Bitcoin consolidates near 76800 dollars as hashrate and macro yields stay steady.
The Lead
Bitcoin trades in a narrow band around 76800 dollars with only light exchange outflows and ordinary volume, which shows holders remain in modest profit yet exhibit no urgency to add exposure. The ignored contradiction sits in network hashrate stuck below recent highs alongside steady macro yields that continue to anchor capital in conventional assets rather than pushing flows toward Bitcoin. The hard question is whether miner incentives and routing capacity will recover enough to support price before any renewed distribution pressure arrives.
