The analytics resource for miners. Hashrate Index, published its third-quarter report on the state of the largest bitcoin miners in the US and the mining industry on October 19.
The hash price – the market value of a unit of hash power in dollars per terahash per second per day ($/TH/s/d) – declined 83.5% over the year.
An index that captures the change over time indicates that the hash price – also called the profitability of mining – has fallen from $0.412/THs/day in October 2021 to $0.068. The drop in profitability is directly related to rising electricity prices and the decline in the BTC exchange rate.
The average cost of electricity for industrial plants in the U.S. rose 25% over the year, from $75 per megawatt in July 2021 to $94 in July 2022. In some states, such as Texas and Georgia, electricity has risen 65% over the same period.
Hash rates and mining complexity for bitcoin miners USA are on the rise
Adding to the problems with electricity has been the rising hash rate and difficulty of mining. It is now more mathematically difficult to mine a block.
According to BitInfoCharts, the average hash rate (often called network horsepower) is 271.5 hashes per second (EH/sec). This is a 66.5% increase from the end of the third quarter of 2021. The index renewed its all-time high of 295 EH/sec on Oct. 11.
The difficulty metric, which assesses the competition among miners looking to solve a task and mine a new block, also updated to a record high of 35.6T. When both values increase, it becomes more difficult for miners to mine bitcoins.
We previously reported that Japan would simplify requirements for the token listing process.

Bitcoin Price Analysis: Here’s Why BTC Jumped by 5% Today
![](https://letizo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/bitcoin-price-analysis-heres-why-btc-jumped-by-5today_66a3973a372e6.jpeg)
Bitcoin has recently experienced an uptick in demand near the crucial support region of the 100-day moving average, leading to a notable rebound.
This price action underscores a bullish sentiment in the market with the potential for a continued rally toward a new all-time high.
Technical Analysis
By Shayan
The Daily Chart
A detailed analysis of Bitcoin’s daily chart reveals that following a resurgence of demand near the critical $53K support area, the cryptocurrency initiated an impulsive bullish rally, surpassing several key resistance levels and introducing a bullish sentiment into the market.
These zones include the 200-day moving average at $60.5K, the 100-day moving average at $64.4K, and the static resistance at $61K. After breaking above the 100-day MA, the price recently exhibited a corrective retracement, completing a pullback to the broken level and validating the breakout.
Currently, Bitcoin has faced heightened buying pressure near the 100-day MA and experienced a bullish rebound toward the $67K threshold. If conditions remain stable, there is potential for the bullish trend toward the significant resistance region of $70K in the mid-term to continue.
The 4-Hour Chart
On the 4-hour chart, after receiving sufficient support near the lower boundary of the multi-month wedge at $54K, the price initiated an impulsive bullish rally, reaching the wedge’s upper trendline at $68K.
This price action clearly indicates that buyers are eager to push above the $70K resistance and set a new ATH for Bitcoin in the mid-term. During the recent rally, the price has formed an ascending short-term trendline, serving as the main support for BTC in the short term.
However, Bitcoin faced increased selling pressure near the wedge’s upper boundary, leading to a notable rejection toward the upslope trendline and the $64K support region.
Yet, the cryptocurrency was supported by the trendline and the $64K threshold, initiating a new surge toward the wedge’s upper boundary. Currently, the price is confined by the dynamic support of the ascending trendline and the dynamic resistance of the wedge’s upper boundary, roughly forming a triangle pattern.
A break above the wedge’s upper trendline will pave the way for a renewed bullish surge toward the $70K threshold. Conversely, a break below the ascending trendline could lead to a retracement toward the $64K mark.
On-chain Analysis
By Shayan
While Bitcoin’s price has experienced a notable bullish reversal, a closer examination is essential to determine if this trend will persist.
The Taker Buy/Sell Ratio, a crucial metric for evaluating futures market sentiment, provides valuable insights into the market dynamics. Values above 1 indicate aggressive buying by bulls, while values below 1 suggest bearish selling pressure.
The chart highlights the Taker Buy/Sell Ratio, which has experienced an impulsive surge above the “1” threshold concurrently with Bitcoin’s bullish revival. This surge signifies strong buying interest in the perpetual market, indicating a notable bullish sentiment and significant buying activity. If the upward trend in the Taker Buy/Sell Ratio continues, it confirms a potential mid-term bullish trend, with the price likely rallying toward the $70K mark.

Ripple Price Analysis: Is XRP Ready to Finally Explode Above $0.60?
![](https://letizo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/ripple-price-analysis-is-xrp-ready-to-finally-explode-above0-60_66a3972d84708.jpeg)
Ripple’s price is finally gaining some bullish momentum following months of downtrend and consolidation.
By TradingRage
The USDT Paired Chart
Analyzing the XRP/USDT pair, it is evident that the price has demonstrated a rapid recovery from the $0.43 support level. It broke above both the $0.5 level and the 200-day moving average, located around the $0.55 mark.
The price is currently on the verge of breaking above the $0.59 resistance zone and if it succeeds, a rally higher toward the key $0.72 resistance level would be probable in the coming weeks.
The BTC Paired Chart
The BTC paired chart also displays a similar behavior. The market has rebounded and broken above the 800 SAT level. Yet, the price has yet to break through the 200-day moving average, located around the 900 SAT mark.
Typically, a rise above the 200-day moving average indicates the beginning of a new uptrend. Therefore, if a breakout occurs, XRP will likely significantly appreciate against BTC in the short term.
