Bitcoin Bloodbath: Are Miner Dumpsters Signaling the Bottom is Near

The recent wave of miner sell‑offs has got me wondering if we’re finally hitting the floor or just another panic dip. Prices are sliding fast, but the on‑chain data shows a lot of fresh supply hitting the market. What do you all think – is this the bottom or just the start of a deeper plunge?

I'm not buying the "bottom is near" narrative just yet, at least not until we see some sustained support above 25000. From what I've seen, these miner dumpsters have been a thing for months now, and they never quite seem to signal a clear bottom. Maybe we're just seeing some more desperate dumping before the next big bounce?

idk what to make of this - I've noticed the hashrate has taken a hit too, but I'm guessing a lot of that's due to China's crackdown on mining, not necessarily miner dumping. Still, if we do get a significant drop in hash rate, it could help ease the supply side of things, right?

I'm long-term bullish on BTC, but I gotta say, those recent miner dumps are definitely eye-catching. Might just be a strategic move to stabilize prices, but it's hard to shake the feeling that we're due for a bounce soon. Would love to see some buying pressure on BTC next week.

I've been saying this for weeks, but I think the miner dumps are just a natural correction after the crazy run-up in May. If you look at the charts, it's pretty clear the price was overdue for a pullback and we might see some stabilization soon. Still, I'm not getting too excited until we see some real volume on the buying side.

I'm still holding out for a strong bounce from the 20k mark but honestly, miner behavior isn't a perfect indicator. If the hashrate starts to drop off significantly, that's when I'll take the signs of a bottom seriously. Until then, I'm not convinced we're done with the downtrend.

i'm not sure why people are putting so much stock in miner dumpsters as a bottom indicator, when in reality they're just trying to recoup their own capital losses. if you're trying to time the market, you could be in for a world of hurt. in the long term, the fundamentals of BTC remain strong, so if you're in for the ride, imo it's not the worst time to be adding.

Miner capitulation is usually the final shakeout phase, but trying to catch a falling knife is still risky. I'd wait for the dust to settle before apeing back in.

Miner capitulation usually signals the final flush before a turnaround, but trying to catch a falling knife is still risky. I’m waiting for the hash rate to stabilize before apeing back in. We’re probably close, but don’t get rekt buying too early.

Miner capititation usually takes a minute to fully flush out the weak hands. I’d bet we chop sideways a bit longer until the hash rate stabilizes. Definitely don't try catching this falling knife just yet.

Miners are underwater and forced to sell to keep the lights on, so I wouldn't be surprised if we bleed out a bit more before the real flush. We usually haven't hit true capitulation until the hash rate takes a massive dive along with the price.

yeah maybe, but till the 200MA or 50MA holds above the 50DMA on the 4hr, I don't put too much stock in these dumpsters signaling a bottom. the real test will be when the whales start buying in again, and I'm not seeing that yet. we'll see another leg down before any kind of sustainable bounce.
