Market Reactions and Liquidations

The drop in Bitcoin’s price led to significant market reactions, affecting other major cryptocurrencies like Ether and Solana, which both experienced nearly 10% drops. Ether fell to $2,898, breaking below the key $3,000 level it had maintained since mid-May. The majority of the liquidations were long positions, with $584 million in longs and $82 million in shorts being liquidated. Bitcoin long positions accounted for $222 million, while Ether long positions saw nearly $163 million liquidated.

Contributing Factors

The decline in Bitcoin’s value was influenced by the news of Mt. Gox’s latest cold wallet transfer. On July 5, Mt. Gox moved 47,229 BTC, worth around $2.6 billion, to a new address in its first significant transaction since May. Additionally, the German government added to the sell pressure by selling 7,583 BTC worth $419.5 million since June 19. Germany still holds 42,274 BTC, valued at approximately $2.3 billion.

These developments have dampened positive sentiment towards cryptocurrencies, with the Crypto Fear and Greed Index showing a score of 29 out of 100, indicating “Fear” in the market. Analyst Markus Thielen from 10x Research predicted that Bitcoin could drop further to $50,000 due to the increasing sell pressure.
