In 2016 the halving was early July. Depending on the exchange, the price was as follows:
May 1, 2016 $453
June 1, 2016 $536
July 1, 2016 just before the halving $677
The price increased about 50% from May 1 to July 1 just before the halving event.
Should we expect something similar this time?
Previous halving came with price increase and i think this will do same. The current rise in price of BTC is not connected to the halving news in my own opinion. Nonetheless, as we approach the date, there will be a significant increase in the price of BTC as halving is a major event.
