Mt. Gox Repayment Plan Brings BTC to 125-Day SMA's OpportunityMt. Gox, which once accounted for roughly 70% of the world's bitcoin trading, was hacked multiple times between 2011 and 2014 and thousands of bitcoins went missing, setting off a long process of customers trying to get their crypto or money back. The exchange declared bankruptcy in 2014.
The long-awaited distribution of Mt. Gox customer funds comes after years of delays. However, Rehabilitation Trustee Nobuaki Kobayashi stated that preparations for these repayments are well underway, ensuring all necessary safety measures are in place before the distribution commences.
The correction in BTC price extended on June 24 due to bearish sentiment arising from defunct crypto exchange Mt. Gox’s plan to return over 140,000 BTC to victims of a 2014 hack, with repayments set to begin in July.
More than $9.4 billion worth of Bitcoin is owed to approximately 127,000 creditors of Mt. Gox, who have been waiting for over ten years to recover their funds. Since Bitcoin’s price has risen more than 8,000% since 2014, this could introduce significant selling pressure for BTC. Some of these investors, who may have millions in profits, may decide to cash in at current rates.
Meanwhile, in technical terms BTC just dropped to it's significant 3-months support level that is corresponds also with 125-Day SMA.
BTC has been last seen at 125-day SMA 9 months ago only, in mid-October 2023, near $ 28000 level.
In that time SMA support helped to deliver BTC up roughly +160%, less than in a half-a-year.
Technical graph indicates also on huge oversold area for RSI indicator, that just turned to one of its lowest readings over the past 12 months.
