Maybe that we can see something happen before the block halving takes place, because there might still be new investors believing that a pump will happen, and when enough of them think so and buy Bitcoin, it happens.

I'm however of believe that the technicals need to improve first. Bitcoin is being judged by the smart money based on what the charts show, and not so much its fundamental roadmap.

Another thing I'm still keeping in mind is that we might be due for a brutal shakeout. It actually surprised me with how soft the market has been in the last couple of months. Calmth before the storm maybe?
