Moreover, the first BTC halving occurred in 2012 that made to climb the price of BTC a year later, surging nearly 80x. The same thing happened with the halving event of 2017, which made an uptick in the price of BTC again.
Thus, past data describes that cryptocurrency tends to hit the market levels in the calendar year of a halving. If this happened, then we can see the price of BTC to rise above the levels of $10,000.
Taking the example of Joe Nemelka, the CryptoQuant’s data analyst predicts that BTC price will increase as only profitable miners will look after the need to keep mining after the having event.

Though the pandemic continues to devastate both crypto and traditional financial spaces, the BTC advocates still see a bright distant future for BTC.
Will BTC outperform over gold after halving?
On the other hand, there is a strong impact of the “yellow metal” gold over BTC. As the king of cryptoverse negatively influenced by gold. If we compare BTC with gold, after a big price drop on March 12, people still consider it as a safe-haven and to hold it with optimism to see its price rolling.
Furthermore, halving would help BTC to gain its superiority over gold, for example, nobody knows exactly how much gold extracted, but anybody at any time can independently verify the entire Bitcoin supply in existence with the use of a basic computer.
Despite all the predictions and controversies for the near future halving, 2020 will undoubtedly prove a significant year for Bitcoin.
