Here’s When Bitcoin (BTC) Price Recovery Will Start This Year

Despite the massive purchase of over 11,900 Bitcoin by MicroStrategy, the world’s largest cryptocurrency continues to lose steam falling further beneath $65,000 levels. As of press time, the Bitcoin price is trading down 1% at $64,505 with a market cap of $1.271 trillion. Analyst Willy Woo makes a strong analysis of the Bitcoin mining market, and historical trends, to determine when will the BTC price recovery start this year.

When Will the Bitcoin Price Recovery Start?

After facing a strong rejection at $72,000 earlier this month, the BTC price has been heading southwards correcting over 10% from the June high. As Bitcoin loses crucial support levels, the chances of a BTC price drop

to $60,000 are growing further.

As per historical trends, the Bitcoin miner capitulation has continued for months after the halving events. Putting his focus on Bitcoin miner capitulation and hash rate recovery, analyst Willy Woo explains that the Bitcoin price recovery hinges majorly on weak miners exiting the market along with the subsequent recovery of the hash rate.

“This one is for the record books as it’s taking a lot of time for miner capitulation post-halving,” Woo noted. Besides, he also attributed some resilience in miner profits to ordinal inscriptions.

I’ll break it down in simple terms.

When does #Bitcoin recover? It’s when weak miners die and hash rate recovers.

Woo compared the current situation with the hash recovery during the previous halving cycles of 2017 and 2020. This typically coincided with the slow summer months when usually the affluent Wall Street investors go on a vacation. As of now, it’s been already 61 days since the Bitcoin halving event 2024.

These consecutive Bitcoin ETF outflows show that institutional interest in Bitcoin has been waning a bit amid the Fed’s current stand on holding interest rates higher for a longer-than-expected period. This has also led to the selling pressure on Bitcoin price.
