I noticed something interesting these past few days while looking at on-chain data. Bitcoin is currently trading around $77,800, while miners' production costs are around $89,000-$91,000. This means that many miners are underwater right now, which explains the ongoing selling pressure. Even operators diversifying with AI infrastructure are struggling to offset losses. The hash rate fluctuates between 980 and 1,150 EH/s, and the hash price remains steady at about $30-$32 per PH/s/day — it's tight for everyone except the most efficient.
What struck me is that despite this structural stress, signals are emerging. The Inter-exchange Flow Pulse has formed a golden cross above its 90-day average, a pattern we saw in 2016, 2019, and early 2023 before strong rallies. Meanwhile, stablecoin liquidity is increasing — USDC has risen by 9.34% in one month — and OTC institutional withdrawals remain strong. It’s as if large investors are starting to discreetly accumulate while miners and traders panic.
The NUPL sentiment has dropped to 0.2 — a territory of historic fear. But honestly, that’s often where we see capital rotations forming. Even XRP miners and other altcoin miners are watching how the Bitcoin market positions itself. If this stablecoin liquidity continues to grow and Bitcoin stabilizes above $77,000, we might see a consolidation before a broader accumulation phase. Keep a close eye on this.
