Bitcoin’s price action in the past 24 hours has been nothing short of remarkable. After consolidating for several days in a tightening range, the market broke past the $105,503 support-turned-resistance zone earlier in the week and kicked off a steep climb in the past trading day. This has allowed Bitcoin to push into new all-time high levels, and is showing no signs of slowing down. Interestingly, technical analysis shows the rally comes off an approach of a golden cross between the 50 and 200-day moving averages, but FX_Professor offered a different take on the much-celebrated golden cross.

The share of Bitcoin’s total network hashrate attributed to publicly listed US miners has surged to nearly 34%, according to recent data shared by analysts at banking giant JPMorgan. Notably, their hashrate dominance has more than doubled since January 2022 (when it stood at roughly 15%). However, this growth was rather uneven. Their share of global hashrate kept fluctuating between 20% and 23%.
