When the 30-day moving average of the indicator crosses over the 60-day moving average, this signals an end to miner capitulation, as miners shift to more efficient mining equipment and re-enter the market.The Bitcoin Hash Ribbons indicator 2020-2024. Source: CryptoQuant


This often coincides with price bottoms for the scarce digital asset, according to the analytics firm, and offers an opportunity for investors to enter the market at a more advantageous price by carefully timing their entrance and buying the dip.Mining difficulty reaches new all-time high


On Aug. 1, the Bitcoin mining difficulty, which is a measure of the computational power required to successfully mine a single Bitcoin, reached a new all-time high, hitting 90.66 trillion. Since that time, the difficulty has adjusted down to 86.8 trillion—a slight improvement but still much higher than historic difficulty levels.Bitcoin mining difficulty. Source: CryptoQuant

As expected, this increased difficulty eroded miner profit margins, causing the miner hashprice, a metric that measures miner profitability, to fall to record lows of under $36 petahashes per second (PH/s). Miner hashprice later rebounded to around $40 PH/s but even this level is dangerously close to historic lows.Bitcoin miners diversify into other forms of high-powered computing services


The slow erosion of miner profit margins due to both increased computational power and a decreased block reward subsidy post-halving is driving miners to convert a portion of their mining operations to artificial intelligence and high-powered computing services.


In July, Bitcoin mining company TeraWulf announced it was diversifying operations into high-performance computing and AI data centers through the construction of a new facility at the company"s Lake Mariner site, allocating 2 megawatts of power for the company"s initial foray into data center services.
