Hello Everyone,
I suppose everyone is well aware that the next Bitcoin halving will be around May 2020 which makes it 7 months before the halving.
Previous two halvings happened on 2012-11-28 and 2016-07-09.
Looking 7 months before the halving in 2012 and 2016 I don't see a parallel for the current situation. I'm not sure how much of a market we can talk about in April 2012 but the December of 2015 probably was a valid and well quite developed market, yet I don't see any huge drops around December 2015 (between 2015-11-02 and 2015-11-09 it went from $501 to $297 but back then this was still considered "normal" I suppose).
You should take longer period of time and not just look at 7 months before halving. Look what happened a year until half year or a year and a half until halving. You will see that start of this year from March until June was extremely positive for Bitcoins price. You could say that price was manipulated to grow more then it should. Now that is getting corrected.
