What’s new? Analysts at the crypto exchange Bitfinex predict that the current bitcoin bull market cycle could peak in the fourth quarter of 2024. Citing historical data, they noted that BTC is updating an all-time high a few months after the halving. The fourth halving of the Bitcoin network took place on April 20. The event, which occurs every four years, cut the reward for mining blocks in half: to 3125 coins.

What else is known? According to experts, the asset reaches its peak value when the market value to realized value (MVRV) ratio exceeds the 3,2 mark.
