Bitcoin Hashrate Breaks Records Amid Sentiment Shifts
A recent analysis by CryptoQuant reveals that Bitcoin miner sentiment has sharply declined, a pattern often associated with major price recoveries or the formation of market bottoms.
Historical data from 2017 and 2018, as well as the pandemic-triggered drop in March 2020, highlight how declines in sentiment preceded sharp price rebounds. The years 2021 onward saw increased fluctuations during bull markets, while 2023 and 2024 displayed heightened volatility influenced by miner behavior.

Bitcoin Price Rebound Eyes Rally to $120k
A 4-day rally in Bitcoin price has recorded a surge from $91,900 to $98,350— accounting for a 7% surge. This upswing underscores BTC’s sustainability above the $92k level and common pullback support of the 50-day EMA.
The asset price surge above the fast-moving 20-and-50-day EMAs indicates the recuperate bullish momentum after a recent market correction. With sustained buying, the buyers could flip the last lower high formation at $100k, offering them suitable support for a higher rally.
The post-breakout rally could drive the Bitcoin price to $114,700, followed by $121,400, the horizontal levels coinciding with pivot levels R2 and R3.
