• Bitcoin is trading above $61K after plunging to $59K as Asia began its trading day
  • Bitcoin has seen significant selling pressure from continued ETF outflow, Mt. Gox’s upcoming bankruptcy redemptions, and miner sales.

As a seasoned crypto investor with several years of experience in this dynamic market, I have seen my fair share of price swings and market volatility. Bitcoin’s recent drop to $59,200 during the Asian trading hours was concerning but not entirely unexpected given the continued selling pressure from various sources.


Bitcoin‘s value hovers around $61,000 with resilience following a brief dip to $59,200 during early Asian market hours.

Based on CoinDesk Indices information, the biggest digital asset globally has experienced a 2% decrease over the past day and a 6% decline during the previous week.

The CoinDesk Bitcoin Trend Index indicates a notable decrease in Bitcoin’s price trend, whereas the CoinDesk 20, which reflects the top 20 digital assets, remains stable. Ether (ETH), unlike Bitcoin, has not experienced the same intense pricing decline.
The Ethereum staking platform Lido (LDO) has surpassed market gains with a 14% daily increase and a robust 25% growth over the past week. Traders are drawn to its attractive fee structure, impressive revenue generation, and substantial Total Value Locked (TVL).

Over the past few days, there’s been a notable increase in Bitcoin sell-offs. This trend can be attributed to two main factors: the upcoming Mt. Gox bankruptcy redemptions and the disposal of Bitcoins by mining operations.

As a market analyst, I’ve observed that Bitcoin ETFs experienced a net withdrawal of approximately $174 million when the market closed in New York on Monday. To put it into context, these ETFs had recorded a significant outflow of close to a billion dollars in the previous week.

According to wagers placed on Polymarket, there is a 14% probability that Bitcoin will reach $65,000 by the end of this week. In contrast, there is a 71% likelihood that the Ether Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) will commence trading before July 4.
