Bitcoin is entering a fragile stage after days of selling pressure and uncertainty pushed the price into consolidation around the $110,000 level. Bulls are working to defend this key area, but momentum has clearly faded. The market now finds itself in a holding pattern, with investors cautious about whether Bitcoin will stabilize or break lower in the sessions ahead.

Historically, retracements within ongoing bull markets often serve as resets rather than trend reversals, but the pressure on Bitcoin has nonetheless sparked debate about its short-term direction. Holding above current levels is becoming increasingly important, as failure to do so could shift sentiment further in favor of the bears. Top analyst Axel Adler described the current environment as a neutral-bearish base, meaning flows and price action lack the conviction needed for a decisive bullish push. Until stronger demand emerges, Bitcoin’s recovery is likely to be limited to technical bounces rather than sustained rallies. Bitcoin Stuck In Neutral-Bearish Base According to top analyst Axel Adler, Bitcoin’s current structure remains fragile as both price and derivative flows sit below 50, signaling weakness across critical indicators. Adler emphasizes that while short-term rebounds are possible, the market lacks the conviction required for a sustained uptrend. With taker flows still negative and weak, any recovery from present levels is likely to be a mean-reversion bounce toward $113K, aligning with the Fair Value and mid-30-day range, rather than the beginning of a new bullish phase. This environment suggests that risk appetite remains absent, leaving the market vulnerable to further tests of lower boundaries. Adler notes that unless flows shift meaningfully, price rallies will likely remain capped and quickly fade as selling pressure reemerges. The nearest bullish setup would require stabilization of flows that could push BTC toward the $113K–$115K region, a technical recovery zone that would ease immediate bearish sentiment but still fall short of confirming a regime shift. For a true change in market structure, Adler points to two key thresholds: Flow >55 and Price Index >50. Only when both conditions are met will Bitcoin have the foundation for a stronger, trend-confirming rally. Until then, the market faces an elevated risk of repeated retests of support zones, with traders closely monitoring whether BTC can hold above $110K or slip further into correction territory.

The chart highlights how BTC has bounced from recent lows near $108K but still struggles to reclaim higher momentum. The 50-day moving average now acts as resistance, capping the upside attempts and reflecting waning bullish strength. Despite the pullback from the $123K all-time high, the structure remains intact above the 200-day moving average near $101K, which has consistently served as a long-term support. The current price action shows a market caught in balance: bulls are defending demand, but bears maintain pressure as rallies face rejection around the $112K level. Related Reading: Ethereum Demand Spikes As Whales Add 260K ETH In 24 Hours The flat trajectory of the 100-day moving average reinforces the consolidation phase, suggesting that a decisive breakout is needed to confirm direction. If Bitcoin closes above $113K in the short term, it could set up a retest of $118K, the mid-range level that has acted as both support and resistance. Failure to hold the $110K level could expose BTC to repeated tests of $108K and, ultimately, the psychological $105K zone. For now, Bitcoin’s fate hinges on whether buyers can stabilize flows and absorb ongoing selling pressure. Featured image from Dall-E, chart from TradingView

Over the last few weeks, both Bitcoin and Ethereum have seen an interesting wave of price action with high volatility. Naturally, this volatility has spurred a wave of trading as crypto traders see this as a time of opportunity due to the fluctuations. The result of this has been a rapid rise in the open interest of both Bitcoin and Ethereum during this time. While this, on its own, is significant, looking at the previous performances, it could suggest where the Bitcoin and Ethereum prices are headed next. Bitcoin And Ethereum Open Interest Remain Very High Toward the end of the month of August, the Ethereum price began rising rapidly, fueled by large buys from Ethereum treasury companies such as Bitmine and SharpLink. This push would eventually see the Ethereum price reach a brand new all-time high, beating out its $4,800 peak from 2021 after climbing above $4,950. Related Reading: Shiba Inu Descending Channel Breakout Shows Where Price Is Headed Next In the same vein, the open interest had risen rapidly, and this metric, too, rose to new all-time highs. By August 23, amid the frenzy, the Ethereum open interest climbed above $70 billion for the first time in history, marking a major milestone. Since then, the Ethereum open interest has retraced. But it is still sitting above $55 billion at the time of this writing, suggesting that interest in the altcoin is still high. While the Bitcoin open interest did not hit new peaks in the month of August like Ethereum, it also remained at very high levels. Data from Coinglass shows that the Bitcoin open interest is still averaging at a high $80 billion, still close to the $86 billion all-time high that was recorded back in July. What The Open Interest At ATHs Could Mean Looking at previous performances when the Bitcoin and Ethereum open interest have been at all-time high levels, there is usually a period of consolidation that follows, especially as price retraces. This was seen after the first all-time highs of the year back in February, which was followed by a few months of consolidation. Related Reading: Ethereum price Crash To $4,081: Why The Bears Are In Charge Then again, the peaks in June were followed by short consolidations, which ended in July. And then, another consolidation before the open interest started to rebound in August. This shows that the period of consolidation is not always long, but at the end of it is always another rise in open interest that coincides with a rise in price. From here, if the Bitcoin and Ethereum open interest were to hit new peaks, it would probably mean that their prices are ready to hit new highs as well. Following the trend of the last few months, the open interest could start to pick up again toward the end of September, propelled forward by price recoveries.

On-chain data shows the size of the average Bitcoin whale has dropped to the lowest level since 2018, a sign that may be bearish for BTC’s price. Average Bitcoin Whale Is Holding Just 488 BTC Now In a new post on X, on-chain analytics firm Glassnode has discussed about the latest trend in the average supply held by Bitcoin whales. Glassnode defines “whales” as entities holding between 100 and 10,000 BTC. At the current exchange rate, the range’s lower bound converts to $11.2 million and upper one to $1.1 billion. Related Reading: Bitcoin In Trouble? Exchange Reserve Spikes To Highest In Months Thus, the only investors who would qualify for the cohort would be the big-money traders. These holders can carry some degree of influence in the market, so their behavior can be worth keeping an eye on. The behavior of the cohort as usually gauged from their total holdings, however, can provide a skewed picture about the sentiment among them, as the investors toward the larger end of the range have more of a weightage in it. One way to pinpoint the behavior of the average whale is by looking at the size of the holdings of the average member of the group. Below is the chart shared by Glassnode that shows the trend in this metric for Bitcoin over the last few years. As is visible in the graph, the average Bitcoin supply per whale peaked back in early 2022, but switched to a decline as the bear market took over the sector. This suggests the whales reduced their exposure to the cryptocurrency during this period. With 2023 starting a recovery run for BTC, the average whale started loading up again, albeit at a slower pace than in the previous cycle. This accumulation continued until mid-2024, at which point it once more witnessed a reversal. Interestingly, instead of backing the rallies that have occurred between then and now, the whales have only accelerated their selling alongside them. The late 2024 run, especially, saw these humongous investors shed their holdings at a rapid pace.

In another X post, the analytics firm has also talked about how Ethereum whales have been doing recently. In particular, Glassnode has shared the trend in the holdings of the “mega whales,” holders carrying more than 10,000 ETH ($44.6 million). As displayed in the above chart, the Ethereum mega whales participated in buying during the recent price surge, but their accumulation has now stopped with the 30-day change in their balance dropping to zero. BTC Price At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading around $111,900, up more than 1% over the past day. Featured image from Dall-E, Glassnode.com, chart from TradingView.com

American Bitcoin, a new cryptocurrency mining venture supported by Eric and Donald Trump Jr., made its debut on Nasdaq on Wednesday under the ticker symbol “ABTC.”  This launch marks the Trump family’s second digital asset debut in less than a week, following World Liberty Financial’s WLFI token launch on crypto exchanges on Monday.  American Bitcoin Shares Jump 90% In a press release, Eric Trump, co-founder and chief strategy officer of American Bitcoin, described the listing as a “historic milestone,” emphasizing the company’s mission to integrate Bitcoin into the core of US capital markets.  In line with President Donald Trump’s pro-crypto agenda, which has created a more accommodating environment for the growth of digital assets in the country, Eric expressed ambition for the US to lead the global Bitcoin economy.  Related Reading: One Major Reason Bitcoin Hasn’t Reached $150,000, According To Trump’s Crypto Advisor Initially launched as a subsidiary of Hut 8, a publicly traded Bitcoin mining firm, American Bitcoin began trading at $6.90 per share following an all-stock merger with Gryphon Digital Mining.  The ABTC stock experienced a remarkable surge, rising as much as 90% toward its current record of $14.52 in its first hour of trading, although it later settled to over a 40% increase, trading at $9.21 per share.  Asher Genoot, executive chair of American Bitcoin and CEO of Hut 8, stated that the company aims to foster rapid growth in Bitcoin shares by leveraging its mining capabilities and Hut 8’s robust energy and digital infrastructure. Trump Family Expands Crypto Portfolio The listing of American Bitcoin is one of several similar moves by the Trump family in the digital asset space, following the approval of trading WLFI in August and its subsequent debut on exchanges such as Binance.  The WLFI token experienced typical market reactions, spiking initially toward a new record of $0.47 before stabilizing close to its listing price between $0.20 and $0.22 for the last few days.  According to CoinGecko data, World Liberty Financial has quickly climbed to become the 35th largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, reaching a valuation of nearly $6 billion in record time.  Related Reading: WLFI: The Next Cult Coin? Analyst Outlines Potential For Explosive Growth Current valuations suggest that their holdings in World Liberty Financial tokens could be worth around $5 billion, positioning them as one of the family’s most valuable assets. The Trump family’s financial interests in the cryptocurrency realm have garnered considerable attention, encompassing a range of projects from World Liberty tokens to a memecoin associated with President Trump himself launched in January.  Eric Trump recently remarked that crypto has been “probably the most rewarding venture of my entire life,” reflecting his enthusiasm for the digital currency landscape. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $112,159, marking a modest 1% increase within the last 24 hours. Compared to the cryptocurrency’s record price of $124,100, the current price is 9% lower.  Featured image from DALL-E, chart from TradingView.com 

Bitcoin is once again at the center of market turbulence, trading just above the $110,000 level, which many analysts view as a critical zone of demand. While BTC is holding this support for now, volatility has surged as bears increase pressure and investor sentiment grows cautious. The market is closely watching whether Bitcoin can maintain its footing or if a deeper correction will unfold. Related Reading: Ethereum Demand Spikes As Whales Add 260K ETH In 24 Hours One of the biggest factors fueling this uncertainty is the recent capital rotation from Bitcoin to Ethereum, a shift that has rattled Bitcoin loyalists. Ethereum’s resilience and whale accumulation have put BTC under additional scrutiny, raising fears that Bitcoin’s dominance in the market could weaken if the trend continues. Adding to the caution, top analyst Axel Adler highlighted fresh data showing a surge in BTC+ETH inflows to exchanges following Bitcoin’s all-time high of $124,000. At the same time, stablecoin inflows lagged significantly, signaling that the recent increase in supply on exchanges was not met with fresh liquidity. This imbalance often points to profit-taking and excess selling pressure. Bitcoin Inflow Ratio Signals Bearish Setup According to Adler, the recent weakness in Bitcoin is strongly linked to exchange flow dynamics. He points to the Inflow Ratio (BTC+ETH ÷ Stablecoins), a key indicator that measures the balance between major crypto inflows and stablecoin liquidity. Recently, this ratio spiked to 4.0×, coinciding with a wave of selling pressure and a noticeable price pullback. Adler explains this as a classic case of excess supply overwhelming fresh liquidity, a dynamic that has historically placed downward pressure on Bitcoin. Since then, the ratio has eased to around 2.7× on a 7-day moving average, and inflow volumes of majors have cooled to approximately $5 billion per day. While this marks an improvement from the extremes, it still signals that inflows of BTC and ETH are relatively high compared to the stablecoin capital available to absorb them. Simply put, there is not enough new demand flowing in to support sustained upward movement at current levels. Adler’s assessment suggests that Bitcoin remains in a bearish setup, with limited buying liquidity keeping rallies capped. However, he also cautions that crypto markets are highly dynamic, and trends can shift quickly. A sudden resurgence in stablecoin inflows or renewed institutional demand could reverse the current imbalance, sparking another bullish leg. For now, though, the data leans bearish, highlighting the importance of monitoring exchange flows as BTC navigates this critical phase. Related Reading: Bitcoin Mirrors Historical Pullback Ranges – Healthy Correction Or Trouble Ahead? BTC Testing Pivotal Resistance Level Bitcoin is currently trading near $111,192, showing a modest recovery after last week’s volatility that pushed the price below $108,000. The chart highlights Bitcoin’s attempt to reclaim momentum, with the price hovering just above the 100-day SMA (green line at ~$111,737). This moving average now acts as immediate resistance, and BTC needs a clear breakout above it to signal strength. On the upside, the 50-day SMA (~$115,638) represents the next major barrier. If bulls manage to push above this level, it would open the path to retesting the local peak around $123,217, marked as a key resistance line. However, Bitcoin’s inability to sustain gains above the 100-day SMA in recent sessions suggests that sellers remain active. Related Reading: Ethereum Demand Stays Strong As Exchange Reserves Keep Falling – Details Support lies around $108,000, with stronger demand likely at the 200-day SMA (~$101,460). A breakdown below $108,000 could expose BTC to deeper losses, potentially dragging the price toward the psychological $100,000 level. Bitcoin remains in a consolidation zone, caught between major moving averages. A decisive move above $115,000 would tilt momentum bullish again, while a failure to hold current levels risks renewed selling pressure. Bulls must defend $108,000 to prevent further downside.

Bitcoin is once again testing a critical support zone, and speculation is whether September’s weakness will mark a turning point. With historical patterns often showing September dips followed by strong Q4 rallies, the market now faces a pivotal moment that could decide the next major move. Bitcoin Returns To The Bull Market Support Band In his latest update on X, Benjamin Cowen highlighted that Bitcoin recently touched the bull market support band just a few days before September officially began. This level has historically acted as an important pivot zone, where the bulls often attempt to hold the line and defend broader market structure. Maintaining strength above this band could play a vital role in preserving bullish sentiment. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Recovery Hopes Rise – Can Bulls Push It Past Resistance? He explained further that August established a local high, suggesting that September may be shaping up to form a local low. In his analysis, this type of alternating cycle between highs and lows is common in Bitcoin’s price behavior, especially during transitional phases of the market. Benjamin Cowen also pointed out that the beginning of September already saw Bitcoin trading lower than any level observed in August. This underlines how quickly market conditions can shift, with price action flipping from bullish in late summer to more cautious as the new month begins.  The analyst stated that the best-case scenario would be if Bitcoin’s monthly low had already been established on September 1st. If that is the case, bulls could regain confidence sooner rather than later, stabilizing price action around the bull market support band. Such development would enable a healthier market structure and potentially lay the groundwork for another leg higher as the month progresses. Historical Cycles Suggest Q4 Upside If Support Holds In his analysis, Benjamin Cowen explained that the ideal scenario for Bitcoin would be to hold steady at the 20-week Simple Moving Average (SMA) throughout September. He noted that in previous bull cycles, including 2013, 2017, 2020, and 2021, Bitcoin successfully maintained this level before climbing to new highs in Q4, making it a key historical pattern to watch. Related Reading: Bitcoin In Trouble? Exchange Reserve Spikes To Highest In Months Cowen further emphasized that if Bitcoin fails to sustain the 20W SMA, attention should shift to the 50W SMA, which has consistently served as a strong foundation during the ongoing bull market. This level remains a crucial safety net for maintaining broader bullish momentum, even if short-term weakness emerges. As of September 3, 2025, Bitcoin is trading around $111,053, up 0.83% over the past 24 hours, with an intraday high of $111,716 and a low of $108,505, showing moderate volatility. The 24-hour trading volume is approximately $73.2 billion, reflecting healthy market activity, while Bitcoin’s market capitalization stands at about $2.22 trillion, solidifying its position as the leading cryptocurrency.

Bitcoin (BTC) has seen a 4% bounce from the lows to retest a crucial resistance level, which could determine whether a breakout or a breakdown is next. Meanwhile, an analyst suggested that BTC’s final leg up and cycle peak could come in the coming weeks. Related Reading: No Ethereum Rally Until Q4? Analyst Eyes Choppy September Before New Highs Bitcoin Key Attempts Key Level Reclaim Following its recent drop, Bitcoin is now attempting to break out of its local range high and reclaim the $111,000 zone as support. As September started, the flagship crypto retested the $107,000 range low before bouncing 4% to the local upper boundary. Analyst Ali Martinez noted that BTC has been trading in a descending channel on the 4-hour chart for the past two weeks. The cryptocurrency retested the pattern’s upper boundary, around $110,700, breaking above this area on Tuesday morning. To the market watcher, Bitcoin needs to close above $110,700 for a meaningful rebound, as a confirmed breakout above this level could set the stage for a retest of $113,500. On the contrary, failing to reclaim this resistance will likely reinforce bearish momentum and deepen the correction, the analyst warned, adding that “the SuperTrend indicator also aligns with this zone, maintaining a bearish posture at $110,700.” Meanwhile, Sjuul from AltCryptoGems suggested that Bitcoin is attempting to replicate the same playbook of the recent significant pumps. According to the chart, the flagship crypto has entered a corrective period following a new all-time high (ATH), displaying a falling wedge pattern before breaking out again. Based on this, the $108,000 level is a key area for the bulls as it serves as a crucial bounce point. Holding this level would “confirm BTC’s strength on the higher timeframe, showcasing a formidable price action with resistance flipping and retesting.” To Sjuul, Bitcoin is at a “critical juncture to keep playing the same tune,” and failing to maintain it would increase the risks of a bigger correction to the $98,000 level, where the Weekly EMA50 sits. BTC To Peak In Coming Weeks? Rekt Capital gave a higher timeframe perspective for the flagship crypto, highlighting that BTC has shown mixed signals after failing to close the week above the $109,000 level. This level previously served as the final weekly resistance before new ATHs, which suggests it could be the first technical signal of a bearish confirmation. Nonetheless, he asserted that while the weekly timeframe is “showing early signs of weakness, the Monthly chart tells a different story.” Notably, Bitcoin has held its Macro Range of $107,200-$116,000. Additionally, monthly candles have produced long downside wicks throughout the cycle, with deep retests often occurring before trend continuation. This suggests that the broader market structure remains intact despite weekly pressure. As this week progresses, the cryptocurrency could see heightened volatility, tapping the $104,000 on a wick. He stated that “If the Weekly timeframe confirms rejection from $107k and progresses bearish confirmation, that could be the trigger for such a Monthly wick.” In this case, “then the goal for price would be to then resynchronize with the Monthly Range before the Monthly Close is in” to maintain the macro structure and set the stage for one last leg up. Related Reading: Ethereum Demand Spikes As Whales Add 260K ETH In 24 Hours The analyst also noted that the previous bull market lasted about 152 weeks, while this one is already 145 weeks into it. This could signal that there are only around seven weeks left if the current bull market were to repeat its previous performance. “If Bitcoin is going to peak in its Bull Market in mid-September/mid-October 2025 as per historical Halving cycles… That’s either two weeks away or 1.5 months away,” the analyst concluded.

Bitcoin (BTC) has experienced a significant correction this week, retracing over 10% from its all-time highs above $124,000. Despite this downturn, many remain optimistic about the cryptocurrency’s potential for further gains in the coming months.  David Bailey, CEO of Bitcoin Magazine and a crypto advisor to President Donald Trump, has attributed the recent price fluctuations to the activities of large investors, commonly referred to as “whales.” Bitcoin Sell-Off Triggered By Whales? In a recent social media post on X (formerly known as Twitter), Bailey pointed out that two prominent whales are responsible for the recent sell-off, having reportedly liquidated 80,000 and 120,000 BTC, respectively.  Interestingly, NewsBTC reported last week that despite record inflows into Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and growing interest from public companies, Binance may be one of these whales orchestrating the sell-off.  DeFitracer suggested that Binance might be utilizing a market maker, Wintermute, to strategically execute trades, thereby creating a bearish trend that retail investors might follow. This strategy could allow Binance to profit from liquidations in the futures market. Related Reading: Ethereum Price Stuck In ‘Loading Phase’, What This Means For The Campaign For $5,000 Adding another layer to the current market dynamics, data analysis firm Arkham recently disclosed that a whale with over $5 billion in Bitcoin has begun purchasing Ethereum (ETH), moving $1.1 billion worth of BTC to a new wallet to facilitate these transactions. Although Bailey did not disclose the identities of the whales involved, he indicated that one is already “down,” while the other is halfway to a similar fate.  This could suggest that once these sell-offs conclude, the Bitcoin price could regain its momentum, potentially reaching Bailey’s target of $150,000 per coin, which would signify a substantial 36% increase from current price levels. Public Companies Now Hold Over 6% Of BTC’s Supply In addition to the alleged whale activity that has suppressed Bitcoin’s uptrend, the growing involvement of publicly traded companies in the cryptocurrency market is impacting its price stability. According to JPMorgan global market strategist Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou, corporate treasuries now hold over 6% of Bitcoin’s total supply, acting as a form of private sector quantitative easing for the crypto markets.  The analyst noted that the surge in Bitcoin purchases by corporate treasuries has led to a decrease in the cryptocurrency’s volatility, which could ultimately make the asset more appealing to investors. Related Reading: WLFI Slides 15% After Launch As Trump Token Team Eyes Burn Strategy Panigirtzoglou highlighted that in July alone, public companies like Strategy (previously MicroStrategy), accounted for nearly two-thirds of Bitcoin purchases among major buyers, including exchange-traded funds and government entities.  He suggests that this influx of institutional investment may reshape the landscape of Bitcoin ownership and trading, as reduced volatility can enhance BTC’s attractiveness as an investment alternative, particularly in comparison to gold. As of this writing, the leading cryptocurrency is trading at $110,900. This represents a slight 2% surge in the last 24 hours and a 90% increase year-to-date.

On-chain data shows the Bitcoin Exchange Reserve has witnessed a spike recently, a sign that could be bearish for the asset’s price. Bitcoin Exchange Reserve Has Hit A Multi-Month High In a new post on X, CryptoQuant community analyst Maartunn has talked about the latest trend in the Exchange Reserve of Bitcoin. The “Exchange Reserve” refers to an on-chain indicator that keeps track of the total amount of the cryptocurrency that is sitting on the wallets attached to centralized exchanges. When the value of the metric goes up, it means the investors are making net deposits of the asset to these platforms. Generally, one of the main reasons why holders would transfer their coins into the custody of exchanges is for selling-related purposes, so this kind of trend can have bearish consequences for the BTC price. Related Reading: Toncoin (TON) Heading For A 50% Price Move, Analyst Explains Why On the other hand, the indicator witnessing a decline suggests investors are taking out a net number of tokens from the exchanges. Such a trend can be a sign that the holders want to hold their BTC into the long term, which can naturally be bullish for the asset’s value. Now, here is a chart that shows the trend in the Bitcoin Exchange Reserve over the history of the cryptocurrency: As is visible in the above graph, the Bitcoin Exchange Reserve peaked in late 2024 and saw a reversal to a downtrend, indicating that investors switched to net withdrawals. The decline in the metric was persistent, but very recently, another turnaround has finally occurred, with the indicator shooting up instead. Its value has now reached the 3.383 million BTC mark, which is the highest that it has been in a few months. “This signals a shift in trader behavior,” notes Maartunn. “More coins moving to exchanges often precedes increased selling pressure.” The deposit spree from the investors has come alongside a period of bearish action in the Bitcoin price. It now remains to be seen whether these exchange inflows would extend the drawdown. Related Reading: Bitcoin Finds Support At Short-Term Holder Cost Basis, But For How Long? Speaking of the price decline, on-chain analytics firm Glassnode has discussed about how this plunge compares against past ones in terms of the BTC supply in loss. As displayed in the chart, only 9% of the Bitcoin supply is in loss following the price drawdown. The maximum loss among these underwater coins is also currently just 10%. As Glassnode explains, In contrast, the local bottom of this cycle saw >25% of supply at up to 23% losses, and global bear markets have reached >50% supply with up to 78% losses. This dip remains relatively shallow. BTC Price At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading around $111,200, up 2% over the last 24 hours.

Bitcoin price is attempting a recovery wave above $110,000. BTC is now rising and might gain pace if it clears the $112,000 resistance level. Bitcoin started a recovery wave above the $110,000 zone. The price is trading above $111,000 and the 100 hourly Simple moving average. There is a short-term rising channel forming with support at $110,500 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair (data feed from Kraken). The pair might start another decline if it stays below the $112,000 zone. Bitcoin Price Starts Recovery Bitcoin price started a fresh recovery wave above the $108,500 zone. BTC was able to climb above the $108,800 and $110,000 resistance levels. The price cleared the 50% Fib retracement level of the key drop from the $113,457 swing high to the $107,352 low. The upward move was such that the price spiked above the $111,200 level. Besides, there is a short-term rising channel forming with support at $110,500 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair. However, the bears are still active near $111,500. Bitcoin is now trading above $110,000 and the 100 hourly Simple moving average. Immediate resistance on the upside is near the $111,500 level. The first key resistance is near the $112,000 level or the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the key drop from the $113,457 swing high to the $107,352 low. The next resistance could be $112,500. A close above the $112,500 resistance might send the price further higher. In the stated case, the price could rise and test the $113,450 resistance level.

Hourly RSI (Relative Strength Index) – The RSI for BTC/USD is now above the 50 level. Major Support Levels – $110,400, followed by $109,500. Major Resistance Levels – $111,500 and $112,500.

In a notable achievement, Metaplanet has made headlines by significantly expanding its Bitcoin treasury, reaching a total of 20,000 BTC. This aggressive accumulation strategy solidifies its position as one of the world’s leading corporate Bitcoin holders. Strengthening Its Long-Term Bitcoin Treasury Strategy Metaplanet, a publicly traded company based in Japan, has successfully transitioned from a hotel operator to a major Bitcoin powerhouse. The company recently purchased 1,009 BTC, which increased its total holdings to 20,000 BTC. This acquisition cements its position as the sixth-largest corporate Bitcoin holder, surpassing Riot Platforms.  Related Reading: Bitcoin Treasury Race Heats Up As Dutch Firm Shoots For $23-M Launch A crypto-oriented social media influencer known as Next100XGEMS has stated on X that what makes this achievement more significant is that the investment reflects more than just a financial play. However, it represents a fundamental shift in its core business strategy.  By dedicating a significant portion of its treasury to Bitcoin, Metaplanet demonstrates a profound level of institutional trust in the digital asset as a long-term strategic reserve, which marks a new era of institutional adoption. Metaplanet’s 21 million plan is a bold, long-term strategy to combat the decline in the value of the Japanese yen and rising inflation. The company aims to acquire a significant portion of the total 21 million Bitcoin supply, positioning itself as a hedge against currency debasement. This strategic use of BTC as a currency protection tool highlights its growing appeal as an alternative to traditional fiat currencies, a trend that is becoming increasingly popular globally. The remarkable 486.7% year-to-date yield from this investment showcases the immense potential and could serve as a model for businesses and organizations around the world, prompting them to reassess their own treasury management approaches. This development is expected to drive increased demand for Bitcoin, further fueling its price growth and solidifying its role in the emerging financial system. Institutional Flows Fuel Bullish Momentum As institutional demand for Bitcoin accelerates and market infrastructure strengthens, CryptoBusy has revealed that September has long been considered a historically weak month for Bitcoin. Data shows that the median return sits at -3.12% with 8 of the last 12 years ending in the red. However, 2025 is shaping up to be fundamentally different. Related Reading: $40M Bitcoin Treasury Launch Marks South Korea’s First Institutional Crypto Move The landscape has shifted significantly. ETFs are now live, institutional inflows are accelerating, and the US has openly embraced Bitcoin. These factors have transformed the usual bearish September narrative into a potentially bullish setup. Last year, September 2024 closed with a green candle at +7.29% despite the seasonal headwinds. With Bitcoin having already printed a new all-time high of $124,000 earlier in this cycle, the market is poised to see if 2025 will mark the first ETF-driven September Rally.

Bitcoin is facing renewed volatility after losing the $110,000 level just a few days ago, a breakdown that has fueled uncertainty across the market. Bulls are attempting to reclaim this crucial support, but fear of a deeper correction continues to weigh heavily on sentiment. With every failed rebound, traders are left questioning whether this pullback is simply a pause within the broader uptrend or the beginning of a larger downtrend. Related Reading: Ethereum Demand Stays Strong As Exchange Reserves Keep Falling – Details Crypto analyst Darkfost has shared new data providing context for the current environment. Since Bitcoin’s most recent all-time high near $123,000, the asset has retraced by roughly -12%. According to Darkfost, this move remains well within the boundaries of a normal correction, especially when compared to historical pullbacks in previous bull cycles. Such corrections are often healthy, serving to reset leverage, cool overheated sentiment, and create fresh entry points for long-term investors. While uncertainty remains in the short term, history suggests that Bitcoin’s current retracement does not necessarily signal the end of the cycle. Instead, it may represent a period of stabilization before the next major move. Bitcoin Correction Aligns With Historical Patterns According to Darkfost, Bitcoin’s current retracement should be viewed within the broader context of this cycle rather than as a sign of structural weakness. Looking more closely, since the first all-time high in March 2024, the largest drawdown recorded so far reached 28%. Importantly, Bitcoin has not corrected more deeply than that throughout the ongoing bull market. Historically, the most severe pullbacks in bullish phases have averaged between -20% and -25%, placing the present move well within the expected range. With Bitcoin now down roughly 12% from its latest all-time high of $123,000, the retracement is still modest compared to prior cycle corrections. Darkfost emphasizes that this behavior is not unusual and could even extend further without breaking the underlying bull trend. In fact, such drawdowns are often healthy and necessary in long-term uptrends. They serve several functions: flushing out excessive leverage in the derivatives market, cooling down overheated sentiment, and shaking out short-term speculators. At the same time, they create new entry opportunities for investors who may have missed earlier stages of the rally. For long-term holders and institutions, these phases are less about panic and more about preparation. Historically, similar corrections have preceded renewed strength, as Bitcoin stabilizes before resuming its upward trajectory. If the current pattern holds, this retracement may ultimately strengthen the market foundation, setting the stage for the next leg of growth. Related Reading: Binance Network Activity Outpaces Ethereum As Active Addresses Double Since April Testing Recovery Level After Deep Pullback Bitcoin is attempting to recover after a sharp correction that took the price down to the $108K region. As shown in the chart, BTC recently bounced back above $110K but continues to struggle to sustain momentum. The rejection from the $123K zone marked the cycle’s most recent all-time high, and the market has since been in a retracement phase. The 12-hour chart highlights how BTC dipped below its 200-day moving average (red line) but quickly rebounded, signaling that bulls are still defending this crucial support. The 50-day (blue) and 100-day (green) moving averages, however, are trending downward, suggesting that pressure remains in the short term. BTC will need to reclaim the $112K–$115K zone to shift sentiment back toward bullish momentum. Related Reading: Galaxy Digital Sells 1,167 Bitcoin Amid Ongoing Volatility On the downside, losing the $108K level could open the door to a deeper correction toward $105K or even the $101K region, where the 200-day MA sits as the last line of defense. Bitcoin is consolidating in a fragile position. A decisive move above $115K could reignite bullish momentum, but failure to hold current support may confirm a prolonged correction phase before any attempt at a new all-time high.

Bitcoin has seen a rebound since retesting the short-term holder Realized Price, a sign that this historical on-chain support may be holding. Bitcoin Short-Term Holder Realized Price Just Acted As Support As explained by CryptoQuant author IT Tech in an X post, Bitcoin found support around the short-term holder Realized Price during the latest dip. The “Realized Price” here refers to an on-chain indicator that measures the cost basis of the average investor on the BTC network. Related Reading: Bitcoin HODLers Spend 97,000 BTC—Biggest Move This Year When the price of the cryptocurrency is above this metric, it means the holders as a whole are in a state of net unrealized profit. On the other hand, it being under the indicator implies the overall market is in the red. In the context of the current topic, the Realized Price of only a specific segment of investors is of interest: the short-term holders (STHs). This cohort includes the holders who purchased their coins within the past 155 days. The STHs make up for one of the two main divisions of the Bitcoin market done on the basis of holding time, with the other side being known as the long-term holders (LTHs). Where these groups differ is that the investors of the former tend to be weak hands who make panic moves whenever volatility emerges in the sector, while the latter’s members show high-conviction behavior. To any investor, their cost basis is an important level and since the STHs are particularly fickle, they usually show some kind of reaction when their Realized Price gets retested. This has led to the asset’s price observing various interactions with this metric in the past. One such interaction may have occurred during the past day, as the below chart shared by the analyst suggests. As displayed in the above graph, the Bitcoin STH Realized Price currently sits around $107,500. During BTC’s latest dip, its price slightly went under this mark, but found a rebound to higher levels. Generally, STHs buy to defend their cost basis when the sentiment among them is bullish. In such periods, they believe a price decline to their break-even mark to be a “dip-buying” opportunity Considering the fact that the asset has been able to find support at the STH Realized Price, it would appear that the STHs still think a bullish regime is on. That said, Bitcoin has only seen a small rebound for now, so it only remains to be seen whether the asset will remain above the level or if another retest would occur.

In the scenario that a breakdown of the metric occurs, the cryptocurrency may face a shift to a bearish trend in the short-term, as it took place in February of this year.

Bitcoin price is still showing bearish signs below $112,000. BTC is now attempting to recover and might face hurdles near the $110,500 level. Bitcoin started a fresh decline below the $112,000 zone. The price is trading below $110,500 and the 100 hourly Simple moving average. There was a break above a short-term contracting triangle with resistance at $108,800 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair (data feed from Kraken). The pair might start another decline if it stays below the $110,500 zone. Bitcoin Price Starts Consolidation Bitcoin price attempted a fresh recovery wave from the $107,350 zone. BTC was able to climb above the $108,200 and $108,400 resistance levels. The price cleared the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the key drop from the $113,457 swing high to the $107,352 low. Besides, there was a break above a short-term contracting triangle with resistance at $108,800 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair. However, the bears are still active near $109,500. The price is now consolidating near $109,500. Bitcoin is now trading below $110,000 and the 100 hourly Simple moving average. Immediate resistance on the upside is near the $109,500 level. The first key resistance is near the $110,200 level. The next resistance could be $110,500 or the 50% Fib retracement level of the key drop from the $113,457 swing high to the $107,352 low. A close above the $110,500 resistance might send the price further higher. In the stated case, the price could rise and test the $111,650 resistance level. Any more gains might send the price toward the $112,500 level. The main target could be $113,500. Another Decline In BTC? If Bitcoin fails to rise above the $110,500 resistance zone, it could start a fresh decline. Immediate support is near the $108,800 level. The first major support is near the $108,200 level. The next support is now near the $107,350 zone. Any more losses might send the price toward the $106,500 support in the near term. The main support sits at $105,500, below which BTC might decline sharply. Technical indicators: Hourly MACD – The MACD is now losing pace in the bearish zone. Hourly RSI (Relative Strength Index) – The RSI for BTC/USD is now above the 50 level. Major Support Levels – $108,800, followed by $108,000. Major Resistance Levels – $109,500 and $110,500.

The recent downturn in Bitcoin prices has raised eyebrows among market analysts, with one prominent figure warning that the leading cryptocurrency could face a significant decline toward the $90,000 mark in the coming months.  As Bitcoin opened the month officially dropping below critical support levels, the market’s reaction remains tepid, suggesting that many investors have yet to fully grasp the severity of the situation. BTC’s Last Line Of Defense In a recent post on X (formerly Twitter), market analyst Doctor Profit highlighted key price levels associated with various holder groups: $115,600 for 1 million holders, $113,600 for 3 million holders, and approximately $107,000 for 6 million holders.  Related Reading: Ethereum Demand Stays Strong As Exchange Reserves Keep Falling – Details As Bitcoin traded below all these thresholds earlier on Monday, Doctor Profit pointed out that every recent buyer is currently facing unrealized losses. However, he cautioned against interpreting this lack of panic as a sign of stability.  According to him, “these investors haven’t tasted enough fear yet,” suggesting that market makers may continue to drive prices lower until a genuine capitulation occurs. The analyst emphasized that the $107,000 to $108,900 zone represents the last robust line of defense for Bitcoin. Should this level fail to hold, he predicts a swift movement toward the $90,000 to $95,000 range.  Currently, the market’s leading cryptocurrency has recovered above $109,000. It is trading above the last line of support, preventing the analyst’s scenario of an additional 17% price drop for Bitcoin toward its Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) gap placed just above $90,000. Tough September Ahead For Bitcoin  Doctor Profit also argued in his analysis that the current market sentiment is characterized by minimal fear and an unrealized loss of only 0.5%, especially when compared to the more significant corrections of 30% or more seen in historical bear markets.  He believes that the lack of panic among the cryptocurrency’s holders indicates that many are still too comfortable, which could set the stage for a more severe market correction. Related Reading: XRP Price Action Turns Bearish, Analyst Says Crash Below $1 Is Coming Further complicating matters, Doctor Profit noted the recent behavior of corporate insiders in the stock market, where over 200 alleged insider trades occurred, with not a single buy recorded.  If insiders are choosing to offload their stocks during a period of apparent strength, the analyst asserts that this activity could foreshadow similar selling pressure in the Bitcoin and broader cryptocurrency market. As market makers seek to capitalize on this development, Doctor Profit warns that these entities will likely apply pressure until a substantial portion of short-term traders are forced to sell at a loss.  Doctor Profit concludes by suggesting that the real pain for Bitcoin holders is still to come, predicting that September will be particularly unkind as the market shifts from denial to a more painful reality.

Bitcoin’s (BTC) recent volatility has unsettled investors, as the largest cryptocurrency by market cap slid by more than five percent over the last two weeks. However, two key on-chain factors indicate that the BTC market structure is largely resilient. Bitcoin Remains Strong Despite Volatility According to a CryptoQuant Quicktake post by contributor XWIN Research Japan, two important on-chain indicators suggest that despite the recent slump in price, the overall market structure remains strong for the flagship cryptocurrency. Related Reading: Bitcoin Sentiment On Binance Turns Bullish – But Is The Market Setting A Trap? The first is Bitcoin’s Delta Cap – a long-term valuation model derived from the difference between Realized Cap and Average Cap – that has historically acted as a reliable floor during major cycles. In early August, BTC traded above this steadily rising line, suggesting that the market is building a stronger foundation compared to previous drawdowns. A rising Delta Cap also signals capital inflows and long-term investor conviction, even during price corrections. The CryptoQuant analyst shared the following chart showing Delta Cap hovering around $739.4 billion. Although BTC is currently trading below this line, a quick move to $120,000 would likely push the price back above it. The second on-chain factor pointing toward resilience in BTC market structure is the Coinbase Premium Gap, which currently stands at +11.6. The high positive value of the metric suggests stronger demand from US institutions, who are accumulating BTC at a premium. For the uninitiated, the Coinbase Premium Gap measures the price difference of Bitcoin between US exchange Coinbase and global exchanges like Binance. A positive gap means Bitcoin trades at a higher price on Coinbase, often signaling stronger US institutional buying demand. Historically, sustained periods of positive premium have preceded major bullish phases, as institutional accumulation drives price discovery. The analyst concluded: Together, these two metrics point toward a constructive setup: Bitcoin consolidating above $100K with strong institutional support and a long-term valuation floor steadily rising. Corrections, rather than being a sign of weakness, appear to be opportunities for accumulation within a robust structural uptrend. Is BTC Out Of The Woods? Although the two aforementioned on-chain indicators point toward strength in BTC market structure, not all analysts are as optimistic. For instance, a fall below $105,000 might send BTC all the way down to $90,000. Related Reading: Analyst Says Bitcoin Price Is Heading To $256K — Here’s When Another analyst recently warned that if BTC loses the support at $108,600 level, then it could fall further to $104,000. A failure to bounce from $104,000 could see BTC test the psychologically important $100,000 level. That said, Bitcoin’s rapidly rising illiquid supply on Binance may play a pivotal role in sending it to a fresh all-time high (ATH). At press time, BTC trades at $109,289, up 0.9% in the past 24 hours. Featured image from Unsplash, charts from CryptoQuant and TradingView.com

Bitcoin long-term holders have seen their spending accelerate recently, with the largest daily spike of the year taking place on Friday. 1 To 2 Years Old Bitcoin Investors Made Up For The Biggest Part Of The Spike In a new post on X, on-chain analytics firm Glassnode has discussed how the activity of the Bitcoin long-term holders (LTHs) has been looking recently. The LTHs refer to the BTC investors who have been holding onto their coins for more than 155 days. Related Reading: Solana Breaks Out Of Ascending Triangle: Is $300 The Next Stop? Statistically, the longer an investor holds onto their coins, the less likely they are to sell them in the future. As such, the LTHs with their relatively long holding time are considered to be resolute entities. Despite their conviction, however, there are times when even members of this cohort decide to part with their coins. Below is a chart shared by Glassnode that shows how spending from this cohort has fluctuated over the past year. As is visible in the graph, the 14-day simple moving average (SMA) of the Bitcoin volume spent by the LTHs has shot up recently, indicating the HODLers are ramping up their transaction activity. The spike in LTH spending has come after a decline in the BTC price. The timing could be a possible sign that some of the diamond hands are starting to think the bull run is winding down, so they have decided to exit with their profits while they still can. Though while Bitcoin LTH transactions are elevated right now, they are still significantly below the levels observed in the last quarter of 2024. Also, the smoothed data of the 14-day SMA may suggest the development corresponds to an increase in spending over a period, but it turns out that it’s largely due to a single large daily spike. From the chart, it’s apparent that this large spike that occurred on Friday involved around 97,000 BTC, worth a whopping $10.6 billion. This is the largest spending day for the LTHs in 2025 so far. Related Reading: Solana Social Media Hype Hits 11-Week High As Price Jumps 16% The LTH group’s 155-day cutoff means that the cohort covers a rather large range, so here’s another chart, this one breaking down how the different segments of the group have contributed to this event: It would appear that the 1 to 2-year-old Bitcoin LTHs provided the largest part of the spending spike at 34,500 BTC. The 6 to 12 months and 3 to 5 years segments are other standouts, each contributing around 16,000 BTC. BTC Price Bitcoin slipped toward $107,000 during the weekend, but it appears the coin has jumped back to start Monday as its price is now trading around $109,500.

On-chain analytics platform Santiment has weighed in on whether the Bitcoin price has reached its bottom, following its drop to the $108,000 range. The platform alluded to the current social sentiment, suggesting that a further drawdown may be looming.  Bitcoin Price Bottom Not Yet In Amid Spike In Social Dominance In a research report, Santiment indicated that the Bitcoin price bottom may not yet be in, considering the surge in the social dominance of ‘buy the dip’ mentions. The platform explained that a true bottom is often marked not by price but by a shift in social narrative from ‘buy the dip’ optimism to widespread fear. This creates a strong bearish case that discourages buying.  Related Reading: Analyst Warns Investors To Avoid Bitcoin At All Cost As Price Is Going Below $60,000 Santiment suggested that the Bitcoin price typically rebounds when the sentiment is bearish and when investors least expect an uptrend. However, for now, market participants are still getting “antsy and trying to find some entry spots now that prices have cooled down a bit, Santiment analyst Brian Quinlivan explained.  The analyst opined that the cooldown in the Bitcoin price so far is not a huge one, while noting that BTC has detached from the S&P 500. Quinlivan predicted that BTC and other crypto assets could play catch-up to the stock market when the crowd stops getting too optimistic about buying the dip. He added that the true ‘buy the dip’ opportunities happen when the crowd stops believing there is an opportunity.  In the research report, Santiment noted that the current ‘buy the dip’ chatter needs to be suddenly replaced by discussion of the narrative that supports the bearish case. In line with this, the platform advised market participants to pay close attention to the dominant social narrative. According to the report, when the conversation shifts from hopeful buying to widespread fear, it can be a stronger bottom signal than the Bitcoin price alone. Another Metric To Keep An Eye On The Santiment report indicated that BTC whale transfers are another key metric to watch for, as they can help determine if the Bitcoin price has reached its bottom. These whales, wallets holding 10 to 10,000 BTC, have not been selling off in any significant way despite the market dip.  Related Reading: MicroStrategy Successfully Claims 3% Of Bitcoin Supply, Here’s How Much It’s Now Worth According to Maksim, who joined Santiment analyst Brian on the podcast, whenever these wallets do decrease their holdings, it can lead to “postponed price suppression weeks thereafter.” Therefore, Santiment advised market participants to monitor the holdings of large Bitcoin wallets. A lack of selling from whales could indicate underlying strength, while a significant drop can be a warning of future price weakness.  At the time of writing, the Bitcoin price is trading at around $107,800, down in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

After hitting a new all-time high last month, the Bitcoin price has since retraced by more than 10%, crashing below $110,000 once again. This bearish pressure has continued into the new month, with sell-offs being the order of the day, especially as investors move to secure their profits. Despite calls for a possible bottom, a crypto analyst has suggested that the Bitcoin crash is far from over. In fact, going by the analysis, the decline may just be starting as Bitcoin is expected to tumble further. Why A Crash To $93,000 Is Imminent In the analysis, crypto analyst MMBTtrader acknowledges the fact that the Bitcoin price is already under immense pressure. This is shown by the fact that the cryptocurrency has been rejected from $120,000 and has now fallen back to the next major support zone. Related Reading: Cardano Price To Rise 300% To $4? Analyst Reveals When So far, the $108,000 level has acted as a support, preventing further decline. However, with sellers still being in charge of the market, it is possible that this level does not hold for long. Looking at the broader picture, the crypto analyst calls for further price decline, and this could trigger a cascading effect. As the analyst explains, this is happening because the market needs some rest. There is also the trendline that began back in 2024, shown by the line in green, suggesting where the Bitcoin price could fall next. A retest of this trendline suggests that Bitcoin could dump back to $93,000, where the trendline makes its next contact. Naturally, the next retest of the trendline in this case would mean that it is hitting support. But there is also the fact that momentum doesn’t point to a possible Bitcoin price recovery. Even after hitting $93,000, the analyst expects a further breakdown and a move to as low as $70,000. Why Bitcoin Price Could Still Jump In the case of bulls being able to maintain support and triggering a bounce, the crypto analyst shows there is still a possibility of a price jump. Here, the price would have to reclaim the trendline above $117,000 to complete the upward continuation. Related Reading: Analyst Says XRP Price Is Yet To Hit Its First Bearish Target – Details A price jump from this support level could end in another 30% price increase, pushing the price above the $137,000 level. However, the analyst remains adamant that there is more possibility of a breakdown. “I am thinking of breakout to the downside and more dump after that like red arrows maybe now with higher possibility,” MMBTtrader stated.

Bitcoin price is showing bearish signs below $112,000. BTC is struggling to recover and might start another decline below the $108,000 zone. Bitcoin started a fresh decline below the $112,550 zone. The price is trading below $111,000 and the 100 hourly Simple moving average. There was a break below a bullish trend line with support at $108,450 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair (data feed from Kraken). The pair might start another decline if it breaks the $108,000 support zone. Bitcoin Price Dips Again Bitcoin price attempted a fresh recovery wave from the $107,352 low. BTC was able to climb above the $108,000 and $108,500 resistance levels. The price cleared the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the key drop from the $113,457 swing high to the $107,352 low. However, the bears remained active near $109,500 and prevented more gains. The price is again moving lower below $109,000. There was a break below a bullish trend line with support at $108,450 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair. Bitcoin is now trading below $109,000 and the 100 hourly Simple moving average. Immediate resistance on the upside is near the $109,400 level. The first key resistance is near the $110,000 level. The next resistance could be $110,500 or the 50% Fib retracement level of the key drop from the $113,457 swing high to the $107,352 low. A close above the $110,500 resistance might send the price further higher. In the stated case, the price could rise and test the $112,000 resistance level. Any more gains might send the price toward the $112,500 level. The main target could be $113,500. More Losses In BTC? If Bitcoin fails to rise above the $110,500 resistance zone, it could start a fresh decline. Immediate support is near the $108,000 level. The first major support is near the $107,400 level. The next support is now near the $106,500 zone. Any more losses might send the price toward the $105,500 support in the near term. The main support sits at $103,500, below which BTC might decline sharply. Technical indicators: Hourly MACD – The MACD is now gaining pace in the bearish zone. Hourly RSI (Relative Strength Index) – The RSI for BTC/USD is now below the 50 level. Major Support Levels – $107,400, followed by $106,500. Major Resistance Levels – $109,500 and $110,500.

According to the latest on-chain data, the Bitcoin price has closed beneath a crucial level for the second time in 2025. Here’s how the premier cryptocurrency reacted the last time this happened. Is The BTC Price Correction Worsening? In an August 30 post on social media platform X, crypto analyst Burak Kesmeci revealed that the Bitcoin price could be at risk of further corrective action after falling below a critical on-chain level for a second time this year. The relevant indicator here is the Short-Term Holder (STH) Realized Price, which measures the price at which short-term investors bought their coins. Related Reading: Bitcoin Daily Close Spurs Caution – $110,500 Breakdown Could Shift Momentum For context, short-term holders often refer to investors who have held their coins for 155 days or less. The realized price offers insights into the cost basis of these newer market entrants, who are more sensitive to price fluctuations and show more propensity to move due to sudden changes in prices. The Bitcoin price typically trends above the STH Realized Price during periods of bullish intensity, while it lags below the metric during bear markets. Hence, this short-term realized price often acts as a dynamic resistance and support for the price of BTC. The Bitcoin price recently closed beneath the STH Realized Price of around $108,928 on Friday, August 29. However, that wouldn’t be the first time the price of BTC would be closing below the short-term holders’ cost, as it also did earlier in the year. In February, the market entered into an extended period of correction after the price of Bitcoin closed beneath the STH Realized Price. The flagship cryptocurrency fell almost 20% from around $92,000 to $76,000 between the end of February and the end of April. With the Bitcoin price closing below the Short-Term Holder Realized Price, the premier cryptocurrency stands at risk of the current pullback worsening. If history repeats itself, investors could also see the price of BTC fall 20% to around $86,000. Kesmeci said: In this cycle, as Bitcoin rises not parabolically but like a step-by-step ladder; closings below the STH realized price signal to us that the correction may continue in an annoying way. Bitcoin Price Overview After being under intense bearish pressure going into the weekend, the price of BTC has somewhat stabilized over the past day. However, the Bitcoin price has struggled to return above the psychological $110,000 level. Related Reading: Bitcoin 8% Below CME Gap Ahead Of Monthly Close — Will History Repeat?

Since reaching a new all-time high of $124,427 on August 14, Bitcoin has entered a prolonged corrective phase, losing 12.18% of its value over the last two weeks. With market prices now moving within the $109,000 range, market analyst Yonsei_dent has identified a pivotal support level to the present bullish market structure. Related Reading: Analyst Forecasts Bitcoin Price Will Break This Support Level, Can $100,000 Hold? Bitcoin’s $107,800 Line In The Sand: Support Or Breakdown Ahead? In a QuickTake post on CryptoQuant, Yonsei_dent shares some technical insight into the Bitcoin market, highlighting several important price levels at the moment. The analyst explains that Bitcoin’s current market price is sitting almost directly on top of the Short-Term Holder (STH) Realized Price, an important metric that tracks the average cost basis of recently acquired coins. Notably, investors holding coins for 1 week–1 month have an average cost basis of $116,400, while the 1–3 month cohort sits lower at $112,600. Meanwhile, holders in the 3–6 month range show a significantly cheaper cost basis of $93,400. When all these groups of short-term holders are weighted by realized capitalization, the blended average STH cost basis is calculated at around $107,800, i.e., about 1.45%% below present market prices. This alignment makes the $107,800 level a critical line in the sand, so to speak, for the current bullish structure. If Bitcoin remains above this threshold, short-term holders will remain close to breakeven, reducing the likelihood of widespread panic selling. However, if Bitcoin bulls lose this support zone, many new market entrants will fall into loss territory, increasing the potential for a heightened selling pressure. In such a bearish scenario, market participants would likely turn their attention toward the $93,400 support area, where the 3–6 month cost basis resides. This level could provide the next significant cushion, given that investors in this cohort are sitting on healthier profits and are likely to display stronger holding conviction. However, it’s worth stating that the situation is not outright bearish. A decisive recovery above $112,600–$116,400, representing the cost bases of 1–3 months and 1 week–1 month holders, respectively, could restore market confidence and reignite bullish momentum towards a potential return to the present market ATH.

The Bitcoin price has had a mixed performance in August, starting with a positive run-up to a new all-time high above $124,000. The premier cryptocurrency, however, has struggled to sustain this momentum in the final two weeks of the month. On Friday, August 29, the price of BTC fell to a six-week low of around $107,500, mirroring the widespread bearish sentiment in the market going into the weekend. While the market has been somewhat stable over the past day, the Bitcoin price has failed to show any real intent of breaking above the psychological $110,000 level. BTC Investors Should Look Out For These Two Support Levels  In a Quicktake post on the CryptoQuant platform, CryptoOnchain shared insights on the decline of Bitcoin, revealing that heavy profit-taking by whales was the primary factor behind this corrective phase. According to the on-chain analyst, there are certain levels to watch out for when evaluating the next step for the world’s largest cryptocurrency. Related Reading: Bitcoin 8% Below CME Gap Ahead Of Monthly Close — Will History Repeat? CryptoOnchain revealed two crucial Bitcoin price levels to look out for based on relevant on-chain indicators. Firstly, the crypto analyst identified the Short-Term Holder (STH) Realized Price (1-month – 3-month) as the first line of defense or support for the flagship cryptocurrency. CryptoOnchain described the STH Realized Price as the average acquisition price for investors for investors who have held their for 1 to 3 months. This level has historically served as a strong dynamic support and resistance for the Bitcoin price. According to the analyst, the price of BTC seems to be currently testing the support around this STH Realized Price, as shown in the chart below. Furthermore, CryptoOnchain identified the Realized Value Model’s Mid Price as the ultimate support level to watch for the Bitcoin price. This metric (green line in the chart below), which is based on MVRV and Realized Price, represents the most reliable long-term support level across various market cycles. The on-chain analyst noted that this support level is approximately $92,000, and it could provide the Bitcoin price with the necessary relief if the other short-term supports fail to hold. However, the premier cryptocurrency might have to endure an extended corrective phase if this $92,000 support is broken. Bitcoin Price At A Glance As of this writing, Bitcoin is valued at around $108,689, reflecting no significant price movement in the past 24 hours. According to CoinGecko data, the BTC price is down by almost 6% in the past seven days.

Bitcoin recorded a slight 1.50% price gain in the past 24 hours, with prices now hovering within the $109,000 price range, after a significant price correction from last week. While general market sentiment remains neutral, recent data from blockchain analytics firm CryptoQuant suggests the leading cryptocurrency may experience further price drops before any potential full rebound. Related Reading: Bitcoin Daily Close Spurs Caution – $110,500 Breakdown Could Shift Momentum Bitcoin Needs Deeper Losses For Strong Rebound Signal: Data In an X post on August 30, top market analyst Ali Martinez shares an important insight into a potential Bitcoin price recovery. Using data from CryptoQuant, Martinez identifies that the Bitcoin Trader Realized Profit/Loss Margin (P/L Margin) sat at-0.60% when prices traded at $111,337, indicating that the present P/L Margin is around -2.2%. Nevertheless, this P/L level stands in sharp contrast to historical capitulation thresholds. In previous cycles, Bitcoin has staged strong rebounds once the P/L margin fell to around -12%, marking heavy realized losses among short-term holders and creating the conditions for aggressive accumulation by larger entities. For example, during the market downturn of April 2025, margins collapsed beyond -12%, shortly before Bitcoin rebounded from sub-$75,000 levels to reclaim the six-figure range. A similar pattern occurred in July 2023 and October 2023, when capitulation below -12% preceded the significant levels of price rebounds. Currently, with margins hovering just around -2%, it is unlikely to see a textbook capitulation-driven rebound. This data suggests that deeper realized losses may be necessary before strong upside momentum resumes. However, this further price correction is not guaranteed. Alternatively, Bitcoin could also continue to trade sideways to gather momentum before initiating a price upswing. Related Reading: Analyst Says XRP Price Is Yet To Hit Its First Bearish Target – Details Bitcoin Market Outlook At the time of writing, Bitcoin trades at $109,528, reflecting a modest 1.50% intraday gain as earlier stated. However, the premier cryptocurrency remains under pressure, with losses of 5.51% on the weekly chart and 5.31% over the past month, signaling that many recent market entrants are holding at a loss. According to CryptoQuant’s data, Bitcoin’s realized price, which represents the average cost basis of all coins, currently stands at approximately $112,000. Historically, trading below the realized price suggests weaker investor conviction and heightened selling pressure from traders in loss, while sustained periods above it tend to coincide with bullish market phases. For market sentiment to stabilize, bulls must decisively reclaim the $112,000 realized price level. A successful breakout above this threshold could effectively halt the ongoing correction and pave the way for a rebound, with potential upside targets around $116,000.

Bitcoin is once again at the center of market attention, facing a decisive test after several days of heightened volatility. Last Friday, BTC lost the crucial $110,000 support level, sparking concerns that the recent rally may be running out of steam. Since then, the market has been marked by sharp swings as bulls attempt to defend current levels against mounting selling pressure. Related Reading: Ethereum Leads Market While Altcoins Lose Ground – Details Analysts are increasingly divided. While some believe this is a healthy consolidation within a broader uptrend, others are warning that Bitcoin could be on the brink of a deeper correction. With fear creeping back into sentiment, traders are closely watching key levels that could determine the next phase of price action. Adding to the uncertainty, new data from CryptoQuant reveals that Galaxy Digital has been selling BTC in the past hours, fueling speculation about whether institutional players are beginning to take profits. Such moves often amplify volatility, as smaller investors react to large-scale transactions by whales and funds. With Bitcoin’s trajectory at a crossroads, the coming days will be crucial. Either bulls regain control and push BTC back above resistance, or selling pressure intensifies, dragging the market into its sharpest correction since the summer rally. Galaxy Digital Sells BTC, Signals Market Shift According to CryptoQuant analyst Maartunn, Galaxy Digital’s Bitcoin balance has dropped by 1,167 BTC, adding fresh pressure to an already fragile market. The move comes at a moment when Bitcoin is testing crucial levels after losing the $110,000 mark last Friday, intensifying speculation that institutions may be locking in profits. While the reduction in holdings may not seem overwhelming in isolation, the timing has sparked concerns as Bitcoin’s next weekly close approaches. The broader market context makes this development even more significant. Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency, is consolidating around key demand levels after weeks of heavy volatility, suggesting that capital rotation is slowing while investors reassess their risk appetite. If ETH continues to hold firm, it may provide a degree of support for altcoins, but Bitcoin remains the decisive anchor for market sentiment. For Bitcoin, the next sessions represent a make-or-break phase. A strong weekly close above $110,000 could help restore confidence, signaling that the recent correction was temporary profit-taking rather than the start of a deeper downturn. Conversely, if selling pressure persists and BTC fails to recover, analysts warn of a possible slide toward $100,000 as the next major support zone. With Galaxy Digital’s activity highlighting institutional caution, investors are left weighing whether this is a short-term shakeout or the first sign of a broader distribution trend. Either way, the market’s reaction in the coming days will set the tone for the weeks ahead. Related Reading: Ethereum Demand Climbs As Monthly Transactions Hit New All-Time High Bitcoin Struggles To Hold Support As Selling Pressure Mounts Bitcoin (BTC) is trading around $108,764, showing signs of weakness after failing to recover from last week’s breakdown below the $110,000 level. The daily chart highlights how BTC has struggled to regain momentum, with repeated rejections around $112,000 confirming heavy selling pressure from the market. The technical outlook suggests that Bitcoin is now sitting at a crucial crossroads. The 50-day moving average (blue line) near $111,673 has flipped into resistance, a bearish signal that underscores the market’s current weakness. Meanwhile, the 100-day moving average (green line) at $116,323 has also begun sloping downward, suggesting that medium-term momentum is turning bearish. Related Reading: Bitcoin Index Highlights Two Accumulations And Five Distribution Waves This Cycle – Details Support, however, lies around the 200-day moving average (red line) near $101,207. If BTC continues to trend lower, this level will be critical to watch, as it could provide the foundation for a rebound. Losing it would open the door to a deeper correction, with $100,000 emerging as the next psychological level. Bitcoin’s inability to reclaim the $110K–$112K zone leaves it vulnerable to further downside. Bulls must step in soon to defend support, or the market risks accelerating into its largest correction since the summer rally. Featured image from Dall-E, chart from TradingView

Cryptowzrd, in a fresh update on Bitcoin’s daily technical outlook, noted that the market closed bearish, leaving room for further downside. A decisive close below the $110,500 support could mark a key shift, making lower levels worth watching.  Daily Candle Signals Bearish Pressure For Bitcoin Cryptowzrd expanded on his outlook by pointing out that Bitcoin’s daily candle closed bearish, with price now trading beneath the $110,500 support zone. This breakdown is significant and could invite further selling pressure in the sessions ahead if buyers fail to reclaim the level. Related Reading: Is The Bitcoin Rally Over? Analyst Forecasts Drop To $94,000 If This Level Doesn’t Hold He emphasized that holding below this support opens the door for a potential move toward the $100,000 mark. However, a strong bullish candle and a swift recovery could invalidate the bearish setup, restoring confidence for buyers. In the analysis, he also highlighted the performance of Bitcoin Dominance (BTC.D), which closed indecisively while displaying weakness. This weakness in dominance is often viewed as a positive signal for altcoins, as it suggests capital is flowing away from Bitcoin and into alternative assets. Such a shift in market dominance reflects growing market confidence in altcoins. When Bitcoin dominance stalls or declines, it tends to fuel altcoin rallies, allowing traders to diversify into promising setups across the market. Finally, he noted that markets are heading into the monthly transition period, a time often associated with increased volatility and mixed sentiment. Going into the weekend, he emphasized the importance of staying rational and avoiding overextending in either direction, maintaining measured strategies while waiting for clearer confirmation signals. BTC Volatility Dominates Intraday Trading Cryptowzrd highlighted that today’s intraday chart displayed sharp volatility with a clear bearish tone, as Bitcoin slipped and is currently holding below the $110,400 intraday support. This level has now become critical, as losing it signals weakening buyer strength and raises the risk of further downside pressure.  Related Reading: Bitcoin Rally Over? CryptoQuant’s Bull Score Index Turns Bearish He explained that if Bitcoin retests $110,400 and fails to reclaim it, the level could flip into resistance. Such a scenario would likely trigger a short setup, with price action targeting the $105,500 support area or even extending lower if bearish momentum accelerates. This makes the $110,400 region a decisive battleground for traders closely watching intraday setups. On the other hand, Cryptowzrd pointed out that a strong reclaim and hold above $110,400 could shift momentum back in favor of the bulls, opening the door for further upside pressure. However, the crypto analyst emphasized that the market currently lacks clarity, and traders should exercise caution before rushing in. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com

The crypto market succumbed to a significant amount of bearish pressure starting on Thursday, August 28, with most large-cap assets tumbling to new lows on Friday, August 29. The price of Bitcoin, the world’s largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, fell to a new low of $107,850 at the start of the weekend. Unsurprisingly, the latest data shows that this latest price decline seen across the digital asset market could have been predicted. This conclusion is based on recent crypto activity on the world’s largest search engine, Google. Is The Crypto Bull Cycle Over? In an August 29 post on social media platform X, Alphractal founder and CEO Joao Wedson revealed that crypto-related searches on Google have surged to new highs in recent days. According to the on-chain data expert, this recent spike in Google searches suggests that Bitcoin and the broader crypto market might have reached a new local top. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Plunge Sparks Outrage: Binance Targeted For Alleged Market Manipulation This revelation is based on the Google Trends chart, which allows investors to assess the social engagement of different crypto-related topics on the search engine. As shown in the chart below, the metric compares various subjects, including cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, altcoins, centralized exchanges, and data aggregation platforms. As observed in the highlighted chart, the Google Trends metric recently witnessed a significant surge, suggesting increased public attention across multiple crypto topics. According to Wedson, spikes of this kind have historically coincided with whales entering the market to sell while “everyone is obsessed.” Moreover, the cryptocurrency market has often shown in the past its tendency to move in the crowd’s opposite direction. These trends explain the price decline witnessed by most digital assets in the past few days, as the market has seemingly reached a new local top. Wedson, however, noted that other on-chain signals say that the latest euphoria-driven market downturn doesn’t necessarily spell the end of the current bull cycle. “Think back to BTC hitting $124K—euphoria peaked online, whales sold aggressively, and we went short,” the Alphractal founder added. Wedson then advised investors to exercise caution when euphoria hits the crypto market, as it could hint at the imminence of a local top. The crypto analyst said that a better strategy would be to smartly exit the market at a high price and reenter at a cheaper rate later. Total Crypto Market Cap At $3.7 Trillion As of this writing, the total crypto market capitalization sits just above $3.7 trillion, reflecting an almost 4% decline in the past day. According to data from TradingView, more than $142 billion has been drained out of the crypto market in the last 24 hours. Related Reading: Bitcoin’s Next Stop $183K?

The Bitcoin price never really caught a break over the past week, falling below the $110,000 mark by Tuesday, August 26. While it looked set to make a strong comeback, jumping back above $113,000 on Thursday, the flagship cryptocurrency is now struggling around a new multi-week low of around $107,500. This recent price decline has sparked conversations around the BTC bull cycle potentially reaching its peak, especially considering the market is currently dominated by euphoria. However, a crypto analyst on social media platform X has come forward with an audacious prediction for the Bitcoin price over the next few months. BTC To Reach Cycle Top In December 2025: Analyst Crypto analyst Frank Fetter—after a renowned American economist—took to the X platform to submit an exciting and bold prediction for the price of Bitcoin in the remaining months of 2025. According to the online pundit, the Bitcoin price could reach as high as $256,000 in this cycle. Related Reading: Is The Bitcoin Rally Over? Analyst Forecasts Drop To $94,000 If This Level Doesn’t Hold This positive projection is based on the Bitcoin Index Performance Since Cycle Low, which assesses the performance of the BTC price in various 4-year cycle periods. This metric reflects the cyclical nature of the largest cryptocurrency market. While many reports are predicting the cycle theory to be dead, this particular chart shows that Bitcoin has yet to even complete the current bull cycle in the first place. As observed in the highlighted chart, the Bitcoin Index Performance data suggests that the Bitcoin price, in the past two cycles (2015 – 2018 and 2018 – 2022), reached its peak around 1,100 days after hitting its cycle low. The premier cryptocurrency grew by 110x and 21x in these 2015 – 2018 and 2018 – 2022 cycles, respectively. With the market leader currently up by over 7x from its last cycle low and around 100 days away from the historical top, Fetter projects the price of BTC to reach as high as $256,000 based on the 2018 – 2022 fractal. If this history does repeat itself, it means the flagship cryptocurrency would have grown 16x by the end of this cycle. According to the analyst, the Bitcoin price could reach this target as early as December 3, 2025. This potential leg up would represent an almost 140% move from the current price point for BTC. Bitcoin Price At A Glance As of this writing, the price of BTC stands around $108,301, reflecting a nearly 4% decline in the past 24 hours. According to data from CoinGecko, the premier cryptocurrency is down by more than 7% is the last seven days. Related Reading: Bitcoin’s Next Stop $183K?

The Bitcoin price is once again under heavy pressure in the market. An analyst has warned that the coin shows strong bearish signs after being rejected at a resistance level. The price has now fallen to a critical support area, where buyers are trying to hold the line. According to the analyst, if the level fails, the price could drop even lower, raising doubts about whether the key levels will remain safe. Analyst Says Bitcoin Price Turned Bearish After $121,000 Rejection The analyst explained that the bearish trend began when Bitcoin strongly rejected the $121,000 resistance level. According to the analyst, that rejection forced the coin to break down from its earlier upward channel, which had guided the price during its last rally. Once this breakdown happened, the mood in the market shifted, and a new bearish phase took hold. Related Reading: VanEck CEO Reveals Which Altcoin Is “The Wall Street Token”, It’s Not XRP The analyst added that Bitcoin first moved within a downward channel, but even that structure could not hold. As selling pressure increased, the coin also broke below the support level of this channel. The downward move marked a shift in sentiment, as buyers could not keep the price stable. According to the analyst, Bitcoin’s fall may now follow a steep local trend line, which could cause the coin to decline faster. This kind of move shows that sellers are firmly in control for now. The analyst’s view is that the rejection at $121,000 was a turning point, and the coin has been unable to regain strength since then. For many traders, this level has become a clear resistance that won’t break again without strong demand. $109,700 Support Under Pressure, Analyst Targets $104,000 Next The analyst also pointed out that Bitcoin is now directly testing the key buyer zone at $109,700. The level acts as a horizontal support, and the analyst says that if it fails, the bearish case could only grow stronger. While there may be a short period of sideways movement or a minor retest of the nearby trend line, the analyst believes the dominant force in the market remains downward pressure. Related Reading: Bitcoin OG Who Told People To Buy BTC At $1 Reveals How High XRP Price Will Go In simple terms, the analyst expects the weight of selling to break the $109,700 level. If that happens, the path to $104,000 becomes the next logical target. The analyst explained that this lower zone could be the next support area where buyers might try to fight back. However, if $109,700 does not hold, the move to $104,000 could come quickly. Beyond that, the market will begin to ask a bigger question — can Bitcoin hold the critical $100,000 level? Traders are watching closely, because a break below that level would mark a significant shift in the broader trend. Featured image from DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com
