<p>Despite this, Avinash Shekhar, CEO of crypto derivatives exchange Pi42, highlighted in an interview with BeInCrypto that such price volatility presents opportunities for short-term traders.

<p>Further unsettling the market, the Mt. Gox bankruptcy estate transferred billions of dollars worth of Bitcoin to an unknown wallet. According to blockchain analytics firm Arkham Intelligence, this involved moving 47,228 BTC, valued at approximately $2.71 billion. As per the latest <a href="https://www.crypto-news-flash.com/mt-gox-bitcoin-repayments-less-daunting-than-feared-says-coinshares/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">report</a> from CNF, Mt. Gox began repaying BTC and BCH to creditors earlier today.</p>
<p>Before this, the estate conducted several small test transactions. With repayments expected to start soon, about 142,000 BTC and 143,000 Bitcoin Cash (BCH) are set for disbursement.</p>
<p>Additionally, recent actions by the German government have added to market anxiety, <a href="https://www.crypto-news-flash.com/german-government-escalates-bitcoin-sell-off-moves-282-74-btc-to-bitstamp-btc-price-to-drop-to-55000/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">reported</a> Crypto News Flash. This week, it transferred about 1,300 BTC, worth roughly $75.5 million, to its wallet and several crypto exchanges, including Bitstamp, <a href="https://www.crypto-news-flash.com/breaking-coinbase-fighting-for-all-bitcoin-and-xrp-investors-by-suing-sec-for-exceeding-their-authority/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Coinbase</a>, and Kraken. This development has heightened fears of further price declines.</p>

<p>Amid these developments, prominent crypto analyst Miles Deutscher expressed his frustration, suggesting that a swift drop to $48,000 could end the market’s current turmoil.

<blockquote>
 <p>Can we just nuke to $48,000 already and get this sh*t over with? Dear Germany &amp; Mt. Gox – please just jeet your entire stack. Dear retail, please just panic sell your low conviction alts. Just get the pain over with quickly, then up only,</p>

<p>Ali Martinez, a well-known crypto analyst, has highlighted Bitcoin’s current lack of significant support. According to Martinez, the primary demand wall is around $47,000. Per the CNF <a href="https://www.crypto-news-flash.com/bitcoin-falls-to-59100-should-you-buy-the-dip-or-will-btc-price-dip-to-50000-or-rise-again-above-70000/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">update</a>, for the bull run to resume, Bitcoin must close and maintain a position above $61,000.</p>

<p>The recent sell-off in Bitcoin has led to strong liquidations across the broader crypto market. Over the last 24 hours, more than $600 million has been liquidated from the crypto market as altcoins are facing an even deeper correction.</p>
