Key Points
- Bitcoin’s price will recover only post-miner capitulation and hash rate recovery, Will Woo says.
- BTC is now trading above $64,000.
Bitcoin on-chain analyst Will Woo is reiterating his predicitons about Bitcoin’s price recovery.
In a new post on X, the analyst said once more that BTC’s price will only recover when weak miners die and the hash rate recovers.
He said that this one is for the record books, as it’s taking a lot of time for miner capitulation post the halving event. Bitcoin’s halving took place on April 20.
Woo also said that the profit boost was thanks to ordinal inscriptions.
He also shared a graph showing that the hash rate recovery is taking longer compared to the previous ones: 61 days so far, compared to 8 days and 24 days.
Woo continued and revealed that the 2017 hash rate recovery took 24 days.
This happens to coincide with the weak summer months of June and July when Wall Street and “rich fellas” go on summer break to “their fancy holiday homes,” according to the analyst.
Also, Woo revealed the 2020 recovery which lasted for 8 days.
This was when markets were frazzled by the COVID crash, and “rich guys” took time away from Wall Street to recover, apart from Michael Saylor who was stacking and telling his friends to do the same, Woo notes.
And now, according to Woo, the markets are still waiting for the miners to “properly die.” He notes that so far, there are 61 days that passed.
Bitcoin hash rate refers to the number of attempts made per second to solve the mathematical puzzle that validates Bitcoin transactions.
A higher hashrate indicates the need for:
- more computing power
- increased energy costs
- longer verification and transaction times
This results in slower and more expensive Bitcoin mining.
According to recent reports, Bitcoin reserves held by miners dropped to their lowest total in over 14 years. However, their fiat value recently went close to the previous ATH of $135 billion.
