Bitcoin’s quick dip below $57k forces beginners to capitulate, CryptoQuant says

The market turbulence might also be worsened by miners, who are facing a rapid drop in hashprice, a metric representing miner revenue per terahash. Crypto mining analytics firm Hashrate Index noted that the hashprice mark amid Bitcoin’s plunge is “scratching its all-time low,” a level last seen during the bear market. As of press time, hashprice is at $44.69, potentially pushing some miners to liquidate their reserves to sustain operational expenses.

In a May exclusive interview with crypto.news, CryptoQuant head of research Julio Moreno noted that the market is “likely to see a miner capitulation if prices don’t recover significantly during the summer,” adding that the hashprice (average miner revenue per hash) is repeatedly “making new lows” following the latest halving. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $57,336, according to data from crypto.news.
