Bitcoin definitely has made on the growing side for the past three weeks. Many investors are now convinced of a full return bullish price andtions and various technical indicators support this enhance in optimism. One such indicator is the hash ribbon, which highlights Bitcoin’s positive price momentum.
The hash ribbon provides a compelling picture of blockchain activity by tracking the behavior of miners who have a direct impact on the price of a cryptocurrency.
Price dynamics are changing to positive
Cryptocurrency Analyst Ali Martinez illuminated an intriguing phenomenon with the hash ribbon indicator on social media platform X. As the analyst noted, the hash ribbon signals the end of miners’ capitulation, suggesting that BTC price dynamics have turned from negative to positive.
The Ribbon Hash Indicator analyzes Bitcoin’s hash rate using 30-day and 60-day moving averages to gauge miner activity and network health. When the 30-day moving average drops below the 60-day, it indicates miners are capitulating; when it crosses back above it, it signals a recovery and potential bullish price action.
As the price chart below shows, the latest capitulation by miners began on June 17 after the 30-day moving average crossed below the 60-day moving average. Recent market momentum has seen the 30-day moving average cross again, suggesting that miners now have a bullish outlook.
Bitcoin miners have faced challenges since the April 2024 halving that reduced their daily revenue from average from $70 million before the halving to $30 million after the halving. This drop in revenue forced many miners to sell their BTC holdings to cover operating costs. However, recent data indicates that the capitulation of miners may be coming to an endas increased activity on the Bitcoin network has pushed miners’ daily revenues back above $40 million.
Positive Bitcoin Comments Hit 16-Month High
Still in the bullish spirit, crypto-on-chain intelligence platform Santiment has noted that bullish sentiment towards Bitcoin among market participants is now at an all-time high. Santiment’s data reveals that the ratio of positive to negative comments about BTC on social media has risen to its highest level since March 2023 as investors become increasingly confident about a recent all-time high.
This enhance in positive sentiment can be attributed largely to positive mentions of Bitcoin at the recently concluded Bitcoin Conference. During the conference, Republican presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. he repeated his bullish attitude position on Bitcoin.
In addition, former President and current Republican candidate Donald Trump has reversed his previous stance on Bitcoin and expressed support for the cryptocurrency. Trump also he promised to shoot Gary Gensler, the SEC chairman, known for his very strict approach to Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, if elected president.
A combination of political support and positive social media sentiment fueled talk of Bitcoin reaching a recent all-time high in August. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $67,500.
