The cryptocurrency market has experienced a significant sell-off in the last 48 hours. Bitcoin’s price has dropped over 7.13%, landing at $54,370. Ethereum has also seen a sharp decline, falling 9.85% to $2,877 in the past 24 hours.
The primary cause of this decline is the lingering with Mt. Gox. According to Arkham Intelligence, Mt. Gox sold 1,545 BTC (about $84 million) on the BitBank exchange just 4 hours ago.
Additionally, earlier today, Mt. Gox transferred 47,229 BTC (roughly $2.71 billion) to a wallet identified as 1L7Xb.
Derivatives trading has also been impacted. Data from Coinglass shows that in the past 24 hours, total liquidations across the entire network have reached $676 million. A significant portion of this, $578 million, were long orders.
Where is Bottom?
The next bottom of Bitcoin will be at $51,000 price level where we can anticipate a possible recovery from this bearish trend.
Investors are closely watching these transactions, as the market continues to respond to the large influx of Bitcoin from Mt. Gox.
