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 novel COVID-19 pandemic disrupted gold distribution in Q1 2020, while the demand saw a serious increase, primarily in the west. At the same time, most central banks continued amassing large quantities of the precious metal. Gold Demand During The COVID-19 Crisis With the unexpected outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic at the start of the new decade, traditionally perceived as riskier assets such as equities and cryptocurrencies plunged as investors were looking for liquidity in fears of the potential aftermath of the crisis. Gold, generally utilized for its safe-haven status, also suffered from price declines in mid-March during the most emphatic days of uncertainty. Since then, however, its price has recovered, and it’s even trading at 12% in the green so far in 2020. When world governments were initiating stimulus packages , also known as printing excessive amounts of money and debts in short periods, investors turned to the precious metal’s safe-haven...
