The price drop comes hours after collapsed crypto exchange Mt. Gox said it would start processing repayments for its users.


More than $9.4 billion worth of Bitcoin is owed to approximately 127,000 Mt. Gox creditors, who have been waiting for over 10 years to access their funds.


This could introduce significant sell pressure for the market, according to Eric Balchunas, a senior exchange-traded fund (ETF) analyst at Bloomberg. He wrote in a June 24 X post:“That’s like over half of all the ETF inflows being negated in one shot. Damn.”


Adding to upcoming selling pressure, a German government-labeled wallet moved nearly 6,500 BTC on June 19, according to Arkham Intelligence.


The wallet has held nearly 50,000 BTC since February 2024, worth over $3 billion at Bitcoin’s current price of above $61,000.

Following the price drop to sub $61,000, Bitcoin’s price has become the most oversold since it was trading at the $26,000 mark.


This is based on the relative strength index (RSI), a popular momentum indicator used to measure whether an asset is oversold or overbought based on the magnitude of recent price changes.
