BTC Price

Bitcoin Price Prediction: Since the second week of December, the largest cryptocurrency has witnessed high volatility creating an uncertain sentiment across the market. However, this consolidation came after an eight-week rally indicating the buyers are taking a breather before the next jump. The formation of a pennant pattern amid this sideways reflects a high possibility of uptrend continuation.

The Bitcoin price has been trading sideways for the past two weeks resonating in a confined range between two trendlines. After a significant growth such consolidation indicates the formation of a bullish continuation pattern called pennant.

The coin price reverted from both trendlines at least twice indicating that market participants are refreshing this chart setup. With an intraday loss of 1.1%, the BTC price has recently reverted from the pattern’s upper resistance. 

While the triangle pattern may prolong a sideways trend for a few days, its converging nature will result in a decisive breakout. In the most likely scenario, the coin price would breach the upper trendline of the channel pattern, intensifying the buying sentiment. 

The post-breakout rally would bolster the buyers to chase a potential target of $44850, followed by $53000.

Bitcoin Hash Rate Hits Record High

Bitcoin’s mining power, a key metric in assessing the network’s strength, has soared to new heights. Recent data, using a 7-day average, reveals that the hash rate has climbed to an all-time high of 512 eh/s marking a significant 9% rise within just a week. This increase aligns with the ramping up of mining activities as the anticipated Bitcoin halving event nears. According to insights from CryptoSlate, the current fee per block in Bitcoin’s network is considerably higher than in any previous halving cycle, hinting at potentially prosperous times ahead for those in the mining sector. This upsurge in the hash rate not only highlights the Bitcoin network’s robust competition but also mirrors miners’ solid belief in the long-term value of Bitcoin.
