The entire crypto community now seeks to answer the post Bitcoin halving question about which direction will the crypto price go after the halving. Building up to Bitcoin halving, the last weeks were activities filled as volatility in the crypto market was wild. Considering this alongside other factors, crypto traders and analysts discuss what may likely happen after the halving.
Bitcoin price at press time is consolidated around $8,000 and has been highly volatile. In the last five days, the crypto has traded at $8,000, $9,000, and $10,000 level with its lowest price at $8,100 on Sunday, May 10 few hours to the halving.
As a result of these happenings, traders have been divided as to what the crypto’s fate is post-Bitcoin halving. Some argue it would go bullish immediately after the event others believe otherwise. However, one fact about Bitcoin is its tendency to increase by a large margin in a few days. In December 2017, it took only 28 days for it to increase from $8,000 to $20,000. In 2018, within three weeks, it rose from $7,500 to $14,000.

Post Bitcoin halving, crypto will go bullish?
Trader Satoshi Flipper believes after the halving event; Bitcoin is going to rise. He thinks the primary bullish scenario after halving is a breakout of a major trendline above the $14,000 mark experienced in 2017. In the past year, Bitcoin’s price moved within a large multi-year cycle established by its record high at $20,000, and its June 2019 peak at $14,000.

BTC shorter term
If the fractals continue to hold, time to start think about consolidation levels. 50% consolidation in real terms would put BTC in the 6K range. All good for going forward… pic.twitter.com/Ax0mXLy2c5
