The third? A respectable but much more muted 1,200%.

Mathematics is clear: Bitcoin’s post-rally rallies tapered. But the implications go deeper.
This pattern suggests that the market no longer responds to halving the supply shocks with the same blind euphoria.
With institutional players in the mix and macro-offswind, Bitcoin behaves less as a wild speculatively active and more as an adult, macro-sensitive instrument.
In other words, the halving can still form the stage – reducing the issue and sharpening the offer – but it is no longer the main act.
Nowadays, the price of Bitcoin is increasingly connected to liquidity cycles, interest rate expectations and broader economic signals.
If that sounds like Bitcoin is slowly being admitted to the traditional financial system, it is because it is. The shrinking return may not mean weakness – but rather a shift in the story.
