The hash ribbon indicator analyzes Bitcoin’s hash rate using the 30-day and 60-day moving averages to measure miner activity and network health. When the 30-day moving average falls below the 60-day average, it signals miner capitulation; when it resurfaces, it signals a recovery and possible bullish price action.
As the price chart below shows, the latest capitulation of miners began on June 17, after the 30-day moving average fell below the 60-day moving average. Recent market dynamics have seen the 30-day moving average rise again, indicating that miners now have a bullish outlook.

However, recent data suggests that miners are capitulating may be nearing its endas increased activity on the Bitcoin network pushed miners’ daily earnings back above $40 million.
