Bitcoin rallies as selling pressure fades
Data from Arkham shows that the wallet used by the German government to transfer BTC is now out of funds. The wallet sent 3,846.05 BTC worth over $223 million to the trading firm Flow Traders, and 139Po (the firm marks this as a likely OTC service or institutional deposit), late on Friday.
The wallet address has emptied its coffers, with zero Bitcoin balance.
German government Bitcoin wallet
The transfers by the German government were contributing to the selling pressure on the largest asset by market capitalization. As the balance dips to zero, the selling pressure is expected to ease and make way for recovery in Bitcoin price.
Bitcoin sustained its recent gains and stayed above $58,000 on Saturday. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $58,142.
Data from Spot Bitcoin ETFs shows an inflow of $310 million on July 12, largely driven by BlackRock and Fidelity. The inflow was the highest recorded in the past five weeks. This supports the bullish thesis for Bitcoin.

What to expect from Bitcoin price
Bitcoin could extend gains by nearly 9% and rally to key resistance at $63,631. This coincides with the 50% Fibonacci retracement level of Bitcoin’s decline from its March 14 top of $73,777 to the July 5 low of $53,485, as seen in the BTC/USDT daily chart below.
Bitcoin faces resistance at the upper boundary of the Fair Value Gap (FVG) at $59,400 and $63,288. It's likely that Bitcoin has found a bottom on July 5 and the asset could extend gains.
