The Bitcoin price plunged 3% in the last 24 hours to trade at $59,553 as of 03:18 a.m. EST on trading volume that dropped 7% to $27 billion.

This comes as an address associated with the defunct crypto exchange Mt. Gox moved 13,265 BTC worth $784 million.

According to Alex Thorn, head of research at Galaxy Digital, the latest batch of on-chain movement of BTC may not translate into substantial selling pressure.

CORRECTION — in a prior tweet i said mt gox tx’d $1.5bn onchain. it was half that — $700m. (sorry, i misread my alerts)
AND, we now think that of the 13,265 BTC moved in this tx, only 1,265 ($74.5m) is meant to distro, w/ 12,000 going to estate fresh cold storage
so, very small

Bitcoin Price Could Still Surge

The Bitcoin price has been in a consolidation phase since August 8, as BTC trades on a sideways pattern within the $61,000 resistance and the $56,665 support zone, according to data from GeckoTerminal.

BTC has now crossed above the 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA), which suggests that Bitcoin’s price could be on an uptrend in the short term.

Moreover, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) also seems to be rebounding from the 50-midline level, currently at 51, as it indicates a growing buying pressure.

If the buying continues, the Bitcoin price could breach the upper boundary of the sideways pattern. The bulls aim to surpass the 200-day SMA at $62,255 as they target $64,000.

However, if the price of Bitcoin breaches the lower boundary of the pattern at $56,645, BTC could plunge further to find support around $54,635.

Meanwhile, as the Bitcoin price aims for a bullish rally, other investors are rushing to buy a new GameFi token on Solana called Mega Dice (DICE) that the prominent YouTube channel 99Bitcoins says could soar 100X after launch.
