Hash Ribbons is a rough historical pattern, not a guarantee. It has flagged good long-term buys near past bottoms, but it can whipsaw, and it says nothing about how deep a drop goes first.
Hash Ribbons watches two moving averages of hash rate, one over thirty days and one over sixty. When the faster thirty-day line falls below the slower sixty-day line, it means hashing power is dropping. In plain terms, some miners are unplugging machines because the price of Bitcoin has fallen below what it costs them to run.
That miner pain, shaded on the chart, has historically clustered around major price bottoms. The moments when the thirty-day average crosses back up through the sixty-day one, signalling that the survivors are switching machines back on, have marked some of the better long-term entry points in Bitcoin's history.
It is a pattern, not a promise. The signal can fire and then price can still fall further, and modern mining is faster to adjust than it used to be. Use it as one input about miner stress and recovery, alongside the valuation and cycle charts on this site.
