Bitcoin mining profitability fell for the fourth consecutive month in november, as reported by jpmorgan. this sustained unprofitability could lead to increased selling pressure from miners needing to cover operational costs or reduce expansion plans, incrementally impacting supply.
The report comes from jpmorgan, a major financial institution, and is published by coindesk, a reputable crypto news source, citing specific data points regarding hashrate and miner market caps.
A prolonged period of declining profitability may force less efficient miners to reduce their btc holdings to cover expenses, or scale back operations, which could add a consistent, albeit gradual, selling pressure to the market.
The fact that profitability has fallen for four consecutive months indicates a sustained trend. the behavioral changes of miners (selling btc, reducing operations) will likely unfold gradually over an extended period rather than causing an immediate, sharp price drop.
