Prediction: Increase

Fundamental Analysis:

The U.S. government recently transferred 10,000 Bitcoin to Coinbase Prime, sparking panic in the crypto market and pushing Bitcoin's price down to approximately $59,000. On April 2, the government moved an additional 31,800 Bitcoin to another wallet, subsequently dispersing these funds across various addresses. According to Arkham Intelligence, the U.S. government still holds over $1 billion in Bitcoin linked to the Silk Road case. In November 2022, authorities arrested James Zhong and confiscated 50,000 Bitcoin tied to the Silk Road. The last known sale from these reserves occurred in March 2023, when 9,861.17 Bitcoin were sold by the U.S. government.

Technical Analysis:

Bitcoin is currently facing challenges in maintaining its position above the $60,000 threshold, indicating strong selling pressure at higher levels. Despite showing potential, Bitcoin's trend is lagging behind gold by approximately three months, suggesting it might take additional time to regain upward momentum. Presently, Bitcoin is in the second phase of a bull market cycle. If historical patterns hold, the upward trend could persist until the third quarter of 2025. Sellers may attempt to push Bitcoin down to the key support level at $55,724, a level likely to attract significant buying interest. Should Bitcoin rebound from $55,724, buyers could attempt to drive the price back above the moving averages. Conversely, a break and close below $55,724 might indicate the beginning of a deeper correction, with potential declines toward $49,000.
