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

As a seasoned crypto investor with several years of experience in this volatile market, I’ve seen my fair share of market dips and recoveries. However, the recent plunge below $57,000 for Bitcoin has left me concerned about potential volatility and its impact on miners.


When Bitcoin dipped below the $57,000 threshold, unease grew among investors regarding the financial rollercoaster and the possible repercussions for miners.

Thursdays mornings saw persistent selling from speculators, causing Bitcoin (BTC) to fall below the $57,000 threshold for the first time since February. At present, Bitcoin has bounced back above this level, but its sudden decline may indicate vulnerability, possibly influencing the confidence of individual investors.

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

As a researcher at a blockchain analysis firm like CryptoQuant, I’ve observed an intriguing trend in the Bitcoin market. Specifically, we noticed that newcomers to crypto, who purchased Bitcoin within the past six to three months, have recently begun moving their coins. This activity could indicate increasing selling pressure among this group. Based on our data, roughly $2.4 billion worth of Bitcoin held by these beginners has been on the move.

As a crypto investor, I’m keeping a close eye on the current market turbulence and its potential causes. One factor that could be exacerbating the situation is the mining community, who are grappling with a swift decrease in hashprice. Hashrate Index, a leading crypto mining analytics firm, has reported that the current hashprice level of $44.69 is nearing an all-time low last seen during the bear market. This decline could force some miners to sell their reserves to cover operational costs, further impacting the market’s stability.

As a crypto investor, I’ve been closely monitoring the market trends, and according to CryptoQuant’s head of research, Julio Moreno, in a recent interview with crypto.news, we might experience miner capitulation if Bitcoin fails to show significant recovery by summer. He also pointed out that the hashprice has been consistently hitting new lows post the latest halving. Currently, Bitcoin is trading at $57,336 based on crypto.news data.
