The next halving would certainly be interesting, especially if you believe the downtrend during 2014 was caused by new supply without new adopters. It's about one year and six months away from now. So 2015 might wind up being a bit boring compared to 2016 (but BTC might still go up if slowly during 2015 I hope, but i'm not confident to say we're at the bottom either), but who knows.

Last halving did make BTC go from double digits to triple digits, so the psychological effect is there I think. Then again, some altcoins have proved that halvings are not necessarily directly affecting value, but other hand the bitcoin halving would be widely celebrated in the BTC community.

The only thing that might change might be the price that is pre-halving. Its almost 1.5 years from now. The increase would a lot depend on what the price is right before it.

It will be a massive pump and dump potentially.
