The first decentralized cryptocurrency, Bitcoin’s price fell up to 4.2% on Monday to $55,283, pressured by concerns over potential Mt. Gox creditor sales and cautious market sentiment following French legislative elections. 
Mt. Gox collapsed in 2014 after a 2011 hack, initiating the <a href="https://www.cryptotimes.io/2024/05/28/mt-gox-moves-9b-in-bitcoin-for-repayment-strategy/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">repayment of around $9 billion</a> worth of Bitcoin to creditors, potentially flooding the market with supply and impacting Bitcoin’s price trajectory.

Technical analysts, including <a href="https://x.com/Tony_Sycamore/status/1810084400941658326" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">Tony Sycamore</a> from IG Australia Pty, are watching Bitcoin’s 200-day moving average closely. A sustained rise above this level could signal a turnaround from recent lows, potentially indicating a market “capitulation” around $53,550. 
Bitcoin’s recent downturn marks its longest losing streak since the 2022 bear market, with concerns mounting until the Federal Reserve adjusts its monetary policy stance, according to Stefan von Haenisch of OSL SG Pte. 
Earlier in 2024, Bitcoin outperformed traditional assets with a nearly 70% year-to-date gain, but recent market dynamics show the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 index nearing parity with the cryptocurrency. Despite current setbacks, long-term sentiments remain optimistic, notes Khushboo Khullar of Lightning Ventures. 
The debut of US Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) initially fueled Bitcoin’s price surge, although recent inflows have moderated. Friday saw strong ETF buying following Bitcoin’s dip, suggesting resilience among institutional investors. 
Looking ahead, Caroline Mauron of Orbit Markets expects Bitcoin’s direction to hinge on global market trends, particularly Federal Reserve announcements and US economic data due this week. 
The options market reflects mixed sentiments, with bullish wagers concentrated around a $100,000 strike price, anticipating potential Fed policy shifts and political developments, including Donald Trump’s pro-crypto stance. 
While challenges from Mt. Gox and global market uncertainties weigh on Bitcoin in the short term, market observers remain cautiously optimistic about its long-term prospects amid evolving economic conditions.
