How the halving affects price
The halving cuts the flow of new coins from miners in half. If demand holds, less new supply theoretically supports the price — and past halvings were historically followed by periods of growth. The caveat matters: there have only been four events, far too small a sample for a statistical conclusion, and liquidity, macro conditions and capital flows matter more. The halving is known well in advance and is largely priced in.
