Bitcoin getting slammed from all sides — ETF selloff, Mt. Gox selling, and corporate holders bailing — short BTC with caution
Bitcoin is getting hit from every angle: investors have pulled $3.4 billion out of Bitcoin ETFs over 11 straight days of selling, a long-dormant exchange called Mt. Gox just moved $739 million worth of Bitcoin (usually a sign they're about to sell), and one of the biggest corporate holders just disclosed selling some of its stash. The price has slipped below $71,000.
Idea
Bitcoin is facing a rare pile-up of selling pressure all at once. ETF investors have been dumping Bitcoin funds for 11 straight sessions — the longest streak since the funds launched — yanking $3.4 billion out. At the same time, Mt. Gox moved $739 million in Bitcoin from cold storage, which historically signals an imminent distribution of coins to creditors who then sell. On top of that, Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), one of Bitcoin's biggest corporate champions, just disclosed selling some of its holdings for the first time. When institutional buyers become sellers and a major overhang of new supply hits the market at the same time, the path of least resistance is often lower until the selling exhausts itself. XRP may buck the trend — it actually attracted inflows last week — so it could serve as a partial hedge.
