The difficulty of Bitcoin mining has hit a new record πŸš€, reaching 114.7 trillion after a 5.6% increase πŸ“ˆ. This milestone coincides with a Hash Ribbon signal ⚑ indicating miner capitulation β€” a situation where mining costs πŸ’° exceed profits. Historically, such periods have marked local price bottoms for BTC πŸ“‰, often followed by a recovery πŸͺ™βœ¨. According to Glassnode πŸ“Š, the current capitulation began in early February, during which Bitcoin’s price has already dropped by 4% this month πŸ“‰. For instance, a similar signal in October 2024 resulted in a 50% price surge πŸš€. Interestingly, this is linked to Bitcoin’s record-high network hashrate πŸ’»β›οΈ, observed on February 4, creating an even more competitive environment πŸ₯Š for miners. Only Riot Platforms managed to increase production in January πŸ“ˆ, while other mining companies are facing financial strain πŸ’Έ. If the trend continues, Bitcoin may find a bottom near $91K πŸ› οΈ before rebounding to new heights πŸŒŸπŸš€.
