Intelligence agencies said they saw nearly 50,000 bitcoins worth about $2.7 billion controlled by Mt. Gox moved to another wallet, which could be a sign that the crypto could soon be distributed to creditors.

“Bitcoin’s direction in the coming days will be determined by selling pressure from Mt. Gox users,” Rachel Lin, CEO of decentralized exchange SynFutures, said in emailed comments.
“The market expects most Mt. Gox users to dump their tokens, but we could see a rebound if sales are lower than expected. On the other hand, if there are enough sales to push the price down, we could soon reach the $50,000 level.”
Lin warned that the “crucial levels” for bitcoin and ethereum were $60,000 and $3,350 respectively, both of which have now been “firmly” breached.
“As expected, bitcoin’s fall dragged all other assets down,” Lin said. “Ethereum is down nearly 9% over the week, and most memecoins are down 10-20%.”
