Although Bitcoin started July well, it fell to $ 58,500 with subsequent declines.
While investors who are already at a loss are wondering about the reasons for the decline and whether it will continue, analysts evaluate that the uncertainty in the US economy, Mt.Gox payments and whales' $BTC sales are behind the decline.
At this point, Bit.com Marketing Director Toya Zhang, in his statement to The Block, listed the events necessary for Bitcoin to rise:
“While many analysts and experts are predicting a significant increase in July, we believe it is difficult to see a significant increase without the lack of market liquidity and the huge benefit provided by new narratives and rate cuts that will start a new rally in the crypto sector.
We are also seeing many over-the-counter exchanges receiving large sell orders. This shows that family offices and high net worth individuals profited from the last bull cycle.”
Apart from this, $BTC whales have also been making large sales recently. According to Lookonchain's post, a giant whale deposited 1,700 $BTC worth $99.92 million to Binance within an hour.
While this whale was selling $BTC at a loss, he deposited 3,500 $BTC worth $206 million to Binance in just 6 hours.
Note that this whale deposited 1,700 $BTC($99.92M) to #Binance again 20 minutes ago.
