If recent technical signals are to be believed, it could be poised for a big gain.
Since the all-time high of nearly $69,000 it hit in November, investors have been searching for a bottom in the price of the digital currency. The total value of the entire market has been wiped off.
There is a measure of activity of miners of the digital currency.
Difficult mathematical puzzles can be solved using highly-specialized and power- intensive computers. They are rewarded for their hard work in the form of a virtual currency. It becomes more difficult to solve these puzzles as more mining takes place.
It can be unprofitable for miners to continue operations during a market slump. They sell some of the virtual currency to make ends meet. The mining rigs are turned off to save money.
The latest market slump can be shown by the measure of computational power used to mine the digital currency. When the market started to sell-off in mid- May, the 30-day average hash rate fell more than 7% and at one point it fell 10%. That was a sign that the machines were being turned off.
In order to figure out when the market might bottom, investors look at the hsy rate, which is studied in many ways.
Matthew Kimmell told CNBC that capitulation in the mining market tends to correspond with overall market bottoms.
CharlesEdwards came up with the idea of "hash ribbons" in order to identify buying opportunities for bitcoins.
A bearish cross is when the 30-day moving average is below the 60-day moving average. Selling is usually associated with these events Because there is less competition, the difficulty of mining is reduced.
The reduced competition may lead to more miners reentering the market.
The events of capitulation are painful for miners.
The worst of the miner capitulation usually ends when the 30-day moving average crosses back above the 60-day moving average.
When the 10-day moving average price of bitcoin goes above the 20-day moving average price, it's a good sign.
The crosses happened on Saturday.
If you held the currency for a long time, buying it at these points would give you a good return.
If the buy signal of August 2016 had been held to the peak of December 2018, the investor would have received a more than 3000% return on their investment.
Buying during the recent buy signal in August would have given you a return of more than 50%.
When major Bitcoin mining capitulation had occurred, I created Hash Ribbons as a way to identify when the price of the virtual currency had bottomed out. Historically, these have been great times to invest in the digital currency.
The buy signal is based on the 30 day moving average for the hash rate being crossed above the 60 day moving average.
He said that the metric should not be solely relied upon to make an investment decision.
The graph shows the correlation between the price of the coin and the number of users. It is divided into areas where there is a gold rush as the price goes up and then a shake out as the price goes down.
The market is currently in the shakeout period, which is typically preceded by a rally in prices, according to a chart provided to CNBC. The chart shows that the price line is below the average.
The graph shows the movement of bitcoin hash rate versus bitcoin price at different stages in the cycle.This could be a sign that a bottom is close.
It is not possible to say if we have reached full capitulation, but there is evidence that we are in the middle of the mining cycle. If previous cycles carry the power to predict, then a period of high price growth would follow.
The vice president of corporate development at Luno holds the same view.
There have been signs of capitulation given the events of the last few months. It's possible that the beginnings of a bottom could be found. Ayyar told CNBC via text message that it was possible that they were seeing a consolidation of the currency.
Since mid-June, the price of the digital currency has been in a tight range.
There are risks that the indicators may not be as positive as they have been in the past.
The current global economy is not the same as previous ones. There are aspects of inflation and interest rates that have never been seen before.
There has been a big sell-off in risk assets this year.
Ayyar said that all this is based on historical similarity.
We are closer to an inflation peak than not, and this shows that on risk assets we are closer to a bottom than not.
