What happened before last $1K Bitcoin dump?
Having Bitcoin coming back to live is good to oversee (at the moment it’s trading around $8,300), but we can’t forget an enormous price drop from last week. All internet has speculated with numerous reasons on why it has happened. Some experts think it might be connected to a sluggish start of Bakkt or hashrate drop or even new dollars printed by the Federal Reserve. While our analytics found out something interesting that might have also had a certain impact on Bitcoin’s recent price dump.
On September 24th CryptoMood has recorded a couple of suspicious transactions whose value was beating the records in the crypto world so far. The transactions were conducted between 1576 old frozen and 134 active BitMEX addresses. Significant majority of 1576 addresses have not been used since 2018 up to early 2019 and had, in fact, zeroed out once these transfers were made.
