ASRock Expects GPU Mining Demand to Drop Later This Year
ASRock expects that GPU shipments will grow in Q2 2021 despite the global component shortages and an anticipated decline in Chinese cryptocurrency mining demand. ASRock believes that GPU availability will improve in H2 2021 as supply chain constraints are alleviated which will hopefully apply some downwards pressure on pricing. China currently accounts for a large portion of global cryptocurrency mining hardware demand but as restrictions are introduced this demand is expected to fall drastically. Ethereum is also expected to move to a Proof-of-Stake system later this year which will drastically reduce mining profitability.

Well, people always get caught off guard because they look at the short time frames, but if you look at the longer one (Weekly), you can see there was a bull trap (Look at the yellow arrow) The pink one showed a so called "bullish momentum back upwards" but two weeks later though... another ouch. It seems that the Wyckoffs Distribution is in playing out nicely... personally, I am expecting another hell of a drop in the future because of that distribution chart.
Whales are gonna whale and we will see our asses as usual.
WAIT (if you can) till the next gen is out so it really forces prices down, then you can buy something second hand, screw them all.
Things are heating up and we might just start to see GPUs in stock in the near future. :love:
Can find most cards from 1660-3080/Ti in stock but the prices are a diff story tho.
Just checked the retailer where I usually buy my brand new hardware and they have 9 different 6700XT, cheapest being 1200$.:laugh:
gpu mining is still profitable just not so much so.. demand still exceeds retail supply..
trog
Still a very unhealthy market here, that card used to cost about half of that in ~2020 October or so. 'I was also considering buying one or a 5600XT back then but I ran out of time while saving up money'
Anyways, people will find out the hard way and like I said, no sympathy from me, just how they had none for gamers who needed GPUs.
I do see RTX 3060's (non ti) for $800 CAD on used market though.
Either way the real price drop wont happen here until ppl start mass selling their GPUs/mining rigs and the market gets flooded like last time.
Thats when I bought my current GPU in 2018 September with 2 and half years warranty left on it. 'still works perfectly fine, did a paste+thermal pad replacement earlier this year after it ran out of warranty but it wasn't in a bad condition'
Until then prices stay more or less the same.
That being said, we should not wish death upon them, but rather wish that they live to suffer the imminent pain. :p
