The performance of Bitcoin, often seen as a barometer for the entire crypto sector, reveals a paradox this year.

This situation indicates a disconnect between the soaring Bitcoin price and the stock performance of mining firms. Investors and analysts are questioning: what are the factors behind this divergence? While Bitcoin continues to attract attention with its resilience and the growing enthusiasm for ETFs and institutional purchases, mining companies face major structural challenges, notably related to energy costs, regulatory pressures, and operational inefficiencies.

As the year comes to a close, the bitcoin market finds itself at a decisive stage. Investors were hoping for a period of stability to end 2024 on a positive note after a series of significant fluctuations. However, several major technical indicators are countering these expectations and pointing towards a possible significant correction.
