Well, its all a question of degree. I like to view is as demand/supply mechanics, so if that many people hadn't factored in the halving yet, then demand wouldn't have surged. However, it seems like the halvening has become a much more prominent topic, so many more people would 'price' it in.

That being said, I do think that the price will still increase as the halvening draws closer, so yeah. I'd like the hear different opinions though, as I'd think i'm still fairly new to this bitcoin space.
