Daily closing prices in USD. The small figure is the multiple of the halving-day price. "Not yet" means the day hasn't come in the 2024 cycle.
The highest daily close between each halving and 500 days before the next one, the same window the chart uses. For 2024 it is the highest so far, not a claim that the cycle has topped.

From the halving-day price to the cycle's highest daily close: 92.89× (2012), 29.73× (2016), 7.70× (2020). The 2024 cycle's highest close so far is $124,720, 1.92× its halving-day price, on day 534.
In each of the three completed cycles the price was higher a year after the halving than on halving day. Three cases is not a rule, and the market around Bitcoin has changed a lot since 2012.
Halving-day prices range from about $12 in 2012 to about $65,000 in 2024. Dividing by each cycle's own halving-day price puts all four on the same scale.
