    Mt. Gox $6 Billion Bitcoin Stack on Move Again: Selling Incoming?

    The latest move saw Mt. Gox transfer 0.021 BTC to a new wallet 10 minutes ago. This might mean that plans are underway to pay back creditors, given that 90,344 BTC (worth $6 billion) are held by Mt. Gox.These little transactions frequently signal bigger fund movements, which concerns the market about possible effects on the price of Bitcoin. It is interesting to note that prior exchange transfers did not cause market meltdowns.Even with sizable holdings, the majority of investors are not liquidating their Bitcoin holdings in bulk. They are attempting to maintain the market’s stability and liquidity instead. Even in cases where significant volumes are moved, this approach has prevented strong price drops.With its price hovering around $67,000, Bitcoin’s value is relatively stable and might not be affected by the move too much. Essential moving averages that traders use to determine the direction of the market are the 50 EMA, 100 EMA and 200 EMA.Despite the possible inflow of Mt. Gox’s Bitcoin to the market, it appears from recent movements that Bitcoin is holding strong. In light of previous actions, it is most likely that Mt. Gox will keep transferring money in a way that causes the least amount of disturbance to the market.The consensus among on-chain and market analysts is that the market can handle these transfers without suffering a significant crash, but traders should still keep a close eye on these transactions.This article was originally published on U.Today More

    ‘Rich Dad, Poor Dad’ Author Kiyosaki Drops Game-Changing Advice on When to Get Rich

    As real estate markets crash, he highlights the importance of making money in your sleep — a key lesson from his Rich Dad character. According to Kiyosaki, the time to generate passive income is now.Kiyosaki’s receipt is well-known. He believes Bitcoin, along with gold and silver, is essential for preserving and growing wealth in these turbulent times. Once a crypto skeptic, the writer now calls Bitcoin “people’s money” and projects it could reach half a million dollars by the next year. This shift aligns with his long-standing criticism of traditional financial systems and the Federal Reserve’s policies, which he argues devalue the dollar, making it “fake.”Instead, he advises continual learning, attending seminars, changing your social circle and listening to successful individuals rather than those in traditional nine-to-five jobs. According to him, bad times are coming, but the brave, smart and open-minded will become richer and wiser.Meanwhile, the price of Bitcoin has risen by 20% in the last two weeks. From bottoming out at $55,000 to approaching $70,000 — the price of BTC is about to hit a new all-time high, and if it does indeed do so again this year, maybe the “best time to get rich” is really approaching.This article was originally published on U.Today More

    Peter Brandt Reveals His Bearish Bitcoin (BTC) View

    The seasoned trader Peter Brandt recently shared his opinions on where he believes the price of Bitcoin is right now. He noted that contrary to what some may believe, the consolidation phase that Bitcoin is currently going through does not resemble a bullish flag pattern. As an alternative, Brandt observed a downward channel, indicating a potential bearish trend.Brandt’s analysis is predicated on the classical charting methods developed by Schabacker Edwards and Magee. He felt that pattern labeling ought to adhere to these accepted standards. According to Brandt, the current Bitcoin pattern has persisted for far too long to be taken seriously as a warning indication. Instead, the pattern is more akin to a down channel, which often indicates further potential downside.The price movement of Bitcoin as seen on the provided chart, which displays a series of lower highs and lower lows, is consistent with a down channel. This pattern gradually lowers the price due to resistance levels, which typically denotes a declining phase of the asset. In the event that the downward trend continues, there may be increased selling pressure on Bitcoin, which could push prices below their current levels. This view contradicts the hope that some investors have for the future of Bitcoin, especially in view of the divergent signals from various technical indicators. In general, it is not clear whether or not the bullish rally will continue in the upcoming week. One way or another, we need a fresh inflow of funds in order to see Bitcoin at $70,000 or above.This article was originally published on U.Today More

    Legendary Trader Peter Brandt Reveals Real Concern for Bitcoin

    Brandt, a well-known figure in trading with almost 50 years experience on financial markets, shared his latest insights through a price chart. The chart shows that from March until now, Bitcoin has not been able to reach higher highs and continues to set lower lows. This ongoing pattern suggests a downtrend trend, even though the current bounce seems promising.In the subsequent social media exchange, the trader discussed the possibility of a head and shoulders pattern forming on the cryptocurrency’s monthly chart. This pattern, known for signaling potential market reversals, consists of three peaks: a higher peak (the head) between two lower peaks (the shoulders).If Bitcoin were to develop this pattern, it could indicate that a bearish shift in price direction might be on the horizon.Nevertheless, Brandt noted that while this pattern is a real consideration, it has not been confirmed yet. He emphasized that the daily chart needs to show further evidence before people draw any definitive conclusions about the pattern’s validity.The cautious tone of the veteran trade is a reminder to stay alert, even with the recent positive movement of BTC.This article was originally published on U.Today More
