I also believe this halving market not to be similar with the previous halving market but before making any conclusion i think we also need to put into consideration the thing that may hinder the increase in the price of the market after halving but i still expect/believe the price will increase and may not be as we thought about.
things are actually very similar to the previous two times but only on a smaller scale because currently there still is a lot of fear in the market otherwise the pre-halving manipulation and accumulation phases were executed the same way and currently we are on a similar rising path too. in about 10 days if we see a drop then the cycle would be complete until (1-2 days later) halving itself happens and then after a couple of weeks the big rises begin for good.
Ok but if the cycle you claimed complete while the fear in the market is strong enough to cause panic sell there's still chance that this year halving maybe disappointed. Besides, i read a thread on this forum acouple of days back which stated that some whales believe this year halving be a nonevent.
