However, it is still worth noting that this is not necessarily bullish or bearish, but simply a regime shift. Mijnwerkingsing shares often fall and rise for Bitcoin. Therefore, if the decrease becomes significant, we could also see BTC pay off.
Bitcoin can currently disconnect because it enters a strong rally. Although macro -economic conditions may not be beneficial for mining companies.
