<p>However, concerns remain about what will happen once these creditors receive their BTC and potentially start selling it off. Over this concern, Maria Carola, the CEO of StealthEX a cryptocurrency exchange, made a statement that creditors are opting to hold their currencies due to the potential of BTC and its rapid evolution and significant adoption.&nbsp;</p> 
<p>Despite this significant transfer, BTC is trading near $59,720 and has experienced a price surge of over 1.5% in the last 24 hours. Meanwhile, its trading volume has dropped by 18% during the same period, indicating reduced participation from traders.</p>

<p>If BTC breaks down this consolidation zone and the daily candle closes below the $57,880 level, there is a high possibility it could fall to the $54,000 level or even more.&nbsp;</p> 
<p>As of now, market sentiment is extremely bearish. In addition to the Mt. Gox, gold has also reached its all-time high, which potentially creates a fear in the cryptocurrency landscape.</p>
