Why does a decline usually follow an increase? * Supply and demand dynamics: Bitcoin has a limited supply (21 million coins). When the price drops significantly, some investors see an opportunity to buy at a low price, which increases demand over time and drives the price back up. * Halving: The Bitcoin mining reward is halved approximately every 4 years. This reduces the new supply of Bitcoin, creating additional scarcity and historically contributing to driving the price up after a period.
