At block height 901,152 on Friday, the Bitcoin network logged its 12th

difficulty to 126.41 trillion. The next day, Saturday, miners pushed the 
network’s computational power to yet another peak, eclipsing the previous high 
recorded last month. Difficulty Drops, Hashrate Soars, but Miners […]

946 Exahash—Miners Push Bitcoin to New Computational Heights Despite Pay Drop

Over the past few weeks, the Bitcoin price has maintained a somewhat healthy 
momentum, forging minor swing highs and lows in its bull run revival. 
Interestingly, this early-week upward movement has been corrected following 
the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran. All in all, the overall 
positive outlook for the premier cryptocurrency has remained, even though it 
has been observed to be against historical perspective. An on-chain analyst on 
social media platform X has delved into this strange phenomenon in the BTC 
market and the possible reasons behind it. Bitcoin’s Historical Correlations 
With Macro Instruments In a recent post on the X platform, an on-chain analyst 
with the pseudonym Darkfost broke down what, until recently, used to be 
conventional expectations in the Bitcoin market relative to broader 
macroeconomics. The crypto pundit mentioned that investors consider key 
indicators when trying to decipher what institutional sentiments and the 
broader state of global liquidity may be like. Related Reading: Solana

key indicators investors highlighted in this analysis include the US Dollar 
Index (DXY), which measures the value of the US dollar against a basket of 
major foreign currencies, and the US Treasury Yields, which basically 
represent the return investors earn on United States government bonds. 
According to Darkfost, the above chart illustrates a well-known macro 
principle: when both the DXY and bond yields are on the rise, capital tends to 
flee risk assets (one of which is Bitcoin). As a result, the premier 
cryptocurrency becomes susceptible to corrective movements. According to the 
on-chain analyst, this principle is backed by historical trends, as bear 
markets in crypto have coincided with strong uptrends in both yields and the 
DXY. On the other hand, when there is a loss of momentum in DXY and yields, 
investor appetite tends to shift towards risk. The reason for this, Darkfost 
explained, could be expectations of Federal Reserve rate cuts, which fuel 
bullish sentiment across crypto markets. BTC Breaks Conventional Macro Logic 
In the post on X, Darkfost then went on to point out that the current BTC 
cycle has been unusual. The online pundit reported that there has been a 
decoupling between the Bitcoin price and bond yields, which manifests as a 
seeming annulment of the usual macro principles. The analyst noted that the 
Bitcoin price continues to maintain its upward movement, despite yields 
reaching some of their highest levels in Bitcoin’s history. But this holds, he 
was sure to note, when the DXY declines. Related Reading: Bitcoin’s Most 
Reliable Signal Just Flashed—Next Stop: $170,000 What this anomaly suggests, 
Darkfost inferred, is that Bitcoin has taken on a new role within the macro 
landscape, one that increases its perception as a store of value. To take it 
further, this means that BTC, as of now, may react a little less 
conventionally to the macro forces believed to influence the crypto market. As 
of this writing, the Bitcoin price sits just beneath $106,000, reflecting an 
almost 2% jump in the past 24 hours. Featured image from iStock, chart from
