The cryptocurrency market faces fresh liquidations after an action-packed week charged by US Presidential candidate Donald Trump’s speech at the Bitcoin Conference in Nashville. Ethereum price has started reversing the trend upwards, up 1.5% as bulls look forward to advancing to $4,000 later this week.
After a brief sell-off over the weekend, Bitcoin climbed above $70,000 on Monday but encountered volatility amid fears of a sell-off as the US government moves BTC.
The largest cryptocurrency exchanged at $67,227 according to <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/bitcoin">CoinGecko</a> data, down 1% on the day. Arkham Intelligence reported the transfer of 29,800 <a href="https://coingape.com/us-government-transfers-29800-bitcoin-from-silk-road/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin</a> by the US government in two batches confiscated from Silk Road, a dark web marketplace.
Investors seem to have been rattled by this transfer despite not being the first one in July. The first transfer occurred in the first week of the month as the government moved 237 BTC worth approximately $14 million at the time.
It remains unclear what is motivating these transfers, considering the same government moved another 60 BTC just last week.
Nonetheless, fears of an impending sell-off are spreading like wildfire. Should BTC sustain the downtrend, a retest of $66,000 support could follow before the next major rally above $70,000.

The ETH/BTC pair has gained 3.5% to a ratio of 0.0491 the successful retest of $0.0474 support. Traders expect a much stronger outcome this week, especially with the buzz around Ethereum exploding in the wake of the spot ETF approval.
On-chain data from Santiment affirmed this bullish thesis with a focus on Bitcoin, Ethereum price, and Solana. Interest in these three assets has been soaring compared to sectors like meme coins.
Prices in the crypto market tend to rise consistently as investors turn to top coins. However, Santiment argues that this is a sign of caution. Conversely, when attention shifts to more speculative assets, it gestures increasing greed.

An incoming buy signal from the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator could drive the uptrend further. Traders would be looking out for the blue MACD line crossing above the red signal line.

An ongoing recovery above $3,300 support emanates from a MACD-flaunted buy signal. With the MACD crossing above the neutral region into the positive territory, the path of least resistance is bound to remain upwards.
However, traders would be looking out for a breach of the 50-day and 200-day EMAs resistance, while blasting out of the channel would invalidate a potential bear flag pattern correction.
