March 11, 2025 – Mt. Gox, the now-defunct crypto exchange, has transferred 11,501 Bitcoin (BTC) worth approximately $905 million to an unidentified wallet, raising speculation about potential market impact. This move follows a 166 BTC transfer to BitGo last Friday, according to data from Arkham Intelligence.
The latest transactions come just days after Mt. Gox moved over $1 billion in Bitcoin to a new wallet labeled “1Mo1n.” That wallet, now masked as the entity’s official storage, transferred $931 million in BTC today, splitting it between an unidentified recipient and the exchange’s warm wallet.
Mt. Gox still holds 35,915 BTC, currently valued at $2.8 billion, making its future movements a crucial market factor.
Bitcoin Price Drop Sparks Concern
The transfer follows Bitcoin’s sharp decline below $77,000, deepening a correction that began earlier this week, as per CoinGecko.
Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX, expects a potential retest of $78,000, warning that if the price drops further, it could trigger a sharp move to $75,000.
“If we get into that range, it will be violent,” Hayes stated, referring to the high Bitcoin options open interest between $70,000 and $75,000.
Ryan Lee, Chief Analyst at Bitget Research, added that if Bitcoin fails to hold $77,000, the next support range could be $70,000–$72,000. However, a bounce from $75,000 could push BTC back into the $80,000–$85,000 range.
“The most likely scenario for this week suggests a mid-week test of $72,000–$75,000, with Bitcoin stabilizing near $83,000 by March 18-19,” Lee noted, pointing to factors like regulatory updates, macroeconomic data, and the upcoming FOMC meeting.
What’s Next for Bitcoin?
With Mt. Gox still holding billions in BTC, further transfers could impact market sentiment. Meanwhile, traders are closely watching support and resistance levels, anticipating potential volatility in the days ahead.
As the market navigates this uncertainty, investors will be keeping an eye on institutional demand, regulatory shifts, and macroeconomic events to gauge Bitcoin’s next major move.
