Bitcoin’s recovery faces selling near $60,000, indicating that bears remain active at higher price levels.
The bears tried to resume the downtrend in Bitcoin (BTC) on July 8, but the bulls bought the dip. According to Farside Investors data, United States-listed spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) witnessed inflows of more than $650 million since July 5, indicating solid demand at lower levels.
However, the selling pressure is unlikely to end in a hurry. According to Arkham Intelligence data, the German government wallet seems to be preparing to sell 6,000 more Bitcoin. Additionally, markets will keenly watch the extent of selling by the creditors of the defunct crypto exchange Mt. Gox after they receive their repayments.
Uncertainty about the extent of Bitcoin’s additional supply in the markets has hurt sentiment. According to Glassnode data, the Crypto Fear & Greed Index has plunged to 27, its lowest level since January 23.
