Just noticed something interesting in the bitcoin mining news - the Miner Financial Health Index is sitting at 27.7%, basically right at the edge of that critical 20% zone. When miners are this squeezed, it usually means the weaker players are getting pushed out of the game.

Historically this kind of stress tends to signal a market bottom forming. The way it works is once enough of the unprofitable miners tap out, the remaining ones actually start operating under better conditions. That's when you typically see price stabilization kick in. Hashprice and block profitability are both tight right now, but there's a case to be made that we're nearing the end of the forced selling phase.

BTC is trading around 78K right now, up 2% in the last day. The bitcoin mining news cycle suggests we could be closer to a shift than people think. Not saying it's guaranteed, but the setup is worth watching if you're paying attention to on-chain stress indicators.
