Bitcoin (BTC) Traders Celebrate as Hash Ribbon Turns Bullish Again
The popular Hash Ribbon tool, created by quantitative Bitcoin and digital asset fund Capriole Investments, has printed its first buy signal in a “macro bullish” event.
Hash Ribbon Sparks $100,000 Q2 BTC Price Target
Bitcoin miners appear poised for a resurgence as the Hash Ribbon metric marks the end of their latest “capitulation” phase.
The Hash Ribbon tracks potential long-term buy opportunities using hashrate; when miner profitability is at risk and network participants retire, this forms the capitulation phase, which in turn leads to long-term price reversals.
These are monitored using two moving averages of hashrate: the 30-day and 60-day. Capitulations correspond to the former crossing below the latter, while the reverse is true for buy signals.
According to data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView, the Hash Ribbon put in its latest buy signal on March 24. It is visible on both daily and weekly timeframes.
“This is macro Bullish,” trader Titan of Crypto wrote on X.
The previous Hash Ribbon buy signal came in July 2024. At that time, BTC/USD had yet to bottom out, and it took several months before a wave of upside began.
A similar scenario occurred after a buy signal printed in August 2023.
Optimism over the latest development seems tangible after much of Q1 2025 was marred by disappointing BTC price action.
“One of the most accurate mid-term indicators is bullish now,” fellow trader Robert Mercer added.
“Expecting $BTC to go back above $100,000 in Q2 of 2025!”
Bitcoin Ends “Multimonth RSI Downtrend”
As Cointelegraph reported, Bitcoin has already begun to tease a bullish market turnaround as March nears a close.
Chief among the signs is the relative strength index (RSI) indicator, which, like the Hash Ribbon, is in the process of returning to form after months of suppression.
On weekly timeframes, RSI has confirmed a bullish divergence for the first time since September, while the daily chart is showing a support retest after breaking through a downward trend line in place since November.
“The multimonth RSI Downtrend is over,” trader and analyst Rekt Capital confirmed to X followers this week.
