Resistance

Bitcoin (BTC) has faced massive fluctuations due to several macro factors and industry-related events. This month, the German government’s sale of seized Bitcoin continues to shape sentiments amid criticisms from industry players. BTC price dropped below $55,000, levels not recorded in months after the momentum of spot ETF inflows.&nbsp;
The government seized 49,857 BTC and began moving assets to several centralized exchanges and wallets sparking wider selloffs and liquidations. These outflows plummeted the price of the crypto leader as well as a similar direction in altcoins. At press time, Bitcoin trades at $57,219, down 0.42% in the last 24 hours.

A major debate on social media spaces has been the impact of German Bitcoin sales and the activities of institutional investors. Certainly, massive sales and movement of assets to exchanges will weaken sentiments but some opine the fall was too low. This is due to increased spot <a href="https://coingape.com/bitcoin-etfs-dominate-us-market-in-q1-2024/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin ETF</a> inflows that saw assets rally to an all-time high above $73,000.&nbsp;
Similarly, <a href="https://coingape.com/peter-schiff-slams-bitcoin-bulls-lampoons-institutional-demand/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Peter Schiff</a> poked holes in the institutional inflows narrative noting that firms could have offered to buy the assets to reduce market impact. It should be noted that Justin Sun made an offer on X to buy the assets. As inflows to crypto exchanges continue, sentiments are to remain low.&nbsp;
At the moment, the <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://platform.arkhamintelligence.com/explorer/entity/germany" target="_blank">German government</a> holds 39,826 BTC after selling about 10,000 assets with sell pressure accounting for over 10% of daily volumes.

Bitcoin users have criticized sales by the German government in recent weeks. Notable German legislator Joana Cotar spoke against the hasty sales of assets suggesting a move towards currency reserves. Bulls also look to potential interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve to boost macro sentiments. This will see investors turning funds into risky assets and can drive up prices. Crypto users eye a return of the market cap above $2.5 trillion which currently sits at $2.11 trillion.&nbsp;
