No, the halving doesn't have anything to do with this. Halving will be happening around june. This just means the Classic thing failed to fail consensus, apparently people started using their brain and understood how forcing a hard fork to get some increment in block size that can be achieved without hard forking thanks to seg wit is just a stupid idea, as stupid as firing the people that has been behind Bitcoin for 7+ years (core devs).

So thank good we are sticking with Core. Price should keep going up now that people is catching up with the situation and FUD is fading away.
