The analytics platform notes that the Hash Ribbons, an indicator that traders use to pinpoint “periods of stress in the mining market,” has signaled a potential bottom.</p>

<p>Bitcoin had its fourth halving in April 2024, with the block reward reducing from 6.25 BTC to 3.125 BTC. Prices rose ahead of the halving to reach the all-time high above $73,000 before <a href="https://crypto.news/miners-capitulation-looms-if-bitcoin-fails-to-recover-significantly-cryptoquant-says/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">miner capitulation</a> and other negative catalysts pushed BTC lower.</p>
<p>CryptoQuant has pointed to Hash Ribbons flashing – the first since the halving – as a “healthy signal.”</p>
