So we pushed up a little bit Yesterday with +11.81% and 161 Blocks. Today Period to Date we are at +5.6%.
The coin peaked at $720 Yesterday, closed at $705 and had pulled back a little this Morning to just under $700. Amazing that 2 Days ago we closed at $675 and only 4 Days ago we were at $579.

Probably due to a large amount of people selling (can't even call dumping at this point) their bitcoins, because only a month ago it was near 300$. Still, it looks like old miners are being turned on, because shortly before and after the price rose, we saw a small peak of hashrate. This'll probably be normal throughout the days before the halving, then we'll see a huge drop of hashrate and difficulty as old miners become turned off, and because there's just a higher ratio of old miner hashrate than s9 hashrate, at least as of now. Later past the halving, we'll probably see a return of hashrate as Bitmain's S9's get turned on, but it'll be a slow climb.
That said, I think hashrate will cap or keep a slow climb, so +2.74 = leowonderful is my guess.
