I think it's pretty unlikely that Bitcoin hits a new high before the halving.  It usually takes a while before the rubber hits the road on those halvings and the market reacts with a moonshot of the price.  I would agree though that the time to be bullish is now, and for the next couple of years.  Once that next halving hits, Bitcoin is going to start looking real scarce on exchanges as people fill their bags and miners have much less to dump on a regular basis.
