- Lookonchain reveals that Mt. Gox transferred 47,229 BTC valued at $3.13 billion to three unknown wallets on Wednesday, adding to the 61,559 BTC worth $3.89 billion it has moved since July 5 to exchanges like Bitstamp, Kraken, Bitbank, and SBI VC Trade for repayment. With Mt. Gox currently holding $5.23 billion in Bitcoin, these ongoing transfers are likely fueling FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt) among traders, which may be contributing to Bitcoin's recent price decline.

Technical analysis: BTC price retraces to daily support level
Bitcoin price faced rejection at the weekly resistance level of $69,648 on Monday and retraced roughly 1% on Tuesday. At the time of writing, BTC trades slightly higher by 0.19% at $66,296.
If BTC continues to retrace, it could find support at the daily level of $64,913. If this support holds, BTC could rise 10% to retest its June 7 high of $71,997.
On the daily chart, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and the Awesome Oscillator (AO) indicators are trading above their neutral levels of 50 and zero, respectively. This robust momentum signals a strong bullish sentiment in the market.
BTC/USDT daily chart
However, a close below $62,736 and a break below an ascending trendline drawn from July lows would change the market structure from bullish to bearish by forming a lower low on the daily timeframe. Such a scenario might precipitate a 10% crash in Bitcoin's price to retest its July 12 low of $56,405.

Yes. The first Bitcoin futures ETF in the US was approved by the US Securities & Exchange Commission in October 2021. A total of seven Bitcoin futures ETFs have been approved, with more than 20 still waiting for the regulator’s permission. The SEC says that the cryptocurrency industry is new and subject to manipulation, which is why it has been delaying crypto-related futures ETFs for the last few years.
Bitcoin spot ETF has been approved outside the US, but the SEC is yet to approve one in the country. After BlackRock filed for a Bitcoin spot ETF on June 15, the interest surrounding crypto ETFs has been renewed. Grayscale – whose application for a Bitcoin spot ETF was initially rejected by the SEC – got a victory in court, forcing the US regulator to review its proposal again. The SEC’s loss in this lawsuit has fueled hopes that a Bitcoin spot ETF might be approved by the end of the year.
