After the halving on April 19, Bitcoin’s price has shown a puzzling performance. BTC initially gained almost 10% to trade as high as $67,020 on April 24. However, over the past two days, the price of the digital asset has fallen 6.49%, falling below $63,000.

BTC potential price drop ahead?
In a X message on April 26, Rekt Capital stated that Bitcoin has now entered the post-halving ‘danger zone’. The analyst described this phenomenon as a period where Bitcoin has historically undergone price corrections following the halving. Rekt Capital noted that in 2016, Bitcoin recorded these price repeats in the three weeks following the Halving. During this time, the token’s price fell by 11%.
The analyst hypothesizes that Bitcoin is now in the post-halving “danger zone” of the current bull cycle, following the price decline over the past two days. It is worth saying that if Bitcoin reflects past price movements at this stage, the token could head towards $60,000. However, Rekt Capital states that if the crypto market leader experiences such a fate, it will be within the next two weeks.
At the time of writing, Bitcoin transactions about $62,672 with a decline of 2.44% in the past day. This price drop underlines BTC’s negative performance over the past month, during which it has lost 11.16% of its market value.
