#ChristmasMarketAnalysis Over the last 10 years, the price of Bitcoin (BTC) in the run-up to Christmas has undergone numerous notable fluctuations. Below are some important price benchmarks on December 25 of each year:

These figures show that over the last decade, Bitcoin has experienced strong bull and bear cycles. In particular, after each halving event (the reduction of block rewards by half), the price of Bitcoin often tends to significantly rise in the following 12-18 months. The next halving event is expected to occur in 2024, which is anticipated to positively impact Bitcoin's price in the near future.
Currently, the price of Bitcoin is around $95,194.
Some experts predict that the price of Bitcoin may reach $100,000 again by Christmas 2024, based on strong institutional interest and momentum gained from the approval of a Bitcoin ETF.
