Bitcoin Value Approaches Low Point as Hash Price Declines Reflect Trends Seen Before 2021 Market Surge
When examining Bitcoin hash price in relation to BTC price movements, it appears to indicate a potential Bitcoin bottom, reflecting the circumstances that preceded the breakout to new all-time highs in 2021.
In a Quicktake blog entry dated August 30th, the on-chain analytics platform CryptoQuant proposed that Bitcoin price movements might be nearing a bottom.
CryptoQuant observed that Bitcoin’s hash price, which quantifies the earnings miners receive per terahash per second, is notably low.

This trend is important as it highlights a consistent correlation where “historically, lower Hash Price periods have coincided with Bitcoin price bottoms.” A prominent instance of this correlation was seen in 2020 following the market crash triggered by COVID-19.
During that period, Bitcoin’s price reached significant lows, aligning with a sharp drop in hash price. However, as the year advanced, particularly after the halving event, Bitcoin’s price embarked on a strong upward trend, leading to a breakout to new all-time highs.
Bitcoin Miners Begin Accumulating: Is the Bitcoin Price Finding Stability?
Miner activity appears to support a possible reversal, as they seem to have resumed accumulation after a prolonged phase of outflows, according to data from CryptoQuant.

Miner reserves have rebounded to levels not seen since June, with a significant increase noted since August 24th.

Earlier this month, CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju pointed out a significant trend in the US mining sector, suggesting that it indicates a path toward sustainability.
He remarked that “miner capitulation is nearly over, with hash rate approaching all-time highs,” referring to the post-halving events highlighted by the Hash Ribbons indicator.
Ju also mentioned that the cost of mining in the US is approximately $43,000 per Bitcoin. He indicated that the current hash rate is likely to remain stable as long as Bitcoin prices do not fall below this level.
This reinforces the likelihood of Bitcoin’s price stabilizing and recovering in accordance with historical patterns following periods of miner capitulation.
When Might We Witness a Bitcoin Surge?
Long-term Bitcoin indicators continue to support the optimistic narrative this month — although the timing of the next phase of this bull cycle remains a prominent discussion point within the crypto community, particularly in light of current market conditions.
Importantly, the Bitcoin halving could act as a reference point for forecasting the next surge. In an X post dated August 21st, CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju noted that previous post-halving rallies have generally commenced in the fourth quarter (Q4) of each halving year.

Young Ju further stressed that, in his opinion, “whales won’t let Q4 be boring with a flat YoY performance,” suggesting that significant market activity is anticipated as we near the year’s end.
