The secret Trump crypto plan was finally revealed last week, and the Keeta price and KTA crypto project are faltering. Under the GENIUS Act, passed in July, the Treasury is exploring whether DeFi protocols should incorporate built-in identity checks at the smart contract level. This has shaken to the core Keeta crypto, one of 2025’s most talked-about projects, which drew hype for its bold claims: 47,000 TPS, a hybrid DAG+dPoS model, and ambitions to bridge Web2 finance with Web3 DeFi. Fuel poured in when Eric Schmidt, former Google CEO, invested $17m and joined as an advisor, giving Keeta legitimacy beyond the crypto-native world. Community excitement peaked with BitMart’s listing and rumors of tier-1 exchange support. Comparisons to Cardano (ADA) and Hedera (HBAR) framed Keeta as a “serious” contender in the alt L1 race. Now, many are wondering how much room Keeta Crypto has to grow in a crowded L1 environment.

(KTAUSDT) KTA’s bullish story collided with a broader market narrative of the U.S. Treasury’s push for digital IDs. For critics, this raised alarms, especially if lower-cap DeFi-centered projects like Keeta would be affected. If future blockchain infrastructure is tied to government-issued identity, permissionless finance may no longer be truly decentralized. Some investors view crypto projects like Keeta, positioned as fast, scalable, and “compliance-ready,” as caught in the crossfire. As Mamadou Kwidjim Toure of Ubuntu Tribe put it: “Embedding ID at the protocol level erodes financial freedom,” he warned, comparing the trend to “putting cameras in every living room.” That fear may explain why KTA has wobbled under $1 despite its technical achievements.

According to TradingView data: Support: $0.90 is the key base. A breakdown risks sliding into the $0.85 zone. Resistance: $0.97–$1.00 acts as a hard ceiling, with every bounce sold down. Moving Averages: Lean bearish. The 20-day sits beneath the 200-day, a confirmed death cross. Pattern: Price structure fits a textbook falling knife, with sellers pressing every bounce. Unless $0.90 stabilizes quickly, a sharper slide into the $0.80 range looks probable. The bullish case rests on two near-term catalysts: proof of its 47k TPS claims and confirmation of a tier-1 exchange listing. If either land, traders could see another burst of green candles.

Presently, the XRP price is still struggling against bearish market forces that have actually pushed the price down further than expected. This is despite major developments like the end of the 5-year-long Ripple battle with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) over the security status of XRP. Now, with the most important hindrance of the last few years out of the way, can the XRP price still make its way to new all-time highs this cycle? Comparing To Past Cycle Performance Crypto analyst Javon Marks still believes that the XRP price rally is far from over. If anything, the current price point, despite the rally over the last year, could seem like a great price point if XRP does complete the predicted rally, especially as it’s expected to barrel toward triple-digits. The crypto analyst’s prediction is based on the past performance of the XRP price and how it has often rallied to all-time highs. The chart points out the formation of a triangle pattern similar to what was seen back in between 2015 and 2017, and in the end, leading to the current all-time high. As this triangle pattern seems to be playing out similarly, with an initial breakout and stop happening now, it suggests that the trend could play out to the end. If this happens, then the XRP price could be looking at another 200% increase before the rally is over. Such an increase from the current level would put the XRP price over the $9 mark. Marks actually expects the target of $9.63 to be reached, but even then, the chart goes further, suggesting a possible rise above the $20 mark. XRP Price Set To Close Highest Candle In History Despite the market correction, bullishness around the XRP price remains high. Another crypto analyst, EGRAG CRYPTO, pointed out that the XRP price is bullish because it is about the make a major close and it would be the highest candle closure in its history. As EGRAG explains, XRP is about to close a full-body candle on the 2-month timeframe above the $2 mark. This would be the first time in history, and suggests that bullish momentum continues to prop up the altcoin’s price during this time. The analyst also explains that XRP is not going to stop at $4.13 before going into another bear market after almost 4,400 days of perseverance. The major Fibonacci count levels put XRP as high as $8, $13, and ultimately at $27.

In the volatile world of meme coins, a now-battered BONK still has a grip on the crypto community, with its Solana-based ecosystem and large community driving up hype. As of August 2025, BONK’s price continues to fluctuate and struggle against Ethereum’s dominance, yet, with accumulation underway, is BONK emerging as one of the strongest meme coins. Over the past 7 days, BONK has been the most accumulated token across all blockchains, boasting a volume of $120M! This article dives into the current BONK Price prediction analysis and historical trend. Whether you’re an experienced trader or new to crypto, uncover new insights that could help shape your next move. Before moving forward, please get acquainted with my previous BONK article. DISCOVER: 20+ Next Crypto to Explode in 2025 BONK Price Analysis And Predictions For September 2025 (BONKUSD) The first chart we will look at in this BONK Price prediction piece will be on the 1W timeframe. BONK price has been effectively range-bound on the high time frame between 0.0092 and 0.048 ever since pumping in 2023. That is a broad range, but it is good to remember we are looking at a meme-coin chart. It also indicates that a breakout will be volatile, and if it is to the upside, it should increase the price at least 2-3x from the upper boundary on the HTF. One more important indicator here is the Moving Averages, and currently, the price is bouncing off of MA100. RSI is not in the overbought area, which gives space for another push up. However, what really matters at the end is a break to the upside or the downside – that will be the decisive move. DISCOVER: 9+ Best High-Risk, High-Reward Crypto to Buy in 2025 (BONKUSD) Zooming in, on the 1D timeframe, the new BONK market structure is quite visible, with potentially the second Higher Low being formed on the daily. A great sign is the increase of volume when BONK price is moving up, and low volume when it goes down. This demonstrates that buyer interest is stronger. Another key piece of the puzzle here is the recent reclaimation of MA200, and ideally, the price stays above it. And in a final bullish signal, the RSI indicator is now resting on the bottom side, leaving room to go up again. DISCOVER: Best Meme Coin ICOs to Invest in 2025 BONK Price Break in September? Conclusions And Expected Next Move (BONKUSD) The last chart for today is on the 4H timeframe. Here, the BONK price is below all Moving Averages and retesting the underside of MA50. This is the timeframe to watch if one is looking for an entry. I would want to see a Market Structure Break first, followed by a higher low, before I enter a long position. The RSI looks bottom here, which could align with such a move. A reclaim of the moving averages should send the price back up towards the $0.04 level.

As the decision on Grayscale’s spot Cardano (ADA) Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) has been delayed, the altcoin is retesting a key area. Some analysts have suggested that a massive rally is brewing after the price bounced from the range lows. Cardano Drops As Spot ETF Gets Delayed On Tuesday, Cardano started to recover from its start-of-week correction after bouncing from a crucial area. The cryptocurrency has been trading within the $0.84-$0.96 price range since its breakout in early August, reaching a five-month high of $1.02 on August 14. During the recent market pullbacks, ADA has retested the $0.85 area as support multiple times and has been attempting to reclaim the $0.90 resistance, momentarily holding this level over the weekend. However, Monday’s correction, which saw Bitcoin drop to its lowest level in over a month, sent Cardano back to the range lows, briefly losing the $0.84 support before starting to recover. Amid the retracement, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) delayed the deadline for Grayscale’s spot Cardano Exchange-Traded Fund for two months. “The Commission is extending the time period for approving or disapproving the proposed rule change for an additional 60 days. The Commission finds it appropriate to designate a longer period within which to issue an order approving or disapproving the proposed rule change so that it has sufficient time to consider the proposed rule change and the issues raised therein,” the regulatory agency explained in the Monday filing. Accordingly, the SEC has postponed the final decision deadline to October 26, 2025. This follows the Commission’s recent two-month delays of many crypto-based ETFs. Earlier this month, the regulatory agency announced it had pushed back the decision deadline for multiple spot Solana ETFs, including Grayscale’s, to October 16. Similarly, it extended the review deadline of several spot XRP and PENGU ETFs for late October. ADA Breakout Coming Soon? Analyst Crypto Bullet highlighted that Cardano appears to be repeating its playbook from the last cycle. After the 2017-2018 run, ADA accumulated in a multi-year range, forming a double bottom pattern between 2019 and 2020. Following the late 2020 breakout, the cryptocurrency reclaimed the range’s upper boundary before retesting this level as support and starting its massive run toward ADA’s $3.09 all-time high (ATH) in the following months. According to the analyst, Cardano’s performance over this cycle has followed a similar path, with the breakout and retest from the multi-year accumulation occurring between late 2023 and early 2024. During the Q4 2024 rally, the altcoin bounced from the range’s upper boundary, and it’s currently in the re-accumulation period that would precede a massive pump in the coming months, if history repeats. To Crypto Bullet, “one last leg is coming,” with a potential final target between the $1.70-$2.10 area, according to the analyst. Meanwhile, market watcher Sebastian highlighted that ADA’s current performance will “mostly depend on what Bitcoin does,” suggesting that the flagship crypto will likely see a bigger retracement soon. He pointed out that the altcoin has been trading within a bullish flag since the early August breakout, with the upper boundary sitting around the $0.90 area. If it doesn’t reclaim this level, the cryptocurrency would risk a pullback to the lower trendline around $0.80. However, if Cardano breaks out of the bullish formation, it could rally to the $1.20 target. As of this writing, ADA is trading at $0.87, a 4% increase in the daily timeframe.

Trump Media & Technology Group has announced a partnership with Crypto.com to form a new venture designed to accumulate large amounts of the exchange’s native token, CRO, making one of the best altcoin to buy. The company confirmed it will purchase $105 million worth of CRO (685,427,004 tokens) as part of a treasury-style investment strategy. This deal follows the playbook of Strategy (MicroStrategy), which made headlines by accumulating billions in Bitcoin starting in 2020. That move turned its balance sheet into a leveraged bet on crypto, ultimately boosting its valuation as Bitcoin soared. Trump Media is now attempting a similar approach but with CRO, underscoring its push to diversify into digital assets and integrate crypto utility into its social media platform Truth Social. EXPLORE: Top 20 Crypto to Buy in 2025 CRO Price Breaks Higher as Market Looks for the Best Altcoin to Buy The CRO chart shows a surge past $0.22, testing a resistance zone near $0.24 after weeks of steady accumulation.

Ethereum (ETH) recently broke through to a new all-time high above $4,900 before undergoing a correction. As of now, the asset trades at $4,520, reflecting an 8.9% pullback from its peak but still up 7.6% over the past week. The move follows weeks of strong upward momentum that returned ETH to price levels unseen since the 2021 bull cycle. While Ethereum’s long-term trend remains upward, analysts are examining short-term patterns to explain the market’s current volatility. One such perspective comes from XWIN Research Japan, a contributor to CryptoQuant’s QuickTake platform, highlighting how recurring liquidation cycles are shaping ETH’s price action, particularly around the beginning of each week. Ethereum’s “Monday Trap” and the Risks of Excessive Leverage According to the analysis, Ethereum’s leveraged markets show a recurring rhythm tied to liquidation events. Leveraged long positions, bets that the price will continue rising, have often been caught in sudden reversals, forcing liquidations that amplify downward moves. During April and June 2025, ETH saw long liquidations spike beyond 300,000 ETH in a single day as sharp downturns triggered cascading sell-offs. XWIN Research Japan noted a striking weekly pattern: Mondays consistently show the highest liquidation volumes, followed by Sundays and Fridays. In contrast, Saturdays record the lowest, likely due to reduced market activity. This cycle, often referred to as the “Monday Trap,” suggests that traders carrying leveraged positions from the weekend are particularly vulnerable once institutional and retail flows re-enter early in the week. “Carrying weekend optimism into Monday’s higher-volume sessions is risky,” the analyst observed, emphasizing that short-term leverage magnifies losses in predictable ways. For long-term investors, this cycle is less about price direction and more about understanding the risks of excessive leverage in a highly liquid market. Technical Levels and Broader Market Outlook From a technical standpoint, Ethereum’s price correction is being closely monitored. A market analyst known as Crypto Patel recently posted on X that ETH has retraced from $4,957 to $4,400, noting $3,900–$4,000 as a strong support zone. According to Patel, holding this level could open a path toward higher price ranges of $6,000–$8,000. However, if support breaks, downside levels of $3,500 or even $3,200 remain possible. The interaction between leveraged liquidations and key technical support levels may define Ethereum’s trajectory in the coming months. Historical data show that large outflows from exchanges often precede sustained rallies, while inflows typically signal selling pressure. Recent exchange netflow data for ETH has leaned toward outflows, suggesting that investors are withdrawing coins into self-custody, a behavior often associated with long-term confidence rather than immediate selling. At the same time, institutional demand for Ethereum continues to strengthen, bolstered by ongoing discussions about staking integration within regulated financial products such as ETFs.

On-chain data shows exchanges have received heavy Bitcoin inflows over the last couple of weeks, a potential factor behind the asset’s bearish action. Bitcoin Supply On Exchanges Has Been Trending Up Recently In a new post on X, analyst Ali Martinez has talked about the latest trend in the Bitcoin Supply on Exchanges for Bitcoin. The “Supply on Exchanges” here is an on-chain indicator from the analytics firm Santiment that keeps track of the total amount of BTC that’s sitting on the wallets connected to centralized exchanges. When the value of this metric rises, it means the holders are depositing a net number of tokens to these platforms. As one of the main reasons why investors transfer to exchanges is for selling-related purposes, this kind of trend can have a bearish effect on the coin’s value. On the other hand, the indicator going down suggests investors are taking coins off to self-custodial wallets. Such a trend can be a sign that the network is witnessing accumulation, which can naturally be a bullish sign for the cryptocurrency. Now, here is the chart shared by the analyst that shows the trend in the Bitcoin Supply on Exchanges over the past few weeks: As displayed in the above graph, the Bitcoin Supply on Exchanges has been on the way up recently, implying that the investors have been making net inflows. In total, the holders have transferred 20,000 BTC into the wallets of these platforms over the last two weeks. At the current exchange rate, this amount is worth a whopping $2.2 billion. The timing of these deposits has come alongside the cryptocurrency’s price decline, so it’s likely that a lot of these were made with the intention to sell. In the same chart, Martinez has also attached the data of the Exchange Inflow, which shows all inflows going to these platforms, not just net inflows. This metric registered a huge spike during the weekend, after which BTC extended its decline. Interestingly, the Supply on Exchanges didn’t see any increase with this large spike, indicating that there was enough demand for withdrawing the cryptocurrency that balanced out the deposits. Speaking of exchange inflows, the Bitcoin short-term holders (STHs), buyers from the last 155 days, have made a notable amount of loss deposits recently. The STHs are made up of the weak hands of the market, so it’s not surprising to see them capitulate during price declines. In fact, large loss-taking spikes from them help Bitcoin find bottoms as their coins transfer to more resolute entities. BTC Price At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading around $110,500, down over 2.5% in the last week.

Artificial intelligence (AI) juggernaut Nvidia will report its second-quarter earnings after the close of the US session on Wednesday, 27 August. Its ex-post share price actions, earnings results, and guidance are likely to trigger a significant feedback loop back into the broader US stock market and globally as well. The medium- to long-term bullish momentum in global stock markets has been sustained largely by optimism surrounding the transformative potential of emerging AI technologies. Investors anticipate that these innovations could deliver significant productivity gains across industries, even though such benefits have yet to be fully realized or empirically proven. This forward-looking sentiment has, to a large extent, counterbalanced the drag from protectionist measures, particularly the tariff policies enacted by the current US administration, which pose risks to global trade flows and economic growth. Nvidia’s ex-post earnings share performance is pivotal for the Nasdaq 100 and S&P 500 Fig. 1: US mega-cap stocks market capitalisation as of 26 Aug 2025 (Source: MacroMicro) Nvidia’s market capitalization stands at US$4.44 trillion as of Tuesday, 26 August, which makes it the largest among the US mega-cap stocks as well as the most valuable publicly listed company in the world. Its market-cap weight on the Nasdaq 100 is 14%, and a weight of 7% on the S&P 500 (see Fig. 1). According to a news report from Reuters dated Tuesday, 26 August, the US option markets are pricing in about a US$260 billion price swing in Invidia’s market value following the release of its second quarter earnings results today. Nvidia’s options implied a movement of around 6% swing in either direction, which is now below the long-term earnings implied movement of 7.7%, averaged over the last 12 quarters. Hence, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 may swing in either direction by 0.4% and 0.8% respectively, upon the release of Nvidia’s second-quarter earnings results. Let’s now take a deep dive into the potential share price performance of Nvidia from a technical analysis perspective from a medium-term horizon (1 to 3 months). Fig 2: Nvidia medium-term trend as of 27 Aug 2025 (Source: TradingView) Preferred trend bias (1-3 months) Bullish bias with key medium-term pivotal support at 167.90. A clearance above 189.20 may see the next medium-term resistance come in at 198.10/206.35 (upper boundary of medium-term ascending channel and Fibonacci extension cluster) (see Fig. 2). Key elements Since trading sideways in the past four weeks, and a retest on its fresh all-time intraday high of 184.48 on 12 August, the price actions of Nvidia have formed a bullish daily “Hammer” candlestick on 20 August.After the formation of the bullish daily “Hammer” candlestick, the price actions of Nvidia have staged a positive follow-through and rebounded right above its rising 50-day moving average and the lower boundary of the medium-term ascending channel from 7 April 2025 low of 86.62.The daily Chaikin Money Flow indicator has continued to increase steadily since 31 July 2025, which suggests a bullish momentum condition accompanied by a rise in volume.The relative strength ratio chart of Nvidia against the Nasdaq 100 has been trending upwards since 12 May 2025, which indicates a potential outperformance of Nvidia over the Nasdaq 100 in the medium term.Alternative trend bias (1 to 3 months) A breakdown below 167.90 damages the medium-term uptrend phase of Nvidia to kickstart a corrective decline sequence to expose the next medium-term supports at 148.77 and 139.25 (also the 200-day moving average).

Bitcoin (BTC) continues to show signs of weakness after recently setting a new all-time high earlier this month. As of today, the cryptocurrency is trading at $110,595, reflecting a 4.2% decline over the past week and an 11% drop from its peak of $124,000. The correction highlights an ongoing struggle for momentum even as broader market conditions remain uncertain. This decline has drawn the attention of analysts examining key on-chain and trading metrics. One such measure is the Taker Buy Sell Ratio, which is signaling reduced confidence among traders. According to data from CryptoQuant, this ratio has fallen to levels not seen since late 2021, raising questions about whether Bitcoin’s recent highs can be sustained without stronger demand. Bitcoin Taker Buy Sell Ratio Suggests Shift in Market Dynamics CryptoQuant contributor Gaah explained that the 30-day moving average of Bitcoin’s Taker Buy Sell Ratio has dropped to its lowest level since November 2021, a period that coincided with the peak of the previous cycle near $69,000 before a prolonged downturn. The ratio tracks the balance between aggressive buy and sell orders at market prices. A value above 1 reflects stronger buying pressure, while a reading below 1 indicates more active selling. Currently, the ratio sits below its historical average, suggesting that selling activity has consistently outpaced buying in recent weeks. This is notable because it follows closely on the heels of Bitcoin establishing new highs, revealing a divergence between price performance and trader sentiment. Gaah argued that such behavior often signals caution among investors who may be locking in profits or reducing exposure to manage risk. “The similarity to November 2021 should not be overlooked,” the analyst noted. “Even as Bitcoin pushed higher at that time, underlying market sentiment was deteriorating, which eventually preceded a sharp correction.” The current data, Gaah added, indicates that although Bitcoin remains in a broader bullish phase, the imbalance between buyers and sellers could introduce heightened volatility in the weeks ahead. Analyst Sees Mixed Signals in Technical Structure Beyond on-chain metrics, technical analysts are also weighing in on Bitcoin’s current price structure. A market analyst known as Crypto Nova suggested that despite recent weakness, the overall uptrend remains intact. In a post on X, the analyst highlighted that Bitcoin has been forming higher lows since its recovery began from a low of nearly $15,000 in late 2022, thereby maintaining a long-term bullish pattern. Nova pointed to the $50,000–$70,000 range from earlier in the cycle as an example of a level many believed to mark the top, but which ultimately gave way to further gains. The analyst noted that the same uncertainty applies to today’s market, where corrections do not necessarily confirm a cycle peak. “At the very least, BTC should see a bounce from current levels,” Nova said, while also acknowledging that resistance remains strong at higher price zones. The combination of weakening taker ratios and cautious technical outlooks suggests that Bitcoin’s trajectory may be entering a decisive phase. If selling pressure persists, the asset could face deeper corrections, but sustained support near $110,000 may also provide the base for renewed momentum.

XRP price is correcting losses from the $2.820 zone. The price is now trading below $3.050 and remains at risk of more losses in the near term. XRP price is showing bearish signs below the $3.10 resistance. The price is now trading near $3.00 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There is a bullish trend line forming with support at $2.970 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair (data source from Kraken). The pair could continue to decline if it stays below the $3.050 zone. XRP Price Faces Resistance XRP price started a downside correction below $3.050, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The price traded below the $3.00 and $2.95 levels before the bulls appeared. A low was formed at $2.824 and the price is now attempting a fresh increase. There was a move above the $2.92 and $2.95 levels. The price surpassed the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $3.126 swing high to the $2.824 low. The price is now trading near $3.00 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There is also a bullish trend line forming with support at $2.970 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair. On the upside, the price might face resistance near the $3.050 level and the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $3.126 swing high to the $2.824 low. The first major resistance is near the $3.10 level. A clear move above the $3.10 resistance might send the price toward the $3.120 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $3.150 resistance. The next major hurdle for the bulls might be near $3.20. Another Decline? If XRP fails to clear the $3.050 resistance zone, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2.970 level. The next major support is near the $2.920 level. If there is a downside break and a close below the $2.920 level, the price might continue to decline toward $2.840. The next major support sits near the $2.780 zone, below which the price could gain bearish momentum. Technical Indicators Hourly MACD – The MACD for XRP/USD is now losing pace in the bearish zone. Hourly RSI (Relative Strength Index) – The RSI for XRP/USD is now above the 50 level. Major Support Levels – $2.970 and $2.840. Major Resistance Levels – $3.050 and $3.10.

Over the past two weeks, Bitcoin (BTC) has dropped more than 7%, falling from around $117,400 on August 21 to a low of $108,666 earlier today. Despite the bearish slide, some encouraging exchange data suggests improving sentiment. However, analysts warn this could once again be a setup for institutions to trap retail buyers. Bitcoin Sentiment Improves, But Maintain Caution According to a CryptoQuant Quicktake post by contributor BorisD, the Binance vs. Other Exchanges BTC Volume Delta turned positive on August 25, registering $676 million. This indicates that Binance users have shifted decisively into spot buying mode. Notably, this trend has not been observed on other major exchanges. Since Binance is the world’s largest exchange in terms of liquidity and user base, its flows are often considered a reflection of broader market sentiment. At present, retail investors appear to be fueling buying pressure. While this can support demand for BTC, it also creates an opening for institutional investors to drive prices lower, flushing out retail positions before the market resumes an upward move. BorisD highlighted that historically, when Binance users increase spot buying, Bitcoin’s price often declines. On the contrary, when selling pressure rises, BTC tends to recover in price. He explained: This dynamic highlights the clear difference between retail and institutional behavior. Retail traders often act emotionally and position themselves on the wrong side, while institutions strategically engineer liquidity around these flows. In conclusion, the analyst said that although rising spot buying on Binance is encouraging, a positive delta does not always mean a bullish signal. On the contrary, it can expose retail buying pressure than can be exploited as an opportunity by institutions. Will BTC Fall Below $100,000 Price Level? Analysts remain divided on whether Bitcoin can set a new all-time high (ATH) in the near term. Some stress that BTC must hold above the $100,000 level to preserve its overall bullish structure. In a separate analysis, crypto analyst Alphractal remarked that the BTC market seems to be getting ready for its next major move in the coming weeks. Meanwhile, the Bitcoin Bull Score Index is giving signs of fading momentum, increasing risk of further downside. The Bitcoin market is also witnessing early signs of exhaustion, as asset manager BlackRock recently went on a BTC selling-spree, dumping about $500 million of the digital asset. Still, a number of analysts remain optimistic, with some forecasting a potential ATH of as high as $183,000 later this year. At press time, BTC trades at $109,841, down 1.8% in the past 24 hours.

Ethereum price started a fresh decline below the $4,550 zone. ETH is now correcting losses and might aim for a move above the $4,650 zone. Ethereum started a fresh upward move from the $4,320 zone. The price is trading near $4,580 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There was a break above a key bearish trend line with resistance at $4,450 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD (data feed via Kraken). The pair could start another increase unless there is a close below $4,460 in the near term. Ethereum Price Corrects Losses Ethereum price traded to a new all-time high above the $4,950 level before there was a downside correction, unlike Bitcoin. ETH price started a downside correction below the $4,650 and $4,550 levels. The price tested the $4,320 zone. A low was formed at $4,310 and the price started a fresh upward move. There was a break above $4,400 and $4,450. The price surpassed the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $4,956 swing high to the $4,310 low. Besides, there was a break above a key bearish trend line with resistance at $4,450 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. Ethereum price is now trading near $4,580 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. On the upside, the price could face resistance near the $4,630 level and the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $4,956 swing high to the $4,310 low. The next key resistance is near the $4,650 level. The first major resistance is near the $4,720 level. A clear move above the $4,720 resistance might send the price toward the $4,840 resistance. An upside break above the $4,840 resistance might call for more gains in the coming sessions. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $4,950 resistance zone or even $5,000 in the near term. Another Drop In ETH? If Ethereum fails to clear the $4,630 resistance, it could continue to move down. Initial support on the downside is near the $4,500 level. The first major support sits near the $4,450 zone. A clear move below the $4,450 support might push the price toward the $4,320 support. Any more losses might send the price toward the $4,220 support level in the near term. The next key support sits at $4,150. Technical Indicators Hourly MACD – The MACD for ETH/USD is losing momentum in the bearish zone. Hourly RSI – The RSI for ETH/USD is now above the 50 zone.

The Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG) announced on Tuesday that it has partnered with the digital asset platform Crypto.com and the special-purpose acquisition company Yorkville to create the first Cronos (CRO) treasury. New CRO Treasury Project The announcement details a definitive agreement between these entities to form Trump Media Group CRO Strategy, Inc., a dedicated digital asset treasury company aimed at acquiring Crypto.com’s native token. The funding structure for this project comprises $1 billion in CRO tokens—representing approximately 19% of the total market capitalization of CRO at the time of the announcement—alongside $200 million in cash and $220 million from cash-in mandatory exercise warrants. Additionally, the venture will benefit from a substantial $5 billion equity line of credit from an affiliate of Yorkville, positioning the Trump Media Group CRO Strategy as potentially the largest publicly traded CRO treasury company. Devin Nunes, Chairman and CEO of Trump Media, emphasized the growing importance of digital asset treasuries. He stated: Financial markets are becoming increasingly digital every day, and companies of all sizes and sectors are strategically planning for the future by establishing digital asset treasuries anchored by assets that have created a comprehensive value proposition. Trump Media’s Crypto Ambitions Kris Marszalek, Co-Founder and CEO of Crypto.com, highlighted the project’s scale and structure, noting that it would encompass more than the current market capitalization of CRO. Interestingly, he added that the project’s unique characteristics, such as the share lock-ups and a validator strategy for the treasury, set it apart from other digital asset treasury initiatives. This new endeavor, however, is not Trump Media’s first foray into cryptocurrencies. The company had previously announced its significant holdings, including $2 billion in Bitcoin and a planned $300 million allocation for an options-based strategy focused on the leading cryptocurrency. Furthermore, just two weeks ago, it was revealed that Crypto.com will serve as the Bitcoin custodian for President Donald Trump’s media company in its S-1 registration for a Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) if approved by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). As of press time, CRO has capitalized on this momentum, surging 22% toward the $0.20 milestone following the announcement. This positions Crypto.com’s native token as one of the market’s top performers in both the monthly and year-to-date periods, with surges of 40% and 120%, respectively. Compared to its all-time high, CRO is still trading 79% below the $0.96 price. However, positive market momentum and the adoption of the same strategy by more companies could further fuel the rally, bringing it closer to these levels.

On-chain data shows Bitcoin is fast approaching the cost basis of the short-term holders, a retest of which could potentially change the asset’s course. Bitcoin Is Nearing The Short-Term Holder Realized Price As pointed out by CryptoQuant author Axel Adler Jr in a new post on X, Bitcoin could be closing in on the Realized Price of the short-term holders. The Realized Price here refers to an on-chain indicator that measures the cost basis of the average investor or address on the BTC network. When the cryptocurrency’s spot price is trading above this indicator, it means the holders as a whole are sitting on some net unrealized profit. On the other hand, it being under the metric suggests the overall network is underwater. In the context of the current topic, the Realized Price of a specific segment of investors is of focus: the short-term holders (STHs). These are the holders who purchased their BTC over the past 155 days. Here is the chart shared by the analyst that shows the trend in the Bitcoin STH Realized Price over the past year: As displayed in the above graph, the Bitcoin STH Realized Price has gone up recently as investors have participated in trading at the post-rally prices. Today, the average cost basis of the holders who purchased in the past five months sits at $107,000. Earlier, the cryptocurrency was at a comfortable distance above this line, but the latest bearish momentum has meant that its price has come dangerously close to a retest of it. Historically, the STH Realized Price has often acted as an important psychological barrier for Bitcoin. The reason behind the trend lies in the fact that the STH cohort represents the weak hands of the market, who tend to easily react to shifts. Generally, when the market mood is bullish, the STHs react to retests of their cost basis from above by accumulating, believing the ‘dip’ to be worth buying. This can make the level a support line during uptrends. Similarly, in bearish phases, these investors provide resistance by selling into their cost basis, fearing losses. The STH Realized Price isn’t the only support level nearby for Bitcoin right now. As Adler Jr has highlighted in the chart, the 200-day simple moving average (SMA) of the asset’s spot price is currently situated at $100,700. Considering this, a retest of the zone bounded by the STH Realized Price and this technical analysis line, if one occurs, could prove to be a significant one for the cryptocurrency. BTC Price Bitcoin fell to a low of around $108,800 during the past day, but the asset has since seen a small jump back to $109,800.

On August 25, Bitcoin ETF inflows hit $219 million after six straight days of outflows. For investors watching the recent selloff, this bounce felt like the market exhaling. Whether it’s renewed confidence or just institutions buying the dip, something changed. Fidelity, BlackRock, and ARK Step Up The turnaround was led by familiar names. Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund brought in $65.6 million. BlackRock’s iShares fund wasn’t far behind with $63.4 million. ARK’s 21Shares product followed closely with $61.2 million. These three funds drove most of the day’s momentum, suggesting larger players are still active despite recent hesitation. Not All Bitcoin Funds Felt the Love While the top performers had a strong day, the gains weren’t evenly spread. Bitwise brought in $15.2 million, Grayscale saw $7.3 million, and VanEck added $6.3 million. Meanwhile, several other ETF issuers, including Invesco, Valkyrie, WisdomTree, and Franklin Templeton, recorded zero inflows. The bounce may be real, but it wasn’t universal. DISCOVER: 9+ Best High-Risk, High-Reward Crypto to Buy in August2025 From $1.2 Billion Redemptions to a Turn in Sentiment This comeback followed a tough stretch. Between August 15 and 22, Bitcoin ETFs saw about $1.2 billion in outflows. Some of it was profit-taking. Some of it looked like investors stepping back after recent volatility. Either way, this $219 million reversal could mean sentiment is starting to stabilize. BitcoinPriceMarket CapBTC$2.22T24h7d30d1yAll time Ethereum ETFs Double Down on Investor Confidence As Bitcoin ETFs rebounded, Ethereum funds went even harder. In total, Ethereum ETFs saw nearly $444 million in inflows on the same day. BlackRock’s ETHA pulled in $315 million alone, and Fidelity’s FETH added another $87 million. A few smaller funds filled in the rest, but the takeaway was clear. Ethereum is where the real momentum is building right now. DISCOVER: Next 1000X Crypto: 10+ Crypto Tokens That Can Hit 1000x in 2025 A Tale of Two Attitudes This split in flows paints a picture of changing investor interest. Bitcoin ETFs seem to be regaining their footing after a rough patch, but Ethereum is drawing in bigger commitments. Some of that may come down to ETH’s staking yield. Some of it may reflect the growing narrative around Ethereum’s role in infrastructure and utility. Why This Matters These inflow numbers show how institutional behavior can change fast, especially when macro conditions are unstable. A week of outflows doesn’t mean investors are gone. A strong day of inflows doesn’t guarantee a bull run. But it does show that capital is still watching closely—and still willing to move when the opportunity looks right. What to Keep an Eye On The key question now is whether this was a one-day bounce or the start of a new leg higher. Bitcoin ETFs have ground to make up, and Ethereum might be gaining ground faster than expected. With rate policy, global markets, and crypto narratives all in play, September could bring a very different picture.

Bitwise has filed paperwork with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to launch what could be the first spot Chainlink ETF in the country. The idea is to give investors a straightforward, regulated way to gain exposure to LINK, Chainlink’s native token, without needing to handle wallets, private keys, or on-chain transactions. How the ETF Would Function The proposed ETF would track the daily price of LINK based on a Chainlink-to-dollar benchmark. The underlying tokens would be stored with Coinbase Custody Trust Company, and the ETF shares would be traded on a national exchange. The fund is designed to be passively managed, so there won’t be any active trading strategy behind it. The job of the ETF is simply to mirror LINK’s market performance as closely as possible. Source: SEC.gov LINK Gets a Boost After the Filing News of the filing didn’t go unnoticed. LINK’s price jumped about five to six percent within hours of the announcement. It bounced back from the $22 range to land somewhere in the mid-$20s. On-chain activity also picked up, with a few large holders making notable moves around the same time. Whether it was excitement over the filing or just well-timed trades, the momentum was clear. DISCOVER: Best New Cryptocurrencies to Invest in 2025 Why Chainlink Deserves This Attention Chainlink plays an important role in blockchain infrastructure by providing decentralized oracle services. These oracles are used to feed real-world data into smart contracts, making everything from DeFi to insurance to cross-chain bridges actually work. Chainlink has also formed partnerships outside the crypto space, which gives it credibility and reach beyond typical Web3 circles.

Bitwise’s Chainlink filing shows that interest is now expanding to more specialized assets with clear utility. If approved, a Chainlink ETF would allow both institutions and individual investors to access LINK exposure through a structure they already understand and trust. What Comes Next Now that Bitwise has filed its S-1 form, the next step will likely involve a 19b-4 filing and exchange approval. These filings typically move through a review process that can stretch for months. If the ETF gets the green light, it would mark the first time investors in the U.S. could trade a fund tied specifically to Chainlink. With regulatory momentum building and more ETFs being proposed across the crypto space, this filing could land at just the right time. DISCOVER: 20+ Next Crypto to Explode in 2025 Join The 99Bitcoins News Discord Here For The Latest Market Updates Key Takeaways Bitwise has filed for the first U.S.-listed Chainlink ETF, aiming to give investors direct exposure to LINK without dealing with crypto wallets. The ETF would track the LINK-to-USD price and store assets with Coinbase Custody, using a passive structure to mirror Chainlink’s market performance. LINK’s price jumped 5–6% after the filing news, with increased on-chain activity suggesting strong investor interest. Chainlink is seen as a critical piece of blockchain infrastructure, powering oracles used across DeFi, insurance, and cross-chain apps. This filing reflects growing demand for crypto ETFs beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum, offering regulated access to utility-driven tokens like LINK.

Dogecoin is back in the spotlight after a key technical move against Bitcoin hinted at renewed strength. The DOGE/BTC pair reclaimed ground following a liquidity sweep that shook out weak hands earlier this year. Analysts now believe this recovery could set the stage for a major rally. Analysts See Big Upside For DOGE According to analysts, Dogecoin has broken above a former sell-side liquidity zone on the weekly chart. This level, between 140 and 160 sats, had acted as a critical support for months. By July 2025, the pair fell below that zone in what they called a “liquidity hunt,” an event where prices dip to trigger stop orders before reversing upward. According to Trader Tardigrade, the rebound is fueling optimism that DOGE might target higher levels soon. Tardigrade’s chart marks a potential climb toward 0.00000516 BTC, or about 516 sats. Based on current Bitcoin prices, that would translate to roughly $0.576, more than 300% above the liquidity sweep lows. Intermediate checkpoints sit at 280 sats ($0.31) and 360 sats ($0.40) before any run at that top target. Altcoin Season Back In The Conversation This outlook comes as talk of an altcoin season gains momentum. Historically, such periods see altcoins outperform Bitcoin after the leading cryptocurrency consolidates. Tardigrade suggested that Dogecoin’s move could align with this pattern, potentially acting as a trigger for wider market activity. DOGE’s recent rebound is significant because the coin had been under pressure for weeks. The current price stands near $0.21, down 4.41% in the past day and 7% for the month. Despite those short-term losses, technical analysts argue that structure matters more than daily fluctuations. Other Experts Weigh In Ali Martinez offered a different view for the short term. He pointed to a symmetrical triangle forming on the 4-hour chart and expects one more pullback toward $0.22 before a breakout. If the pattern holds, his targets include $0.26, $0.28, and $0.31 in the near term. Other experts see a longer horizon, comparing the current setup to past Dogecoin cycles in 2014, 2017, and 2021. Each major rally followed a similar accumulation phase. They believe the token could rise more than 3x from current levels, even surpassing the $0.7396 all-time high. The market now watches for confirmation. If the breakout signals strengthen and altcoin season returns, Dogecoin could once again become one of the market’s biggest movers. Whether that happens in one surge or through stages, analysts agree that this meme coin’s story isn’t over yet. Featured image from Meta, chart from TradingView

Dogecoin’s near-term uptrend may be running on fumes, with crypto analyst Kevin (Kev Capital TA) warning that a breakdown is already in motion and that the memecoin’s bull case now hinges on a thin band of support around $0.20. In a late-August 25 livestream, Kevin argued that DOGE’s structure has deteriorated into a classic post-rally trap while its fate remains tethered to Bitcoin’s next move. Dogecoin Bulls Cornered “This chart’s not really in control of its own destiny. It’s going to follow what Bitcoin and ETH do, mainly Bitcoin,” he said, adding that the setup turning heads on his screen was a “symmetrical triangle pattern… which is not bullish after an up move. It’s bearish. It’s typically [going to] break down,” a process he said appeared to be underway during the stream. The levels, in his view, are now brutally simple. On the top side, the “major level… remains the same,” with the golden-pocket resistance still parked at $0.285–$0.261. That band has capped impulse attempts since Q1 and, alongside higher Fibonacci checkpoints—0.703 at ~$0.329 and 0.786 at ~$0.413—defines the ceiling that bulls have repeatedly failed to clear with authority. On the downside, Kevin marked $0.195–$0.189 as “a major support zone,” aligning the 0.5 Fib around ~$0.189 with DOGE’s trend MAs. “You’re even in support right now via the 100 EMA and daily 200 EMA,” he noted, while pointing to the 200-day SMA near ~$0.198 and a rising channel that has seen “multiple taps to the high and the low.” Lose that $0.19–$0.20 cluster, he warned, and the path of least resistance shifts quickly lower: “If Dogecoin loses that, very likely [it’s] coming back down to the trend line… anywhere from 16 cents,” with deeper legacy supports around $0.147, $0.137, and “the $0.14–$0.127 zone” described as the “big big support.” In other words, the “crash” risk Kevin is flagging is less about sensational downside targets and more about the mechanical nature of DOGE’s structure if $0.19 gives way: a vacuum to the channel base near $0.16 first, then prior demand shelves if momentum accelerates. Context matters, and Kevin stressed that DOGE beta is overwhelmingly macro-driven inside crypto. When Bitcoin rallies while Bitcoin dominance falls, DOGE can rip—“Dogecoin had a phenomenal day” on a recent Friday, he said, citing a roughly 11–12% surge when BTC rose ~3.5% and dominance slid more than 0.7%. But “if ETH is outperforming and it’s in ETH season, you’re not going to get massive Dogecoin performance,” he cautioned, explaining much of DOGE’s relative lethargy while Ethereum-linked majors and ETH-beta names have led flows for months. Kevin’s tactical roadmap is therefore stark. First, respect the $0.195–$0.189 shelf as the line between a controlled pullback and a disorderly trendline test. Second, accept that the upside will likely remain capped beneath $0.285–$0.261 until Bitcoin resolves higher and dominance sustainably bleeds. Third, avoid the classic liquidity trap of buying emotional spikes into resistance. “Don’t buy altcoins at the highs,” he said. “Allocate into ones that are at major support,” and do it in small, risk-aware increments rather than overextending into weakness. The analyst’s bottom line for Dogecoin is blunt and time-sensitive. The post-rally triangle has already begun to fracture; the $0.19–$0.20 belt is “the lifeline.” Hold it and DOGE can stabilize inside its rising channel while it waits for a friendlier Bitcoin-led tape. Lose it, and “a crash” in Kevin’s definition—an accelerated move toward ~$0.16 and, if pressure persists, the mid-teens support stack—is the next chapter. At press time, DOGE traded at $0.21.

Most Read: WTI Oil Retreats From Near Three-Week Highs as Pessimism Grows Around Russia/Ukraine Deal NVIDIA Corporation's (NASDAQ: NVDA) upcoming financial results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2026, scheduled for release on August 27, 2025, represent more than a standard earnings report; they are a critical litmus test for the entire Artificial Intelligence (AI) investment narrative that has propelled technology markets to new heights. What to Expect? The market enters this earnings season with a wide and telling gap between NVIDIA's official guidance and the Street's expectations, a dynamic that has come to define the company's reporting cycle. For the second quarter (ending July 2025), management guided for revenue of approximately $45.0 billion, plus or minus 2%, which establishes a range of $44.1 billion to $45.9 billion. However, Wall Street consensus has coalesced around a significantly higher figure. The average analyst estimates clusters in the range of $46.0 billion to $46.5 billion in revenue and $1.00 to $1.02 in non-GAAP earnings per share (EPS). These figures imply a staggering year-over-year growth rate of more than 50%, a testament to the unabated demand for AI infrastructure. Source: Google Gemini, Created by Zain Vawda Beyond the official consensus, more bullish "whisper numbers" suggest a potential upside scenario approaching $48 billion in revenue and $1.06 in EPS. Underscoring this sentiment, Bank of America projected a beat at $47 billion, highlighting the immense pressure on NVIDIA to not just meet, but substantially exceed, the formal consensus. This phenomenon is a direct result of NVIDIA's consistent pattern of issuing what appears to be conservative guidance and then delivering significant outperformance. This ritual has conditioned the market to anticipate a substantial beat, making the stock exceptionally sensitive to the magnitude of the outperformance. A revenue beat of "only" $1 billion, which would be extraordinary for any other company, could be perceived as a disappointment, underscoring the high-stakes nature of this report. The options market reflects this tension, with implied volatility suggesting a potential stock price move of 6.5% to 7.5% in the hours following the release. Key Areas to Focus On - The Hyperscaler Engine: AI Spending and NVIDIA's Role Massive AI Spending by Big Tech Big Tech companies like Microsoft, Amazon, Google, and Meta are spending heavily on AI infrastructure, driving demand for NVIDIA's GPUs. By 2025, hyperscaler capital expenditures (capex) are expected to reach $315–$365 billion, with a growing share going to AI systems. Some analysts believe these estimates are too low, predicting capex growth could rise to 25% or more, as seen with Meta's 47% growth guidance. This suggests AI investments will last longer and peak higher than expected. From Training to Inference AI demand is shifting from training large models to inference—using trained models for real-time tasks like predictions and responses. Inference requires a global network of GPUs, making AI spending a continuous need rather than a one-time investment. This shift positions AI infrastructure as essential, like the internet or power grids. However, challenges like energy demands and regulatory scrutiny could slow growth. NVIDIA's Blackwell Platform and Competitive Edge NVIDIA's upcoming Blackwell GPUs and systems, launching in 2025, are in high demand, with production already sold out. The company plans to release new architectures annually, keeping competitors at bay. Beyond hardware, NVIDIA's CUDA software ecosystem is its biggest advantage, creating high switching costs for customers. Integrated Systems Strategy NVIDIA is moving from selling individual GPUs to offering complete systems like the NVL72 racks. This boosts revenue, locks in customers with proprietary tech, and makes it harder for competitors to compete. NVIDIA is no longer just a chipmaker but a full data center solutions provider, further strengthening its market dominance. Forward Outlook Q3 Guidance - The $5-8 Billion Question NVIDIA's Q3 revenue could see a major boost if sales to China resume, with estimates ranging from $5 billion to $8 billion in extra revenue. Bank of America predicts total Q3 revenue could hit $60 billion if shipments to China scale up. Pricing and Margins To counter a 15% revenue-sharing mandate, NVIDIA plans to raise prices on its China-specific Blackwell chips by 18%. While this protects profits, it may slightly lower gross margins from 71% to 69.3%. China Strategy and Risks NVIDIA is developing a new chip, the B30A, to comply with future export rules. However, Chinese customers are increasingly wary of U.S. chips, fearing security risks, and rising costs may push China to speed up its domestic chip development. While NVIDIA’s pricing power shows its dominance, it risks losing long-term market share in China as the country works toward self-sufficiency. Broader Risks Valuation Pressure: NVIDIA’s high stock valuation (40x earnings) leaves no room for mistakes. Even meeting expectations might disappoint investors.Supply Chain Dependence: NVIDIA relies heavily on partners like TSMC for advanced chip production and SK Hynix/Micron for memory. Any disruption could hurt production.Competition: Big Tech companies like Google and Amazon are developing their own chips, and China’s local competitors are growing due to U.S. export restrictions.Networking Growth: NVIDIA’s networking segment is expected to grow 20% annually, but failure to capitalize on this could be a missed opportunity.Energy Concerns: AI data centers consume massive power, which could lead to regulatory or infrastructure challenges in the future. Source: Source: Google Gemini, Created by Zain Vawda In summary, while NVIDIA has strong short-term prospects, long-term risks in China, supply chains, and competition could impact its dominance. Technical Analysis - NVIDIA From a technical standpoint, Nvidia shares are back near their all-time highs following the recent pullback. The pullback bottomed out around the 168.50 handle before rallying back toward its all-time highs. The fact that the share price is hovering near its all time highs adds further jeopardy to the earnings release. The RSI period-14 on the four-hour chart is still some way off from overbought territory which hints at the potential for further upside.

Locksley Resources (ASX: LKY / OTCQB: LKYRF) announced Tuesday it has engaged Washington D.C.-based strategic advisory group GreenMet to support the advancement of its Mojave project in Inyo County, California. On Monday, the Australia-based critical minerals explorer said it had secured $6 million cash from a heavily oversubscribed placement to fund near-term exploration programs focused on antimony and rare earth elements (REE) at Mojave. The project is located 1.4 km from MP Materials’ Mountain Pass mine, the only active rare earths mine in the US, and the company said it offers a strategic opportunity to secure domestic antimony and rare earth supplies. The project includes the Desert antimony prospect, with historic high-grade samples up to 46% antimony, and the El Campo rare earth prospect, where recent rock chip assays returned up to 12.1% total rare earth oxides. Locksley said it is positioning to establish the first domestic antimony mine-to market secure supply chain in the United States, addressing a critical gap where currently 90-95% of refined supply comes from countries outside the US alliance network. Antimony is vital for military applications and ammunition, batteries and semiconductors. There is currently no domestic antimony source, and 90% of world supply is controlled by China and Russia, an untenable narrative when it comes to sourcing minerals crucial to North America’s supply chain. GreenMet will position the Mojave project within key U.S. Government initiatives under the Defense Production Act, Inflation Reduction Act and Department of Energy programs. The firm is led by Drew Horn, a former US official on strategic minerals and energy supply chain development. The company said it has obtained Bureau of Land Management (BLM) approvals for expanded drilling programs the at the Desert antimony mine and El Campo REE prospect, with drilling scheduled to start in September 2025. Locksley also said it has struck an alliance with Houston-based Rice University to pioneer domestic antimony processing and advanced materials research in the United States – a move that the company said could position it at the heart of America’s push to rebuild its antimony supply chain from scratch.

Bitcoin (BTC) tumbled below the critical $110,000 mark on Tuesday after a whale offloaded 24,000 BTC worth approximately $2.7 billion. The massive sell order sparked a sharp market reaction, wiping out $205 billion from crypto market capitalization and triggering over $930 million in liquidations across leveraged positions. This sudden downturn pushed BTC to its lowest levels in nearly two months, with intraday lows near $109,000. Analysts warn the correction could extend further, as technical patterns point to a possible continuation of the Elliott Wave C move toward $105,000. Technical Signals: $105K or $108K in Play Market analysts project that Bitcoin’s rejection at $117,000 over the weekend set the stage for this decline. According to Elliott Wave Theory, Wave C often mirrors Wave A in length, making the $105,000 zone a prime target. This area also coincides with Bitcoin’s Point of Control since April and the anchored VWAP support line, adding weight to the bearish case. However, a strong counter-argument exists. The $107,000–$108,000 range, representing the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of the June-to-August rally, holds significant buying interest. Data from Bookmap shows clustered orders at this level, suggesting it could act as a reversal point if buyers step in aggressively. Invalidation Levels and Market Outlook Despite the bearish tone, analysts caution that a Bitcoin daily close above $110,000 could flip sentiment. Such a move would indicate a possible liquidity grab rather than a full-blown Wave C continuation. A stronger confirmation would come if Bitcoin reclaims $112,000, signaling the downside break was corrective, not impulsive. For now, traders are advised to watch the $108,000 support zone closely. A breakdown could accelerate selling pressure toward $105,000, while a decisive bounce might restore short-term momentum. What to Expect Next for Bitcoin Price Bitcoin’s sharp sell-off gives a clear picture of the delicate balance between whale activity, technical structures, and macroeconomic uncertainty. In the near term, analysts caution that downside risks remain elevated, with $108,000 emerging as the key support level. A failure to hold this zone could pave the way for a deeper correction toward $105,000. On the flip side, a recovery above $110,000, and especially $112,000, would invalidate the bearish Wave C scenario, signaling that the pullback was corrective rather than the start of a larger decline.

Bitcoin is facing a pivotal moment as it consolidates just above the $110K level after slipping below the $112K support yesterday. Bulls are attempting to hold this level to avoid further downside and to spark a recovery rally. However, many analysts remain cautious, pointing out that momentum has weakened since Bitcoin’s all-time high just over a week ago, with the market now retracing more than 10%. Top analyst Axel Adler shared critical insights, highlighting that the nearest strong support lies within the $100K–$107K range. This zone is particularly important as it represents the confluence of two major indicators: the Short-Term Holder (STH) Realized Price and the 200-day simple moving average (SMA). Historically, these overlapping metrics have acted as strong levels of defense during prior bull cycles, helping Bitcoin maintain its long-term uptrend. If Bitcoin loses the $110K level decisively, a test of this deeper support band becomes likely. At the same time, sentiment across the market suggests a delicate balance: while fundamentals such as institutional adoption remain strong, short-term traders are increasingly wary of another correction. The coming days will determine whether Bitcoin can defend its structure or risk a broader retracement. Bitcoin Support Levels: Key Insights According to Adler, Bitcoin’s current struggle around the $110K zone highlights how crucial strong support levels will be in shaping the next market phase. He points out that if BTC fails to hold the $100K–$107K confluent range, the next significant support lies deeper, around the $92K–$93K region. This zone reflects the cost basis of short-term holders who acquired Bitcoin within the past three to six months. Historically, such levels act as “last defense” areas where buyers step in, as these investors tend to be highly sensitive to price swings. Adler stresses that losing the $100K–$107K level would likely trigger a sharp reaction in the market, as it not only aligns with the 200-day SMA but also the Short-Term Holder Realized Price. A break below would shift sentiment, possibly leading to panic selling before stability re-emerges near the $92K–$93K area. Despite these risks, Adler and many other analysts still expect Bitcoin to reclaim momentum in the medium term. They argue that strong fundamentals, ranging from institutional adoption to declining exchange reserves, support the thesis of BTC pushing past all-time highs in the coming months. For now, however, the $100K–$107K range remains the battleground that will decide Bitcoin’s near-term direction. BTC Price Analysis: Key Levels To Hold Bitcoin is trading near $110,213 after a sharp retrace, showing signs of struggle as bulls attempt to stabilize the market. The chart highlights a critical test at the 200-day moving average (200D SMA, red line), currently sitting just below the price and acting as the last major dynamic support. This level has historically provided strong protection during corrections, and losing it could trigger deeper declines. The 50-day (blue) and 100-day (green) SMAs are now turning into resistance levels after being breached in recent sessions. Both indicators cluster in the $111K–$116K range, signaling heavy selling pressure above. The broader structure shows Bitcoin has failed to reclaim the $123K zone, its recent all-time high, and has instead shifted into a consolidation phase marked by lower highs and testing supports. If BTC loses the $110K zone, the next major support lies in the $100K–$107K range, aligning with Adler’s view that this area represents the STH (short-term holder) realized cost basis and the SMA 200D confluence. On the upside, reclaiming $115K will be the first step for a recovery. For now, Bitcoin remains in a vulnerable but critical zone where the next move will dictate whether bulls can regain control.

The crypto market has been rocked by a wave of liquidations totaling nearly $808 million in the past 24 hours, with Bitcoin (BTC) dipping below the critical $110,000 threshold. This mass sell-off erased nearly all gains sparked by Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s dovish comments at Jackson Hole just days earlier, leaving investors questioning whether the dip signals opportunity, or danger. Bitcoin Flash Crash Triggers Massive Liquidations Data from CoinGlass shows that long positions accounted for $696 million of the $112 million liquidated, underscoring how overleveraged bullish traders were caught off guard. Bitcoin alone saw $272 million liquidated, while Ethereum (ETH) followed the list at $262 million. Altcoins including Solana, XRP, and Dogecoin also suffered double-digit losses, dragging the global market cap down by nearly $200 billion to $3.8 trillion. The sudden downturn was intensified by a Bitcoin whale unloading 24,000 BTC worth $2.7 billion, triggering a flash crash that sent shockwaves across exchanges. More than 200,000 traders were liquidated, with the single largest liquidation coming from a $39 million BTC trade on HTX. Are Whales Buying the Dip? Despite the sell-off, blockchain data reveals that several large holders have been scooping up BTC and ETH during the downturn. One whale reportedly acquired 455 BTC ($50M), while another spent nearly $100M USDC to accumulate both Bitcoin and Ethereum. BitMine Immersion, one of the largest ETH holders, also added nearly 5,000 ETH to its reserves, signaling confidence in long-term growth despite short-term volatility. This “buy the dip” behavior suggests whales may see the correction as an entry point, boosting the belief among some analysts that the market is experiencing a healthy reset after weeks of overleveraging. What Comes Next for Bitcoin and Crypto? While Bitcoin trades precariously around $110,000, analysts warn that the next critical support lies at $105,000. A breakdown below this level could accelerate a fall toward the $92,000–$100,000 range. September has also historically been a weak month for crypto, adding further downside risk. Still, record-high futures open interest and institutional flows into ETH signal that sentiment hasn’t turned fully bearish. Whether this is the start of a deeper correction or just a shakeout before the next leg up, one thing is clear: whales are quietly betting on a rebound.

Log in to today's North American session Market wrap for August 26 Markets are still looking for more data: as it could have been expected after the bout of volatility from last Friday, in the middle of a typical, low-volatility and low-volume end-August trading (most of the biggest players take their vacations around now). Particularly after the crazy upside in risk-assets, followed by a lack of more continuation, participants might be leaving markets on pause at least until Thursday. In terms of politics, FED's Lisa Cook, appointed by President Biden in 2022, got fired yesterday evening with the FED Spokesperson appearing to explain their side of things – tldr; nothing too exceptional. FED's Cook had been a relative hawk, Markets should see further reactions depending on who President Trump appoints next. In terms of geopolitics, there hasn't been much advance in Eastern Europe, so Trump started to resume menaces on Russian tariffs. The Financial Times also announced the Security Guarantees for Ukraine which may lead to some announcements regarding to a much-anticipated Zelenskyy-Putin meeting – They were along the guidelines demanded from Putin during the meeting with Trump from the previous Friday, with no direct presence on the battlefield.
