It was updated again in the afternoon to showcase only its name and a dollar sign.Crypto majors showed mixed movement as bitcoin (BTC), ether (ETH) and BNB Chain’s BNB gained under 1% in the past 24 hours, while Solana’s SOL and XRP surged as much as 7%.

As such, traders look to Donald Trump’s executive orders and tariff decisions for cues on market positioning.“Crypto markets have dipped as traders take profit and wait to see the potential impact of tariffs on Mexico and Canada, which could impact stock markets when the US stock market opens tomorrow,” Jeff Mei, COO at BTSE said in a Telegram message. “However, we are optimistic that in the coming days and weeks, Trump will issue executive orders and roll back anti-crypto policies set by the Biden administration. With the recent appointment of pro-crypto Caroline Pham as CFTC Commissioner, we're already seeing positive signals,” Mei added.Traders such as FxPro’s Alex Kuptsikevich mirrored the thoughts in an email to CoinDesk.“The market’s rapid recovery is indicative of continued interest in risk assets. Bitcoin traded near the $105K mark. It was quickly bought back on Tuesday when it fell to $101K, but when it reached the $107K level early Wednesday afternoon, the market shifted to sellers. Clearly, optimism is high in the market, but an additional factor is needed for new momentum,” Kuptsikevich said.

According to BlockBeats, on January 22nd, Coindesk analyst James Van Straten stated that Glassnode data shows the hashprice indicator reaching 62 PH/s, which is a bullish signal in history. It is reported that hash price is an indicator created by Luxor to measure mining profitability. Most of the mining revenue in 2024 will be below the 365 day moving average (SMA). It wasn't until November that it returned to this moving average. Bitwise's European research director Andre Dragosch also stated that miners are in a healthier condition than last year. It has detected a recent decline in the hash rate of the Bitcoin network since its historical high in early January. At the same time, the price of Bitcoin has risen, and overall trading volume has rebounded again. This has led to a rebound in hash prices, which technically should incentivize miners to continue increasing hash rates. Overall, from the continuous increase in Bitcoin miners' holdings since the beginning of this year, it seems that Bitcoin miners have sufficient capital, which means that the amount of Bitcoin they sell each day is less than the amount they mine.
