The price of Bitcoin (BTC) reached its lowest point since February, as approximately $222 million in long Bitcoin positions were liquidated in the past 24 hours.

Other widely traded cryptocurrencies, such as Ether and Solana, also experienced losses of approximately 10% on the day. According to Cointelegraph Markets Pro, ETH has fallen to $2,89820, which is below its critical $3,000 level that it has maintained since mid-May.

Crypto Fear & Greed Index Hits Lowest Since January; Mt. Gox and German Sales Increase Bitcoin Sell Pressure
Additionally, the Crypto Fear & Greed Index, which indicates that the market is experiencing "Fear," has reached its lowest point since January 2023, scoring 29 out of 100 on July 5.
The potential sell pressure anticipated to result from the $8.5 billion in Bitcoin creditor paybacks by the collapsed crypto exchange Mt. Gox has alarmed traders.
On July 5, the exchange made its first significant move since May, transferring 47,229 BTC, approximately $2.6 billion, to new addresses.
Since June 19, Germany's government has sold 7,583 BTC, equivalent to $419.5 million, contributing to the pressure on the Bitcoin sale side. It continues to possess 42,274 BTC, estimated to be worth approximately $2.3 billion.
Markus Thielen, an analyst at 10x Research, predicted that Bitcoin could plummet to as low as $50,000 due to the cryptocurrency's sale pressure on July 4.
