Before 2016 halving, the price went up a total of 50% and this time, when btc is getting closed to the halving, we saw this sudden price pump. During 2016, there was a little uncertainty from China, while we have now the pandemic. What do you think? Will we see 10000 above within this week and new ATH soon?
A lot of people are really expecting for bitcoin halving will happen this year of 2020, and i saw some article about it that they are expecting bitcoin halving will occur in May 18, 2020.
The next bitcoin halving is expected to occur in the week commencing 18 May 2020, when the number of blocks hits 630,000. It will see the block reward fall from 12.5 to 6.25 bitcoins. The exact date of the halving is not yet known as the time taken to generate new blocks varies, with the network averaging one block every ten minutes.

As the article says, the exact date is not yet known but they truly believe that halving will occur in May. I also think the new ATH will come after halving because a lot of people will be waiting for bitcoin to reach $20,000 again because they really wanted to experience it again, even it takes a while.
