In a recent research report, JPMorgan has indicated that the upcoming Bitcoin halving event, slated for April, might lead to a decline in the cryptocurrency’s price due to reduced rewards and increased production costs for miners.
Historically, the production cost of bitcoin has served as a floor for its price, according to the report. JPMorgan suggests that this floor could potentially drop to $42,000 after the Bitcoin halving event.
The bank highlights that the central point of its estimated production cost range presently stands at approximately $26,500. This figure could mechanically double to $53,000 post-halving. Moreover, the bitcoin network might experience a 20% decrease in its hashrate after the Bitcoin halving, further impacting the estimated production cost and potentially leading to a price drop to $42,000, as stated in the report.

Analysts, led by Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou, project that bitcoin prices could gravitate towards the $42,000 mark once the euphoria surrounding the bitcoin halving subsides after April.
These projections have significant implications for miners, particularly those with higher production costs. JPMorgan suggests that miners with below-average electricity costs and more efficient rigs are likely to fare better, while those with higher production costs may face challenges.
