The US Department of Justice has received approval to liquidate 69,370 BTC seized in the Silk Road case, causing concern in the crypto market.

DOJ's Plans

The US Department of Justice plans to sell 69,370 bitcoins that were seized in connection to the Silk Road case. This news has stirred unease among market participants, but experts emphasize that the sale is likely to be conducted to minimize market impact.

James Van Straten's Analysis

Market analyst James Van Straten argues that fears of a dramatic impact on Bitcoin's price may be overblown. He noted that any sale is likely to be gradual to reduce market shocks.

Historical Parallels

Van Straten also highlighted the market's ability to absorb large amounts of Bitcoin. A similar situation occurred in 2023 when the German government sold around 50,000 BTC. Even after the sale, 25,000 BTC were retained.

Despite the DOJ's plans to sell BTC, analysts believe the market will adapt and react with minimal long-term effects.

Bitcoin Encounters Significant Resistance Levels Ahead.

chest

Bitcoin is approaching significant resistance levels, with immediate resistance at 91,650 and key levels at 92,000 and 93,000. A close above 93,000 could lead to further increases, potentially testing the 95,000 resistance. However, if Bitcoin fails to rise above the 91,650 resistance zone, it may start another decline, with immediate support near 90,000 and major support at 89,500.
