NewsBTC reports, “Demand for the Bitcoin network is beginning to take off, with the crypto’s ongoing price rise being the likely suspect behind this sudden uptick.
“This has resulted in the cryptocurrency seeing a massive spike in its transaction fees, which have nearly reached the yearly highs that were set just after the mining rewards halving event took place in May.
“Bitcoin’s hash rate has yet to decline and is still sitting right around its all-time highs. The high fees coupled with strong prices are making BTC mining increasingly lucrative, which could suggest that its hash rate is poised to see further growth in the near-term.
“Bitcoin’s prolonged consolidation phase within the lower-$9,000 region ultimately resulted in the benchmark digital asset incurring some strong momentum that led its price to highs of $11,400 that were set on Monday.
“From this point on, BTC has been consolidating within the lower-$11,000 region.
“This has caused the cryptocurrency to form an overtly bullish technical structure, with many analysts now calling for even further upside in the days and weeks ahead…”
