Analysis: Mt.Gox compensation incident will not end Bitcoin's bullish trend

BlockBeats news, on July 16, CryptoQuant founder Ki Young Ju wrote: "Mt.Gox is preparing to distribute Bitcoin to creditors. Large-scale capital outflows indicate that retail investors have not yet received funds. When it happens, CryptoQuant will confirm it through on-chain data. Unlike the German government's sale, Mt.Gox's creditors were not forced to sell, so this is not pure seller liquidity.

Crypto analyst Alex Krüger estimates that this will cause Bitcoin prices to fall by up to 10%, even if an immediate sell-off occurs. I believe this distribution will not end the bullish trend because these bitcoins are expected to respond to market sentiment like existing supply."
