Bitcoin (BTC) is printing a fresh “buy opportunity” as miners face ongoing profitability struggles.

In one of its Quicktake blog posts on Aug. 30, onchain analytics platform CryptoQuant suggests that BTC price action is already near long-term lows.

Hashprice comparison hints BTC price “near a bottom”

Long-term Bitcoin metrics continue to buoy the bullish narrative this month — despite both miners and hodlers getting squeezed.

The former camp still faces post-halving profit hurdles, and the latest data shows that their hashprice could hardly be any less advantageous.

Designed to measure miner costs on a per terahash basis, hashprice is currently conspicuously low. CryptoQuant shows that in the past, price lows have emerged in step — but with a clear breakout later.

“The highlighted sections in the chart (blue boxes) indicate periods where the Hash Price dropped to lower levels, corresponding to times when Bitcoin prices were also at or near their lowest points,” contributor Woo Mink-yu explained alongside an illustrative chart.

“Historically, these lower Hash Price periods have coincided with Bitcoin price bottoms, suggesting that the current low Hash Price might indicate that Bitcoin’s price is near a bottom as well.”

The last similar period occurred after the 2020 COVID-19 cross-market crash and continued through that year’s halving event.

Earlier this month, CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju suggested that the overall picture being painted within the United States mining sector was one of sustainability.

“Miner capitulation is nearly over, with hashrate nearing ATH,” he wrote on X, referring to post-halving events as captured by the Hash Ribbons indicator.

“U.S. mining costs are ~$43K per BTC, so hashrate likely stable unless prices dip below this.”
