The speed at which the computing power of the Bitcoin network returns could determine whether overall market sentiment is bearish or bullish, the researchers noted.According to the report, the hash rate of Bitcoin, the total computing power dedicated to the network, has recovered somewhat from its recent peak drop of 55% to a decrease of 39%.
