoin has lost 10% this month, dropping from a high of $102,300 on January 7 to just below $92,000 before recovering slightly and is now hovering around $94,000.
In January 2021, the most recent year after halving, Bitcoin fell more than 25% from over $40,000 to just over $30,000 by the end of the month. It then soared 130% to a new all-time high of $69,000 in November.
In January 2017, a year after the 2016 halving, Bitcoin decreased by 30%, from $1,130 to $784. It then surged 2,400% that year, reaching an all-time high of $20,000 in December.
