Earlier this year, the German government sold its entire Bitcoin stash of 50,179 BTC, worth approximately $3.3 billion at current prices. This sell-off pushed Bitcoin down to the $50,000 level as sellers dominated the market.

Similar concerns arose when Mt. Gox announced its repayment plan. Investors feared a Bitcoin crash when the defunct exchange began distributing its 138,985 BTC. Almost 70% of the distribution is complete, and Arkham Intelligence data shows the exchange’s wallet holds $2.95 billion in BTC.

As per the chart above, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) of Bitcoin stands at 66.39, indicating that bulls control BTC price action. The line’s gradient suggests Bitcoin is approaching overbought levels.
