Bitcoin hodlers are once again realizing profits.

๐Ÿ“Š Bitfinex analysts report that long-term Bitcoin holders have resumed profit-taking, signaling potential short-term vulnerability for the cryptocurrency.

Despite trading below its March peak, Bitcoin's profit-taking levels are notable, albeit less extreme than previous highs. ๐Ÿง

๐Ÿ“ˆ CryptoQuant data shows the SOPR indicator at a record 2.7 among these holders, historically preceding price corrections.

Bitfinex Alpha warns that while profit-taking in bullish markets is normal, the current scale raises concerns of short-term price pressure and potential medium-term market effects. ๐Ÿ“‰๐Ÿ’ก

๐Ÿš€ Standard Chartered predicts Bitcoin could reach new highs by August, potentially hitting $100,000 by the U.S. presidential election in November.

Geoffrey Kendrick, head of forex and digital assets research, anticipates a fresh all-time high for Bitcoin in August, contingent on Joe Biden remaining in the race. ๐Ÿ“ˆ

Kendrick suggests a positive correlation between Bitcoin's price and the electoral prospects of Donald Trump, whom he views as favorable for Bitcoin due to potential regulatory and mining policies.

๐Ÿคท However, if Biden exits, Kendrick speculates a dip to $50,000-$55,000, highlighting August 4 as a pivotal date. Kendrick maintains bullish long-term forecasts, aiming for $150,000 by year-end 2024 and $200,000 by 2025.

๐Ÿ‘€ It's worth noting that after Joe Biden's widely recognized poor debate performance, the odds of him withdrawing from the election race have sharply increased. Betting markets on Polymarket now estimate this possibility at 60%!

โ—๏ธThe Most Popular Scam Method in the Second Quarter โ—๏ธ

๐Ÿ‘€ The most common way cryptocurrency users were scammed was through the honeypot scheme. ๐Ÿฏ๐Ÿงธ In this scheme, investors are lured into buying useless and illiquid assets that cannot be sold. ๐Ÿคท

Scammers create a smart contract and entice victims with promises of high returns, aggressively pushing them to buy. After purchasing the asset, users see the price rising and are in no rush to sell.

However, when they eventually decide to sell, they discover that selling the tokens is impossible. The scammer then withdraws the victims' funds. Even experienced investors often fail to recognize honeypot schemes. ๐Ÿค”

๐Ÿ“‰ Bitcoin continued its decline - overnight, at one point, the cryptocurrency's price dropped below $58,000.

Over the past day, traders' positions worth $262 million have been liquidated. ๐Ÿช“๐Ÿฉธ

๐Ÿ‘€ But here's the interesting part. On June 24, when Bitcoin last dropped below $60,000 (and did not fall below $58,000 at that time), the Fear & Greed Index plummeted to 30, an extremely low value. Currently, the index stands at 44, still in the fear zone, but the market is now more confident, which is somewhat surprising, especially considering the massive movements of Bitcoin, possibly indicating rapid compensation payments to victims of the Mt.Gox hack. ๐Ÿค”

๐Ÿ“Š Glassnode has identified key levels that could propel Bitcoin out of apathy and initiate a new movement.

๐Ÿ” Experts believe that a breakthrough above $64,000 could lead to significant gains for short-term investors, acting as a catalyst for further price increases.

Analysts also highlighted a strong directional price movement amidst historically high volatility compression.

๐Ÿ“ˆ According to their research, conditions for sustaining a bullish market remain, especially if the price holds above the key support level around $50,000. Under these conditions, the market will remain in a phase of enthusiasm, with substantial growth potential contingent upon the stability of these factors. ๐Ÿง

Significant transactions continue to occur in the cryptocurrency world ๐Ÿ’ต

๐Ÿ‘€ An unknown user transferred 76 bitcoins to a new wallet, which had remained untouched since February 2012. More than 12 years ago, they accumulated 118 bitcoins, which were worth about $600 at an exchange rate of around $5 per BTC. ๐Ÿ™€ Today, the 76 coins sent from the wallet are valued at $4.47 million. ๐Ÿ’ฐ

๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช Additionally, the German authorities have moved over 3000 confiscated bitcoins, worth approximately $173 million, from a controlled wallet, according to Arkham. Of these, 1300 BTC ($75.5 million) were sent to the Bitstamp, Coinbase, and Kraken exchanges, while 1700 BTC ($99 million) were transferred to an unmarked external wallet. ๐Ÿง

The wallet still holds over 42,000 bitcoins, valued at around $2.44 billion.

๐Ÿ“‰ Meanwhile, Bitcoin continues its decline and has again fallen below $58,000, reaching $57,200 at one point. ๐Ÿคท

Hong Kong Criminals Demand 660,000 USDT for Childโ€™s Ransom

๐Ÿฅท On July 3rd, a group of individuals orchestrated the kidnapping of a three-year-old boy from a shopping mall in Hong Kong, demanding a ransom of 660,000 USDT. ๐Ÿ™€ Local media reports confirm the incident.

The abduction was captured on surveillance cameras, showing a man leading the child away while covering his mouth with a cloth. ๐Ÿ˜ก

๐Ÿ‘บThe kidnappers then contacted the boy's parents via Telegram, urging them not to call the police โ€œfor the safety of the child.โ€ To secure the boyโ€™s release, the criminals demanded the parents buy USDT โ€œon the over-the-counter marketโ€ and transfer the funds to their wallet.

๐Ÿ•ต๏ธโ€โ™‚๏ธ Police officers from the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau took on the investigation, although it is unclear who informed them about the kidnapping.

๐Ÿ‘ฎโ€โ™‚๏ธOn the morning of July 4th, authorities reported the successful arrest of two suspects and the rescue of the child. The police have not yet released further details.

Mt Gox Wallets Make Bitcoin Moves Ahead of Repayments

๐Ÿ”Ž Arkham Intelligence reports minor transactions from Mt Gox wallets just before the scheduled $9 billion bitcoin repayments. Over the past few hours, three wallets associated with the defunct exchange moved small amounts, with the largest being just $24 worth of bitcoin.

๐Ÿ‘€ One intermediary wallet, previously consolidated with significant funds, sent $24 to Bitbank's hot wallet, with the rest moved to a new wallet. Bitbank is among the five exchanges designated to handle Mt Gox repayments, including Kraken, Bitstamp, SBI VC Trade, and Bitgo.

๐Ÿ’ฐ These repayments won't be directly to bitcoin holders but through these exchanges, which will make the funds available to their customers within up to 90 days.

Given the minor amount transferred, it's unclear if this was a test for larger transactions. The trustee announced repayments would start from early July, but exact dates remain unknown. ๐Ÿง

Mt. Gox announced that on July 5th, it conducted payouts in BTC and BCH to certain creditors!

๐Ÿ“ A document has surfaced online indicating that the payouts were facilitated through specific cryptocurrency exchanges as per the plan.

Payouts to other creditors will occur after:

โ–ช๏ธVerification of the validity of registered accounts and other related matters.

โ–ช๏ธAgreement of creditors to participate in this process.

โ–ช๏ธCompletion of discussions between the trustee and the aforementioned cryptocurrency exchanges regarding the payouts.

โ–ช๏ธConfirmation that the payouts can be executed safely and securely.

We should understand that with Mt. Gox, it's all just beginning ๐Ÿ‘€

โฌ†๏ธ Here's the proportion of what they have already distributed compared to what they still need to distribute.โฌ†๏ธ

But there's a notion that sometimes the anticipation is much scarier than the event itself. Perhaps the payouts themselves won't impact the market as much as the FUD associated with them. ๐Ÿค”
