Following a relatively steady start, Bitcoin suddenly shed more than $200 in 30 minutes on Wednesday. The cause of the sudden plunge is believed to be an unfounded rumor involving Satoshi Nakamoto, the elusive Bitcoin creator.
At the time of this writing, the BTC price is hovering just under $9,450, down 1.5% on the daily. If the support area around $9,350 holds and BTC retraces above the 0.5-0.618 Fibonacci levels, odds are reasonably high that the price could make another attempt at breaking out.
More on these and other big updates from the day in BeInCrypto’s cryptocurrency news roundup for May 20, 2020.
Bitcoin Faces a Minor Crash Following Movement From ‘Ancient’ WalletBitcoin witnessed a minor crash on Wed shortly after WhaleAlert (@whale_alert), which tracks cryptocurrency movements, reported that 50 BTC from a ‘possible #Satoshi owned wallet’ had been moved to an unknown wallet.
Apparently, the bitcoins in the source wallet were mined way back in 2009, within the first 30 days of the cryptocurrency coming into existence. The source wallet itself had been dormant since 2009.
Considering that Satoshi is believed to be still in possession of somewhere around 1 million BTC, some traders didn’t handle these speculative reports very well and resorted to panic-selling that eventually diminished much of the gains from the day in a matter of minutes.
