According to Bitcoin Spend output Age Bands data, a single <a href="https://coingape.com/glossary/wallet-address/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wallet address</a> transferred over 25,000 BTC worth over $1.6 billion. The age of the BTC is from 3 to 5 years, sparking speculation of a selloff as the sentiment for upside wanes.

Traders also brace for U.S. GDP growth rate data on Thursday and the Fed’s preferred inflation data <a href="https://coingape.com/heres-why-bitcoin-price-will-continue-to-underperform-us-stock-market-in-coming-weeks-heres-why/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">PCE inflation</a> data on Friday. This coincides with the $6.72 billion options expiry. Investors are holding onto their coins, but high volatility and selling pressure amid these factors can cause Bitcoin price to sink below $60,000 and even dip to $57,000. 
Moreover, there’s an additional selling pressure on the Bitcoin price due to strong <a href="https://coingape.com/tag/bitcoin-etf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bitcoin ETF</a> outflows&nbsp;shooting past $500 million during the past week. At the same time, the&nbsp;<a href="https://coingape.com/bitcoin-whale-activity-germanys-3-billion-btc-holdings-on-radar/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">German government</a> has been sending huge BTC from its holdings to exchange. 
<a href="https://coingape.com/price/bitcoin" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BTC price</a> currently trades at $64,286, up 1% in the last 24 hours. The 24-hour low and high are $63,437 and $64,475, respectively. Trading volume has dropped 47% in the past 24 hours, which indicates a lack of interest from traders amid negative sentiment.
