Following a slightly disappointing start to the week, the BTC-USD pair bounced back from the $8,600s and is now gradually approaching $9,000 yet again. Whether or not the bulls manage to build on this momentum to push the price beyond the resistance around $9,100 remains to be seen.
By now it is becoming clear that the alpha-cryptocurrency is sticking to the past post-halving trends by not wildly swaying in either direction.
A wild bull run hasn’t started and neither has the price dipped alarmingly low. That’s more or less consistent with how the BTC price spiked by about 7% after its first halving. During the same period following the 2016 halving, the price did, in fact, plunge, but not more than 10%.
Considering that both the 2012 and 2016 halvings were followed by substantial gains over the mid-to-long terms, odds are that we could see a major spike in the latter half of 2019.
Some analysts are optimistic that the BTC price could reach a new all-time-high by Sept 2020. Others are skeptical about any such possibility, especially in the wake of the current pandemic-induced slowdown.

ETH Could Kick Off the Long-Awaited ‘Alt Season’The ETH price has seemingly been trading inside a long-term symmetrical triangle since the beginning of 2020.
