The broker cut its price target to $14 from $17.50 while maintaining its buy rating.
If history repeats itself, an even more bullish period for bitcoin and crypto markets could be on the horizon in the months following the halving, the report said.
As the protocol evolves, new layers could emerge bringing new use cases and more users, the report said.
The number of bitcoin held in wallets tied to miners has dropped to the lowest since mid-2021.
The cryptocurrency has performed well before the halving and is likely to sustain momentum for the rest of the year, leading to new highs in 2024, the report said.
CryptoQuant data shows that miners are moving bitcoin to exchanges, likely because of a need to build more liquidity in anticipation of higher capital expenditures.
Larger miners with a low cost of production and low debt are likely to be the big beneficiaries of increased capacity, the report said.
Mining stocks have been resurgent this year due to improving sentiment from institutional ETF filings and potential revenue diversification into high-performance computing and AI, the report said.
Still, bitcoin miners’ inventory sales climbed to a record as they took advantage of the cryptocurrency’s strong performance, the report said.
