Impact of BTC Halving

The Bitcoin halving happens every four years with block rewards slashed 50%. While this will significantly reduce miner rewards, it can boost the price of the asset ushering a new run in the market.

Bitcoin bulls look uphill toward the next run as miners begin to hold their reserves and move assets off exchanges. On the other hand, bear traders say the halving will not have much effect like previous events due to persistent macroeconomic factors.

JP Morgan recently projected a drop in Bitcoin price after the halving because the asset is overbought per its estimate.
