The overall weakness on the altcoin market stemmed from Bitcoin’s price struggling below $33,400 as most traders appeared to have gotten a start to their holiday weekend. The data from Tradingview shows that the BTC price traded in a tight range between $32,650 and $34,000 as the traders awaited for the new major news events or on-chain developments to initiate a huge price move of the top cryptocurrency. The overall mood on the market is one of uncertainty and it can be seen from the charts. The overall crypto market cap stands at $1,373 and BTC’s dominance rate is 45%.

As recently reported, The Bitcoin Mining Council’s findings are looking promising at first glance while the report explained that sustainable energy use increased between the first and second quarter of 2021 with a 15% uplift in the network efficiency measured in PH/MW. It was also revealed that the members reported that 67% of the total usage of green energy used to mine BTC comes from sustainable sources which ensure that the lower environmental impact than the one of the industry in other countries like China concentrates most of the BTC hashrate with a huge portion of miners using electricity generated by coal-fired plants.
