Bitcoin's Halving Hangover: What Comes After the Rally
Markets·October 9, 2026
Bitcoin's halving is built as a supply story, but the price action that follows is rarely so tidy. That tension sits at the center of a recent Ledger Cast episode, in which co-hosts Brian Krogsgard and Josh Olszewicz look at bitcoin's post-halving price and fundamentals, with a deeper dive into on-chain data.
The halving cuts in half the reward miners receive for each new block, which happens roughly every four years. Because new supply drops sharply, the event tends to attract heavy attention beforehand, and the weeks and months after it are when the market starts asking what the network is actually doing. On-chain figures such as network activity, holder behavior and miner economics are the usual tools for that question, since they show how the chain is being used rather than where the price happens to be on a given day.
The show also touches on Reddit coins. The episode description mentions the topic without going into detail, so listeners looking for specifics will need to hear the discussion itself.
The hosts describe the episode as educational material rather than investment advice, and they encourage listeners to do their own research before buying anything.
