Halving is EXTREMELY bullish and the price will start rising before the halving and will go parabolic after the halving.
your certainty makes me uncertain
If it is a given why is nobody front-running the event ?
Indeed, I think it is happening. The extent of the front-running is of course uncertain. It could be limited to the noticeable accumulation by strong handed hodlers and fresh handed newcomers with a fat bankroll. But tomorrow's money isn't money until it hits your wallet, so the risk incurred by front running or accumulating is real. And what is rewarded by tomorrow's money is exactly today's risk.
As we're below PlanB's stock to flow model current value, I now question the front-running thesis. It seemed like we were front running for a while there, but maybe it was just "buy the rumor, sell the news" for Libra and Bakkt.
