Indeed, the Bitcoin price has been on a hot streak in recent weeks, returning to its past heights most investors have become accustomed to. However, the past week was a somewhat quiet one for the premier cryptocurrency, as it was for most of the digital asset market.
Interestingly, the latest on-chain insights suggest that the crypto market, specifically the Bitcoin market, might not be inactive for too long.
BTC Price Momentum Shifts To Positive – Impact On Price?
In a recent post on the X platform, popular crypto pundit Ali Martinez revealed that Bitcoin miner capitulation has seemingly come to an end. This on-chain observation is based on a shift in the Glassnode Hash Ribbon indicator, which measures BTC’s hash rate.
Typically, the Hash Ribbon features two moving averages; including the short-term (30-day) and long-term (60-day) hash rate. A cross of the short-term moving average below the long-term moving average implies miner capitulation, which is characterized by widespread sell-offs by miners.
On the other hand, when the 60-day ribbon falls under the 30-day ribbon, it indicates the end of capitulation and the potential start of a recovery phase for the network. As shown in the chart below, this positive cross appears to be the current situation for Bitcoin, signaling an optimistic future for the flagship cryptocurrency.
Ultimately, this means that Bitcoin miners are returning to the network and restarting operations, as they become more profitable. From a historical standpoint, the end of miner capitulation is a bullish sign, as it often precedes significant price leaps for the premier cryptocurrency. Martinez highlighted this in his post on X, saying “this could present good buying opportunities.”
Another indicator that supports this on-chain revelation is the Bitcoin Miner Profit/Loss Sustainability metric, which measures how fair miner revenues are. According to the latest data from CryptoQuant, the BTC miners have been making some profit over the past few days, putting them in the fairly paid region of the indicator.
Bitcoin Price At A Glance
As of this writing, the price of Bitcoin stands at around $68,230, reflecting a mere 0.7% increase in the last 24 hours. As earlier inferred, the premier cryptocurrency had an uneventful week in terms of price action, dancing between the $64,000 and $68,000 range.
According to data from CoinGecko, the BTC price increased by barely 1% in the past week. Nevertheless, the cryptocurrency retained its position as the largest digital asset in the sector, with a market capitalization of more than $1.33 trillion.

Opeyemi Sule
Opeyemi is a proficient writer and enthusiast in the exciting and unique cryptocurrency realm. While the digital asset industry was not his first choice, he has remained absolutely drawn since making a foray into the space over two years. Now, Opeyemi takes pride in creating unique pieces unraveling the complexities of blockchain technology and sharing insights on the latest trends in the world of cryptocurrencies.
Opeyemi savors his attraction to the crypto market, which explains why he spends the better parts of his day looking through different price charts. “Looking” is a rather simple way to describe analyzing and interpreting various price patterns and chart formations. However, it appears that is not Opeyemi’s favorite part – in fact, far from it.
Being able to connect what happens on a price chart to on-chain movements and blockchain activities is what keeps Opeyemi ticking. “This emphasizes the intricacies of blockchain technology and the cryptocurrency market,” he would say. Most importantly, Opeyemi thinks of any market insights as the gospel, while recognizing that he is only a messenger.
When he is not clicking away at his keyboard, Opeyemi is most definitely listening to music, playing games, reading a book, or scrolling through X. He likes to think he is not loyal to a particular genre of music, which can be true on many days. However, the fast-rising Afrobeats genre is a staple in Opeyemi’s Spotify Daily Mix.
Meanwhile, Opeyemi is a voracious reader who enjoys a wide category of books – ranging from science fiction, fantasy, and historical, to even romance. He believes that authors like George R. R. Martin and J. K.
Rowling are the greatest of all time when it comes to putting pen to paper. Opeyemi believes his reading of the Harry Potter series twice is proof of that.
Indeed, Opeyemi enjoys spending most of his time within the four walls of his home. However, he also sometimes finds solace in the company of his friends at a bar, a restaurant, or even on a stroll. In essence, Opeyemi’s ambivert (haha! been searching for an opportunity to use the word to describe myself) nature makes him a social chameleon who is able to quickly adapt to different settings.
Opeyemi recognizes the need to constantly develop oneself in order to stay afloat in a competitive and ever-evolving market like crypto. For this reason, he is always in learning mode, ready to pick up the slightest lesson from every situation. Opeyemi is efficient and likes to deliver all that is required of him in time – he believes that “whatever is worth doing at all is worth doing well.” Hence, you will always find him striving to be better.
Ultimately, Opeyemi is a good writer and an even better person who is trying to shed light on an exciting world phenomenon – cryptocurrency. He goes to bed every day with a smile of satisfaction on his face, knowing that he has done his bit of the holy assignment – spreading the crypto gospel to the rest of the world.
