The US Government and Economic Indicators Send BTC South
The hunger of investors was put to the test on Monday by industrial sector PMI data from China and the US.
Chinese Caixin Manufacturing PMI dropped from 51.6 to 50.0, a crucial reading. The main PMI and output both suffered from weak international demand. In the US, nothing improved as the ISM Manufacturing PMI dropped from 47.7 to 46.3.
It was also negative to learn that the US government intended to sell 41,491 BTC in four groups.
Approximately 51,680.33 BTC, valued more than $3.4 billion, were confiscated by the US authorities. The money was obtained through illicit behavior on Silk Road, a "darknet" black market website. The Silk Road website only accepted bitcoin as payment.
