On January 27, news reports indicate that as Bitcoin miners cut unprofitable mining activities due to rising costs, an on-chain indicator called the "Hash Band" has once again entered the market's view, being seen as an important signal for a potential rebound in Bitcoin prices. Recently, storms across multiple parts of the United States have affected some mining farms' operations, coupled with increased electricity and maintenance costs, forcing miners to shut down some equipment, resulting in a significant decline in overall network hash rate. Data shows that the Bitcoin network hash rate has dropped from approximately 1.2 ZH/s to about 950 EH/s, a decline of nearly 20%. This suggests that the next mining difficulty adjustment is expected to decrease by about 17%, the largest drop since China's crackdown on the mining industry in 2021. For the market, this kind of hash rate contraction is often seen as a sign of the "miner capitulation" phase.
