Things certainly grew rapidly in that time period. However there were a lot of factors other than the halving.
1. Bitcoin emerged in to the general public consciousness to a much greater degree.
2. China markets sprouted up and much speculation followed.
3. WillyBot.
The halving was likely a factor but I would say these factors were more of a driver.
The next halving will not give us 10,000$ alone but half less bitcoins mined everyday will be very bullish for the price. I think the adoption of Bitcoin by more people is the key to have a global success.
