After a prolonged period of decline in which the price of Bitcoin fell below $54,000, the cryptocurrency managed to rise again to $60,000.

At the time of writing, BTC was trading at around $60,190, representing aroud 4% daily and 4.5% weekly gain. This jump comes shortly after someone opened fire on US presidential candidate Donald Trump.

The declines in question were caused by sales by the German government and news that the now-defunct Mt.Gox crypto exchange was beginning to pay its obligations to creditors.

Despite today’s positive results, some experts such as Marcus Thielen, founder of 10x Research, believe the rise in value will be short-lived.

He said :

The $55,000 to $56,000 range forms a base in terms of technical analysis. However, given the midterm technical damage, we don’t expect more than a short-term tactical bullish counter-trend rally.”

While many experts believe that Mt. Gox and the German government are the main reasons for Bitcoin’s recent decline, Matrixport experts attributed the drop to Korean investors.

The company’s analysts claim that most of Bitcoin’s decline over the past 30 days, amounting to 13% of the total decline, occurred during Asian trading hours.

The article, based on on-chain data analysis, points out that the recent sharp decline of the $EIGEN token (a 53% plunge on October 10) is not merely a result of market panic, but rather a manifestation of a deeper underlying issue. The real core risk lies in the massive and continuous token unlocks over the next two years, which will exert tremendous selling pressure. The smartest and most profitable traders had already anticipated this and systematically exited their positions weeks before the market crash.
