- Mt. Gox transferred 11,501.4 BTC worth $1 billion, possibly affecting Bitcoin liquidity.
- A whale withdrew 3,238 BTC from Binance, raising further market concerns.
- The technical analysis shows mixed signals, with a bullish MACD and neutral RSI.
Mt. Gox, the Japanese exchange, has once again stirred the cryptocurrency market with a massive Bitcoin transfer. This time, the trustee behind Mt. Gox moved 11,501.4 BTC, worth approximately $1 billion at current market prices.
According to Spotonchain’s post, the new transaction included two significant movements: 10,608 BTC, valued at $929.7 million, was sent to a new wallet, and 893.4 BTC, valued at $78.3 million, was transferred to a warm wallet.
The movement of such a substantial amount of Bitcoin has raised concerns about potential market impact. Previously, after Mt. Gox’s last transfer, 332 BTC, worth around $25.5 million, was deposited into the Bitstamp exchange.
This caused some market fluctuations, as the movement suggested potential selling pressure. Given the scale of the recent transfers, there is speculation that the 893.4 BTC moved to the warm wallet might follow a similar pattern in the near future, possibly impacting liquidity on exchanges.
In a separate post on X by Spotonchain, a massive whale withdrew 3,238 BTC, worth $284 million, from Binance in the last 17 hours. The transaction occurred at an average price of $87.8K per Bitcoin.
This withdrawal comes after the same whale unloaded 12,287 BTC in February, valued at $1.16 billion, at an average price of $94.3K. This whale’s activities appear to be strategic, as it returned to accumulate Bitcoin when the price dropped to around $84.6K five days ago. Currently, the whale holds 15,986 BTC, valued at approximately $1.39 billion.
These simultaneous events, including Mt. Gox’s large Bitcoin transfer and the whale’s withdrawal from Binance, have put the market on high alert. The large-scale transfers indicate potential shifts in Bitcoin’s liquidity and could signal price volatility.
Tracking the BTC market motion, the MACD line is at 921.57, and the signal is at -695.07. This signifies that the MACD is above the signal line, which is typically a bullish sign. The histogram shows positive values, suggesting that upward movement may continue.
However, the negative divergence in the MACD’s histogram from mid-February to early March indicates a small weakening of bullish possibility. The RSI is at 46.37, signaling neutral market conditions. Since it’s neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30), the price could experience further fluctuations, with no clear overbought or oversold signals.
