Bitcoin's mining difficulty fell by 1.31%, marking the 10th difficulty drop in 2026 against 7 increases, leaving the difficulty near its lowest point this year at 125.81 trillion. This decline reflects ongoing miner capitulation and about 150 exahash per second of mining power disappearing from the network. While Bitcoin's price has rebounded somewhat from its October 2025 peak, narrowing the gap to 38.8%, mining margins remain tight and the next difficulty adjustment will be crucial in determining if miners can sustain a recovery or face further declines. For now, the mining sector remains volatile with potential for more shakeouts before stability returns.
