Price table with average rate by year
Halving's impact on price by year is shown in the image below.
Halving is the process of dividing the number of generated block mining rewards in half. After this event, miners begin to sell the mined currency half as much because it is physically mined half as much. Consequently, demand becomes high and supply is low. This has always pushed the price up.
Bitcoin has already passed 3 halvings. The last Bitcoin halving took place on May 11, 2020, and the next halving is scheduled for May 2021.
