Bitcoin Resilience Amidst Volatility: Insights from Samson Mow
Samson Mow, a key figure in the cryptocurrency realm and leader of Jan3, recently shared insights into Bitcoin's market behavior amidst recent global events.
Mow discussed the notable price swings in Bitcoin over the weekend, sparked by concerns related to developments in the Middle East.
During this period, Bitcoin experienced a considerable drop of over 13%, briefly touching the $63,240 mark. However, it managed to recover around 9% of its value by Monday, stabilizing at approximately $66,635. Despite a subsequent 5% decline, bringing it back to the $63,280 range, Bitcoin showed resilience.
Mow emphasized the intraday fluctuations, with Bitcoin hitting highs of $64,878.80 and lows of $61,716.40. He highlighted Bitcoin’s unique volatility, as cryptocurrencies are traded throughout weekends, unlike traditional financial markets, which experienced similar panic but had downtime to absorb the shock.
Discussing the upcoming Bitcoin halving event, Mow described it as a pivotal moment that could trigger a significant supply shock in the Bitcoin ecosystem.

The halving reduces the number of BTC awarded to miners by half approximately every four years, slowing down the rate of new bitcoins generated and potentially leading to price increases if demand remains steady or grows.
Mow expressed concerns that the broader market might be overlooking the halving’s impact. He speculated that many in the financial markets are not fully informed about the halving or its potential repercussions on Bitcoin’s price.
The uncertainty surrounding whether the price will rise or fall due to the reduced block reward has prompted a cautious approach among certain investors and miners.
