Bitcoin: New Records in Mining Difficulty

Bitcoin mining difficulty has reached a new all-time high, marking its eighth consecutive increase over the past three months.

Increase in Mining Difficulty

Bitcoin mining difficulty indicates how difficult it is to mine a new block on the cryptocurrency network. The adjustment occurs every 2,016 blocks, approximately every 14 days, to ensure blocks are mined on average every ten minutes. This is necessary to prevent blocks from being generated too quickly due to increased hashing power and the addition of new mining machines. Difficulty has increased by 6.29% over the past 30 days and by 19.99% over the last 90 days.

Is it a Bullish or Bearish Signal?

Historical data shows that consecutive increases in difficulty may serve as either a bullish or bearish signal. For instance, during the last bull cycle, Bitcoin's difficulty increased nine times consecutively, coinciding with the market peak at $69,000 in November 2021. However, similar increases in 2018 did not lead to the same rally seen in 2021.

Current Situation and Predictions

Bitcoin mining difficulty rose to 110.45 trillion as of January 13. However, it is expected to decrease to 109.54 trillion in 13 days. Despite current challenges, analysts still affirm that Bitcoin is in a bull cycle. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is changing hands at $91,00.

Mining difficulty continues to rise, posing new challenges for miners. It remains unclear, however, how this will impact the asset's price in this cycle.
