On June 24, Mt. Gox trustee Nobuaki Kobayashi announced that all necessary steps had been completed to begin issuing repayments to creditors starting in July.

The higher <a href="https://cryptosheadlines.com/bitcoin-tops-weekly-crypto-investment-inflows-btc-eth-xrp/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">inflows suggest that more BTC</a> is being moved to exchanges, likely in preparation for selling. Additionally, the derivatives market has seen a 46.20% increase in volume, indicating heightened activity and interest. However, a 6.66% decrease in open interest suggests some positions are being closed, which could be a sign of profit-taking or loss-cutting.<img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/optimized-uploads/b5f8882d155b429a9bcb68d11160ece2.webp" />Source: IntoTheBlockSupport levels to monitor include $53,000 and $50,000. If <a href="https://cryptosheadlines.com/binance-ceo-cz-explains-falling-bitcoin-and-altcoin-prices/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin falls</a> below these levels, the next major support could be around $48,000. Resistance levels are near $56,000 and $58,000, with a break above these levels potentially triggering a reversal or stabilization.<img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/optimized-uploads/bf74881d921f43009884f0a7465e4551.png" />Important: Please note that this article is only meant to provide information and should not be taken as legal, tax, investment, financial, or any other type of advice.
