Bitcoin Price Will Dump At Halving And Moon Afterwards, Majority Believes


Polls surveying over 15,000 people suggest that the majority believe Bitcoin’s price is likely to dump as the halving happens and skyrocket later on. This coincides with the behavior of the cryptocurrency following the previous halvings.

 Mooning Postponed, Bitcoin Will Dump At Halving
A few well-known members of the cryptocurrency community recently initiated polls to see what do users think will happen to Bitcoin’s price at and after the upcoming halving.

The first poll cited the halvings of both Litecoin and Bitcoin Cash, explaining that their price decreased as the events took place.

Almost 48% of participants believe that BTC will dump while the remaining are thorn between sideways trading and a potential increase. Though the poll still has time to go, almost 10,000 people took part in it so far.
The second survey was more straightforward, directly asking people what they think will happen to the price following the halving. 44% said that it will see a “big dump, then moon.” Interestingly enough, this poll had another voting option where 18% of people indicated that they “don’t care” and continue to “stack sats.”
Last but not least, popular YouTuber and Bitcoin analyst The Moon Carl also asked people where they see Bitcoin’s price this year, giving them two possible options – $2,000 or $20,000. The overwhelming majority of participants (72.1%) opted for $20,000.
Evidently, most of the people expect a decrease in Bitcoin’s price to take place around its halving. However, they are also rather bullish in the mid-term, thinking that it will increase this year.
History Is On Their Side
For those who follow Bitcoin’s price history, the results are probably not a surprise. As I  reported, the halving has acted as a massive bullish catalyst for Bitcoin’s price in the past.
The periods following the halvings of 2012 and 2016 have both been particularly lucrative for the cryptocurrency. However, the increases it charted didn’t come immediately after but rather following a longer time period.
2012’s halving took place on November 28th and in September 2013, Bitcoin’s price had increased by a factor of 10x. During the second halving on July 9th, 2016, BTC was trading at around $650 and in the following year it increased by more than 400% and after that it went on to reach its all-time high of $20,000.

Bitcoin Hash Rate Hits All-Time High: Here’s How It Works And How It Affects The Price

Bitcoin intelligence, data, and analytics firm Glassnode found the Bitcoin hash rate hit a new all-time high over the weekend, ten days before the Bitcoin halving event. In other words, miners are putting more computational power into maintaining the Bitcoin network. Because miners must venture electricity and capital intensive computer processors to mine Bitcoin, the increase in hash rate is a bullish sign. It means miners are after the Bitcoin rewards they get from maintaining the network. And they’re venturing the resources to go after those rewards. Is The Bitcoin Hash Rate Correlated With The Price? In general, the Bitcoin price and the hash rate are not correlated. The price is what buyers and sellers agree to pay for one Bitcoin, and there are many factors – external and internal – affecting the price. However, there is a relation between the two. While the price goes up, it’s more profitable to mine, which likely to cause more miners to turn on their mining equ...

The State Of Illinois Legalizes Blockchain-Based Smart Contracts

The US State of Illinois made a massive step towards further blockchain adoption. According to the Blockchain Technology Act, which took effect on January 1st, blockchain-based smart contracts satisfy the law under certain circumstances. Smart Contracts Admissible In Court One of the biggest challenges in front of regulators when it comes to crafting legislation for the cryptocurrency field is definitions. The SEC, for instance, has been struggling for quite some time before stating that Bitcoin and Ether (ETH) are not considered securities, while other digital assets launched in Initial Coin Offerings, for instance, pertain to that definition. The State of Illinois, however, has made a serious step towards regulating blockchain-based technologies with the Blockchain Technology Act . The bill, which is sponsored by Rep. Keith Wheeler, took effect on January 1st, 2020, and one of the first things that it addresses is the very definition for blockchain itself. “Blockcha...

Bitcoin Opens 2020 With Untypical Stability: Tuesday’s Crypto Market Watch

Bitcoin marked the end of 2019 at around $7,150, which is a notable increase of over 90% since January 1st.  Looking at the price on a smaller time frame, BTC has decreased by 1% in the last 24 hours and is currently trading at $7,190. Just yesterday, the largest cryptocurrency attempted to break the $7,400 resistance but to no avail. Part of the reason could be related to the CME price gap at around $7,300, and as it often happens, it was filled in less than 24 hours. If BTC is to increase, it has to break the $7,400 resistance line and $7,700 would follow next. However, if bears take charge, the most notable support lies at $7,000, followed by $6,800 and $6,500. Most altcoins are recording similar price movements of around 1% up or down within the last 24 hours, keeping Bitcoin’s dominance over the entire market at above 68%. Ethereum is at $131; Ripple ranges for several days at around $0,193, and Binance Coin – $13.78. Bitcoin SV is close to $100, recording the m...
