Is halving truly as significant as it sounds?

The highly anticipated Litecoin halving is scheduled to occur on August 2, 2023. At that time, the block reward will be reduced from 6.25 LTC to 3.125 LTC.

The halving is a programmed event in the Litecoin protocol that reduces the reward for mining new blocks by half. This is done every 4 years, and it is intended to help maintain the value of Litecoin and make it a more attractive investment.

However, there is some debate about whether the halving will actually have a significant impact on the price of Litecoin. Some believe that it will lead to a price increase, as the reduced supply will make Litecoin more valuable. Others believe that the halving will have little impact, as the demand for Litecoin is already high.

In 2015, Litecoin rallied +520% before its 2015 Halving.

In 2019, $LTC rallied +545% before its 2019 Halving.

What do you think the impact of the halving will be this year?

Either ways of the argument will have positive impact on price. Short in supply leads to scarcity and scarcity leads to increase in demand which will definitely spur the price.
Well, we are waiting. Halving is few days from now and I think the best bet here is to take the risk to buy some and hodl

I'm uncertain whether the LTC halving will result in a bullish price trend. It's important to remember that past performance doesn't guarantee future results. The impact of the Litecoin halving on its price is speculative, and experts and analysts have different opinions on the matter.

Yea right, typically what halving does is to reduce new supply and somehow drives price when scarcity and demand set in. But in actual sense, a surge is not guaranteed as other market factors like adoption, global market condition, regulations etc can have a more immediate impact on post-halving price than halving itself.

I think the impact of halving this year will be that it will reduce the miners reward by half and also create scarcity for LTC, but in terms of price impact, it's still buyers and sellers activities that will determine that effect, if more people buy it more than they sell it for whatever reason, then it will rise, and if the sell, then the other way round, and so let's not think halving automatically pushes up price. Price movements are determined by traders and events that make traders either buy or sell, just like the Pre-Halving event on Bitget that's been making users trade LTC to earn some rewards from the $60,000 pool of rewards in LTC. If this continues to happen, then we can tell price will be positively impacted.
