Does the Halving Directly Affect the Price of Bitcoin?

The halving does not directly change the price, as price is determined by market supply and demand. However, the reduction in new supply (a supply-side shock) often creates anticipation and narrative-driven demand.

Historically, halvings have preceded significant bull runs, but the relationship is indirect and complex, driven by market psychology and macroeconomic factors.
