Halving is historically associated with higher prices for BTC due to its impact on the ratio of stocks to production.
According to the cycles, the Bitcoin price was supposed to bottom last December 30. In fact, it happened almost two months earlier amid the collapse of crypto exchange FTX.
The company's experts have said:
"The 2020 halving reduced the supply of new bitcoins by 43% relative to the previous halving. It had a 23% as big an impact on price. [...] If history were to repeat itself, the next halving would see bitcoin rising to $35k before the halving and $148k after."
