Gox wallets<\/a> amid repayments also spooked some to introduce selling pressure. The return of outflows for spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds on Tuesday supported this outlook, with over $78 million in outflows breaking a 12-day streak.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">So while prices have dipped since trading to highs of $68,495 earlier in the week, analysts are bullish on the flagship cryptocurrency\u2019s recovery in the short term.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Price holding above $66k points to this and analysts at CryptoQuant says positive sentiment could increase given Mt. Gox BTC recipients are largely choosing to hodl rather than sell. Bitcoin outflows from Kraken have continued to rise and analysts see it as a likely positive signal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cSignificant increase in BTC withdrawals from Kraken after affected Mt.Gox users start receiving their $BTC. This could be a positive signal, indicating that they are not selling and are preparing to hold their coins, moving them from the exchange to cold wallets,\u201d CryptoQuant <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/cryptoquant_com\/status\/1816049879518482895\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">posted<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> on X.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Nonetheless, Bitcoin price is currently at a level that 1-3 month BTC holders may look to sell. CryptoQuant analyst Yonsei said a breakdown from the $66.5k area could see BTC seek support around $63.6k.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-meta\">\n<hr class=\"mb-6\"\/>\n<h6 class=\"text-3xl  mb-4  text-green-300\">Share this article<\/h6>\n<hr class=\"mb-6\"\/>\n<h6 class=\"text-3xl  mb-4  text-green-300\">Categories<\/h6>\n<hr class=\"mb-6\"\/>\n<h6 class=\"text-3xl  mb-4  text-green-300\">Tags<\/h6>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/coinjournal.net\/news\/bitcoin-hovers-near-66-5k-as-mt-gox-users-choose-to-hodl\/\">Source link <\/a><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Originally posted on : CoinJournal: Latest Crypto News, Altcoin News and Cryptocurrency Comparison ) Bitcoin price still hovers above $66k despite Mt.
