What’s Next for Bitcoin Price After German and Mt. Gox Moves?

Can Bitcoin Break $70K in August Amid New US Crypto Plans? Editors News
  • Bitcoin price has shown a bullish movement with a 3.58% increase in the past day. 
  • The cryptocurrency’s daily trading volume showed an upward movement by 5.64%.

The largest cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, has been the community’s prime focus in the past two months, due to its price activity. With external factors taking a toll on Bitcoin, prices showed significant plunges and volatility. The drop in BTC price led to a considerable crypto market crash at the beginning of this month. 

Notably, the concurrence of the German government’s BTC sell-off and Mt.Gox transfers were the two prominent external factors that caused the price dip. Bitcoin, previously trading at the $69K level plummeted all the way down to $57K levels. 

However, in the following weeks, Bitcoin showed resistance to the German government’s selling and prices began to recover. Presently, the token has regained its position over the $60K level and is showing signs of bullish trends. 

According to TradingView reports, the digital asset has shown a weekly price increase of 13.32%. Additionally, Bitcoin’s RSI stands at 63.60 indicating a strong buying sentiment in the market.
