Amid the turbulence of the cryptocurrency markets, Bitcoin miners are grappling with increasing challenges that could have broader implications for the sector. 
Recent developments have highlighted ongoing miner capitulation, a phenomenon that underscores current market pressures and may point to future trends in Bitcoin’s trading environment. 
Miner capitulation occurs when declining Bitcoin prices reduce <a href="https://www.ethnews.com/the-role-of-bitcoin-halving-in-shaping-mining-profitability-and-crypto-market/">mining profitability</a>, compelling miners to sell their holdings to sustain operations. This sell-off can exacerbate price declines, creating a cycle that impacts the broader market.&nbsp;

 <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Bitcoin?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Bitcoin</a> miner capitulation is still ongoing. 
 Historically, it ends when the daily average mined value is 40% of the yearly average; it's now at 72%. 
 Expect the crypto markets to be boring for the next 2-3 months. Stay long-term bullish but avoid excessive risk. <a href="https://t.co/OCsiI57KPo">pic.twitter.com/OCsiI57KPo</a>

CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju notes that this phase is ongoing, with the daily average mined value significantly higher than historical cessation points. According to Ju: 
<blockquote>
 “Bitcoin miner capitulation typically ends when the daily average mined value is 40% of the yearly average; currently, it stands at 72%.”
</blockquote> 
This situation suggests that the market could remain subdued in the coming months. Ju advises a conservative approach to trading during this period, recommending maintaining a long-term positive outlook while being wary of short-term risks.

Furthermore, the Bitcoin network’s total computational power, or <a href="https://www.ethnews.com/adapting-bitcoin-mining-new-tech-and-market-prices-influence-hashrate/">hashrate</a>, has seen a noticeable decline, falling to 540 exahashes per second from a peak of 751 EH/s recorded in April. This decline is indicative of miners shutting down their operations, a direct consequence of reduced profitability and heightened financial strain.

Transaction activity among major Bitcoin holders, or whales, also reflects the market’s current volatility. Data from IntoTheBlock shows a decrease in the number of transactions exceeding $100,000, which has dropped alongside fluctuating Bitcoin prices.
