BTC: Mining Pulse — Signed Headers (14 Days)

Bitcoin Mining Pulse — Signed Headers (14 Days) was 0.00885 on 7 Nov 2026 (latest daily value).

The 14-day average of how much faster or slower Bitcoin blocks came than the 10-minute target, as a fraction: -0.05 means blocks came 5% faster.

Why use it. Blocks come faster when hash rate grows between difficulty adjustments and slower when miners switch off; the 14-day average smooths out luck. How to read it. Zero is on target. Below zero, blocks are coming faster (hash rate rising, difficulty due to rise); above zero, slower (difficulty due to fall).

Calculation. Limits: block times come from the timestamps miners write into block headers, not from when the blocks were seen. Exact definition: The 14-day average of daily mean signed block-header intervals relative to the 600-second target, as a fraction above or below target. Zero means a 600-second average; -0.05 means 5% below target and positive values mean longer intervals. Header time is miner supplied, not an observed arrival clock, and negative or zero intervals stay signed. Lines at zero and +/-0.2 are display constants. This does not infer hash rate, miner identity, profitability or future difficulty. All 14 days are required; viewport changes preserve warmup. Open or unsealed days are null. Take an equal-weight arithmetic average of 14 consecutive daily mean intervals (child header timestamp minus canonical parent timestamp, by the child's UTC day, genesis excluded), then compute (average - 600) / 600. This is not a block-weighted pooled 14-day interval. Daily means are kept to 24 decimal places, half-even, and later arithmetic uses 40 significant digits.
