$BTC Bitcoin is facing a downward trend of lower highs and lower lows, with both technical and fundamental analyses showing a bearish momentum. At the time of publication, the price on CoinMarketCap was 90,567, representing a 3% and 8% decline in the past day and week, respectively.

Bitcoin's mining landscape has reached a remarkable milestone. The network’s difficulty adjustment, a measure of how hard it is to mine a block, has climbed for the eighth consecutive time, hitting an all-time high of 110.45 trillion.

This marks a 110.45 trillion-fold increase in difficulty since Bitcoin's inception, data from Glassnode showed. This reflects the network's resilience and the intensifying competition among miners.
