On Monday, July 29th, Bitcoin declined by 2.12% following reports that the United States government had transferred $2 billion worth of Bitcoin to newly generated digital addresses. After edging upwards slightly on Sunday, Bitcoin closed the previous session at $66,810. Earlier that day, the cryptocurrency had reached an intraday high of $69,916. However, news broke later regarding the sizable government transaction, sending Bitcoin tumbling to an intraday low of $66,429.

It was revealed that the funds had been split evenly between two addresses, with 10,000 BTC valued at approximately $669 million going to one and 19,800 BTC worth $1.333 billion landing in another. Market reaction underscored the importance of assurances previously given by President Donald Trump over the weekend. At the Bitcoin 2024 conference on Saturday, July 27th, Trump committed to maintaining the United States cryptocurrency holdings.
On July 29th, monumental net capital outflows totaling $81.5 million were witnessed in the U.S. Bitcoin Spot ETF market, part of a more extensive trend of $17.5 billion in outflows.

However, Bitcoin displayed promising signs of strength relative to its oscillators on compressed charts, anticipating its course proves tricky amid volatility. A hold of $65,800 would buoy hopes for a test of $67,400 or even $68,100, though whether support withstands depends on market sentiment. Traders and investors should watch how price responds at these levels, as confirmation of their validity may underscore bullish momentum that could last weeks.
