Bitcoin interest in google searches has surged as BTC reached 6-month lows. Fresh interest around Bitcoin (BTC) has been ignited from mainstream consumers after its price crashed to its lowest prices since May.

According to data seen on Google Trends, “Bitcoin” along with many associated terms and phrases have increased in popularity tremendously over the past few days.

Back in the spotlight – “Bitcoin halving”

“Bitcoin” is currently at its highest search ranking since late October, when BTC traded close to $10,000 against the USD..

Interest appears to be coming heavily from Africa, with South Africa, Nigeria, as well as Ghana forming the top three geographical sources. Austria and Switzerland also appear among the top five.

New focus has risen on elements other than the price of Bitcoin, with the term “Bitcoin halving” returning to the spotlight again since its October highs.

The event which is scheduled for May 2020, is widely considered as a market mover, with many analysts foresee a new bullish parabolic phase starting following, or just before the halving occurs.

Meanwhile Google interest appears to be focused solely on Bitcoin, with statistics for terms relating to cryptocurrencies or “altcoins”, such as “Ethereum” “ETH” and “XRP” remaining stagnant.
