Will Bitcoin have a price increase before the halving like we saw in 2016?

[Shasha80]

In my opinion, most likely history will repeat itself. The events that occurred in 2016 will repeat in 2020, therefore it nothing wrong
to make preparations before that happens. By starting to buy bitcoin from now on gradually, we can too see already two days bitcoin
prices continue to rise. This is likely a sign that before halving occurs the price of bitcoin will continue go up. Don't miss a big opportunity
like now to continue to collect as many Bitcoins as possible.

Being an user of bitcoin for years I never thought of price increase for any specific time period. Always my choice is to prepare for the worst case, in this volatile market it is quite hard to predict precisely and benefit from it. If price has increased over the previous halvings it doesn't mean the same should take place this time. Looking upon the growth happening by now, there is more probability for continued price increase around the days of halving.

[yulionoo]

yeah maybe that could happen because these days the value of bitcoin continues to increase. if bitcoin will experience the same thing as in 2016 then in this month bitcoin will increase and reach a price of $ 11,000. let's see if bitcoin can really go up by 50% before bitcoin is reduced by half. it is very difficult to predict the price of bitcoin we can only wait.

[Leonardo7]

Things have changed now, bitcoin traders are well informed now, although not all most are still speculators which is okay for the ecosystem. I expect the price to sharply increase just before the halving because of general sentiment of a possible price increase and never coming down.

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?

Let's be hopeful rather to have an expectation regarding this. Year 2016-2017 was a big year for everyone even me, I've recieve so much failure thag year but still I have earn also, and I am hoping that this year would be abundant for everyone here, 2018-2019 was not a good years for all us since so much setbacks was made and I guess this platform is slowly regaining the thing that it has to offer for us,let's keep on working.

I also hope that the price of bitcoin will rise to high levels this year because basically every half of bitcoin supply decreases, and demand also rises so that it will start a new bullish market condition but that will happen if bitcoin follows the same pattern as before.
and if we look at the price of bitcoin lately continues to rise slowly whether this is a sign that all that will happen.

[the rise]

almost the same as the technical price of 2012, the movement will slow down but rise slowly and move away from the prices of previous years, the turning point is always one year later where the rate of increase moves up to 15% per day, there will be many dramas this year trying to inhibit the rise, but it does not change anything in the increase in price activity on the chart which continues to get a reaction to the increase in demand.

[Murat]

I believe one thing that when there is a will, there is a way, Since people are expecting this type of even so it would happen within this year, without getting benefitted no one could carry this system for a long time, so it's a demand for a long time that when the Bitcoin halving will occur, I am not going to predict about the percentage of increasing but I believe that Bitcoin price will bring to us a good chance for making profit, That's why I am hoping to hold Bitcoin for the long run. another important thing you have to believe that history repeats itself for making another history.

[EdvinZ]

I think it is more likely that the price may rise before halving in the same scenario as in 2016. But it may be less than 50%, because the price of digital gold is now much higher than in that period.

[bering]

It's hard to predict because some people says this halving will not too similar such as the previous halving but starting this month bitcoin price already raise up more than 10% compare to last month so seems this is good sign to starting this year and we are still several month remaining before halving and i think yes the price will increase but i don't know at what level would be the highest price before halving

In previous halving there was room for price to move up. Price of bitcoin is already too high as compared to previous coin halving and I don't think bitcoin price may go too high due to coin halving. These are early days of bitcoin since it got mass adoption and we will see with time how bitcoin will behave against such incidents.

I say this could happen and see what will surprise the beginners about bitcoin, usually new traders are still fairly beginners do not know about the power after halving, they crossed off the chart as they please, you can see my word here

I and some people are still on the right side where many famous people in bitcoin say the same thing will repeat history, see when after halving, so everyone will take their tickets from now on

[Astvile]

We do hope that it will be that way before halving but there is a ton of possibility that may happen, price may even drop before halving. We basically can't predict nor guess what will happen all we can do is hope for better things to happen.
Price of bitcoins now is continous in rising which gives us a hope that it will be like what happened in 2016 where bitcoins price increase for more than 40% before halving.

let us not play so positive because there are so many things that may cross the way before halving specially this War of US and Iran,the possibilities of effect in crypto market is there so be careful expecting too much.

the best way to deal with this?use it as short term trading and not holding,2-5% profit is enough each trade so if ever the price starts to drop again then we are more safer than holding for the whole year.

This is what most of us are expecting and hoping for.
But we couldn'tbe so sure about the price increase before the halving or what to expect before and after the halving.
Maybe some of the investor would hold until the halving is done and then sell all of their BTC.

It is true since history only repeats itself, so we can expect that something similar might happen this time.
No one is really sure about what might happen next, it can be positive or negative, we can only know the answer once halving is near and after it.

[Inkdatar]

Many expectations with this halving, in my view bitcoin price could possibly rise before or after halving. But, these days it's good to see that the price of bitcoin is increasing. Hopefully, there are changes in bitcoin this year since we're waiting longer to make it happen.

[airdnasxela]

It's slowly increasing now... Although with different reason. We are all hoping for that, and we can expect that it will also increase just like what happened before but we also shouldn't rely too much on the history. "History repeats itself" yeah but not on every cases. An increase might happen but possibly not the same as before in 2016.

There are some analyst says that Bitcoin halving won't do anything with the price and some other believes that bull run may not follow after the halving.
I'm having thoughts that if bull run won't hit this year then probably it will take an effect next year just like what happened in halving in 2016 where Bitcoins price surge 2017. There might be no bull happen this year but I am pretty sure that Bitcoin will pump.

[fourpiece]

No doubt about it!! History will repeat itself or maybe the next bull run will be a significant one. As the day passes bitcoin will start to go up little by little. And by 2nd quarter of the year bitcoin is above 15,000$. Before halving 25,000, , before the end of year 35,000$.
