the halving hype is definitely there and every day it is growing even bigger as more people are anxious to buy bitcoin expecting the hyped up rise. when you think about it, with the recent drop a lot of investors panic sold their bitcoins and now they are left with a lot of money that they are waiting to put back into bitcoin (buy back). everything is pointing towards a big rise since the potential is there. but the only thing that is not clear is the time of it. it could be pre-halving or a week after halving.
