Bitcoin price rebound scenario
The next Bitcoin halving event is expected to take place in April 2024. Historically, these events have led to increased scarcity and a subsequent surge in Bitcoin's price.

As of the latest available data, the current price of Bitcoin is $43,088, reflecting a 0.23% increase in the last 24 hours. Furthermore, Bitcoin's 24-hour trading volume has seen a notable uptick, surging by 20.81% and currently standing at a substantial $15,587,716,556. These statistics indicate renewed interest in Bitcoin trading activity.
CoinGlass data reveals that open interest in Bitcoin has seen a significant increase of 3.56%, currently standing at $18.19 billion. Notably, leading exchange Binance holds the lion's share of this open interest at $3.39 billion, followed closely by Bybit at $2.58 billion, and Bitget at $1.16 billion. This signifies the growing interest of institutional and retail investors in Bitcoin.
Overall, the community is eagerly anticipating the potential for Bitcoin to reach new heights in 2024. Michaël van de Poppe's prediction of a prehalving surge to $48,000 and an eventual breakout toward an all-time high in late 2024 has sparked excitement and optimism among Bitcoin enthusiasts.
