These are the underlying reporting inputs used to build the Research Brief. Sources are grouped by relevance so users can distinguish anchor reporting from confirmation and context.
What changed
Current hash rate has dropped by 10% due to a winter storm, adding additional strain from geopolitical tensions affecting price.
Why we think this could happen
Bear Case
Continued disruptions and tariff-related declines may push Bitcoin down to near $80K.
Bull Case
If mining operations recover rapidly and geopolitical tensions ease, Bitcoin could rebound to around $95K in the coming month.
Base Case
Bitcoin will likely remain under $90K as operational and geopolitical challenges persist.
Historical context
Past winter storms and regulatory announcements have shown similar effects of operational disruptions leading to price volatility in Bitcoin.
