German Government Sells Final Bitcoin Reserves

The German government has sold its last Bitcoin holdings. This officially reduces its reserves to zero as of July 12th. According to Arkham Intelligence, the final transaction involved 3,846 BTC sent to Flow Traders. And 139Po was described as likely institutional deposit or OTC services. Over the past weeks, the government offloaded tens of thousands of Bitcoin. This is a significant factor in keeping Bitcoin's price below $60,000 and its 200-day exponential moving average.

Why did Germany sell its Bitcoin holdings? The majority of the 50000 BTC sold in the last three weeks were seized assets. This increased selling pressure. This substantial sell-off has kept the market suppressed. And it has prevented Bitcoin from breaking above critical price levels.

Despite the German government's reserves being exhausted. The market still faces selling pressure. The $9 billion Mt. Gox reimbursement plan may continue to affect Bitcoin's price in the coming weeks. Tony Sycamore analyst at IG Markets, believes that while reimbursements might impact the market they are unlikely to cause the disaster many fear. Sycamore suggests that half of the reimbursement supply could hit exchanges in July. This was long anticipated by investors.

Interestingly, during this period of selling pressure. Institutional investors have been buying the dip. CoinShares data reveals that U.S. exchange-traded funds saw $295 million in inflows for the week of July 8 reversing weeks of suppressed investment fund inflows. The additional $222 million worth of selling pressure has kept Bitcoin's price below $60,000. Signs of the potential bottom are emerging.

The German government's Bitcoin sales could help establish a local price bottom for Bitcoin. Technical analysis using the Wyckoff method indicates a possible recovery. It could climb above the $60000 psychological mark. Crypto analyst Moustache shared optimism. He predicted Bitcoin will surpass $60,000 soon. Crypto trader MartyParty also pointed to other indicators suggesting a local price bottom. One example is the Coinbase Premium.

Will the end of the German government's selling mark a turning point for Bitcoin's price? With various indicators pointing to a recovery the market could be poised for a rebound. However, the impact of the Mt. Gox reimbursements remains a factor to watch.

In conclusion, while Germany's Bitcoin sell-off has suppressed the market, signs of recovery are evident. Experts suggest that with the right conditions. Bitcoin could soon reclaim its position above $60000.
