For an actual bullish trend, it has to hold above $7000 for several days and build a strong support, CryptoSqueeze an analyst on twitter said that the downward trend should break and get a higher high of $8500 for confirmation of a bull market.

Bitcoin Hashrate Crosses 60 Quintillion

Although we are in a bear market and the prices have taken quite a hit, new miners seem to be entering as the Bitcoin Hashrate has been increasing.

It increased a whopping 35% in 2 days reaching 62 Quintillion hashes per second. It has increased over 50% in August alone and a total of 150% in the past 6 months.

How will it affect the price?

Max Keiser predicts that this translates to a bull market and $28000 is still in play for this year, he said:

Price follows hashrate. And hashrate has been, and will continue to be, in a permanent bull market.

Fundstrat’s co-founder Thomas Lee also is still bullish and expects Bitcoin to hit $25000 this year.

New miners have been entering with maybe different kinds of approaches like renewable energy, one of the reasons why the hashrate hasn’t dropped is because the miners won’t shut down their machines unless it is absolutely necessary and the losses are not bearable which in the price should reflect to below $5000 levels which we have not seen yet.

In the short term, the prices may reflect the hashrate but in the long term, we still need more buyers as what ultimately reflects on the price is the supply and demand.
