In recent weeks, a number of experts like online analyst Ali Martinez and CryptoQuant specialists have announced the surrender of miners. Cryptocurrency miners turn off equipment that has become unprofitable after the April halving and sell bitcoin reserves to maintain operations.

The Hash Ribbons indicator also signaled this. Its creator, the founder of Capriole Investments, Charles Edwards, noted that the surrender of miners is accompanied by a drop in price, historically providing an opportunity for profitable purchase of cryptocurrencies.

Recall that Glassnode analyst James Check disagreed with such opinions, pointing out that about 5% of capacities are experiencing difficulties, and there is no total sale.
