Mt. Gox Transfers $905.1 Million in Bitcoin Amid Market Decline

2 min

The defunct cryptocurrency exchange Mt. Gox transferred 11,833 BTC amid a market downturn on March 11. Key details include:

  • 11,501 BTC (approximately $905.1 million) sent to a new wallet
  • 332 BTC ($26.1 million) directed to a warm wallet for upcoming repayments

This marks the second significant Bitcoin transaction in less than a week, following a transfer of 12,000 BTC (about $981 million) on March 6. Speculation arises that further Bitcoin sales could impact the market.

Bitcoin Price Movement

On the same day, Bitcoin hit a four-month low of $76,800 before recovering to $81,500. Relevant observations include:

  • Crypto Fear and Greed Index dropped to “extreme fear” levels
  • 200-day Simple Moving Average at $83,454 indicates potential bearish trend
  • MACD shows deepening bearish momentum but may signal reversal if buyers enter
  • Bollinger Bands indicate oversold conditions near the lower band at $77,440
  • Potential test of support at $66,000 if downward pressure persists
