Silk Road

The Bitcoin price tumbled 4% in the last 24 hours to trade for $66,716 as of 00:14 a.m. EST on trading volume that soared 87%.
The BTC price falls followed reports that the US Government moved $2 billion worth of BTC to a new address.

It tracked the 29,800 Bitcoin tokens&nbsp;from a government wallet that stored the Bitcoin seized from&nbsp;the shuttered&nbsp;dark web marketplace Silk Road in 2022 to an unknown wallet address on July 29.

It comes only days after the Bitcoin 2024 Conference, where former US president <a href="https://insidebitcoins.com/news/everything-you-need-to-know-about-donald-trumps-momentous-bitcoin-2024-speech-in-nashville" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Donald Trump pledged never to sell any of the US government’s Bitcoin</a>.
He committed to create a “strategic national BTC stockpile” if reelected. Besides Trump’s remarks, Wyoming Senator Cynthia Lummis also declared the introduction of legislation to make Bitcoin a strategic reserve asset of the US.

Nevertheless, some say it may be related to a July 1 agreement between the US Marshalls Service and crypto exchange Coinbase. According to a Coinbase report, the two parties&nbsp;<a href="https://www.coinbase.com/en-nl/blog/u-s-marshals-service-chooses-coinbase-to-safeguard-trade-its-large-cap" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">signed</a>&nbsp;a deal, where Coinbase would “safeguard” US Government crypto assets.

The Bitcoin price retains its bullish stance, with one trader anticipating a golden cross pattern on the 12-hour timeframe. A golden cross is a technical analysis chart pattern that occurs when a short-term moving average crosses above a long-term moving average.
The pattern suggests that the overall trend is shifting to the upside and may indicate a potential increase in the price of the cryptocurrency. Traders often see this as a signal to buy or hold onto their positions.

Perhaps, one catalyst that could help activate this chart pattern is the upcoming Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting and press conference by Fed chair Jerome Powell.
The FOMC’s decisions are critical as they directly influence economic conditions, inflation rates, and monetary policies. As such, investors across all markets, including in the crypto sector, highly anticipate this meeting.

Higher interest rates make borrowing expensive, which negatively impacts risk-on assets. This is because traders use leverage for gains in risk-on assets like crypto.
According to former Goldman Sachs executive&nbsp; Raoul Pal, the confluence of a weaker US dollar, a healthy correction on the Nasdaq, and US elections could catapult the Bitcoin price to a new all-time high amid a “macro summer.”
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">
 This confluence of events maybe take a little more time to play out, or could happen with the FOMC. Who knows… but good times lie ahead.
 Enjoy Macro Summer.

<h2 id="bitcoin-price-prediction-amid-concerns-over-us-government-btc-transaction">Bitcoin Price Prediction Amid Concerns Over US Government BTC Transaction</h2>
The Bitcoin price is trading with a bullish bias after completing a V-shaped recovery. However, the pioneer crypto faced a rejection from the $68,346 level. Despite the pullback, the odds continue to favor the upside.
Looking at the Relative Strength Index (RSI), which continues to hold above the mean level of 50, the bulls remain at play. Similarly, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) is in positive territory, accentuating the bullish thesis.
Accordingly, the correction could provide a good entry for late bulls as the Bitcoin price continues to hold above the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level of $65,445.
A bounce atop this support level could set the pace for a move north toward the $68,346 resistance level. In a highly bullish case, the gains could send the pioneer cryptocurrency ascend to reclaim the $73,036 threshold.

Conversely, if the downtrend continues, the Bitcoin price could slip below the $65,445 level. Nevertheless, only a candlestick close below $53,165 would invalidate the bullish thesis.
Meanwhile, data according to on-chain aggregator IntoTheBlock’s Global In/Out of the Money metric shows that the area between $66,738 and $69,725 offers strong resistance for the Bitcoin price. Within this range, 2.7 million addresses hold 1.58 million BTC bought at an average price of $68,082.
