A significant plunge in the crypto market has sent shockwaves across the industry over the last 24 hours, leaving a trail of liquidations in its wake. Around 200,000 traders were forced out of their positions as Bitcoin plunged to a seven-week low, wiping out more than $900 million in liquidations over a single day. Related Reading: Bitcoin Rally Slowed By Old-School Whales, Analyst Warns According to CoinGlass, most of those losses came from long bets that could not weather the slide. Liquidations Hit Retail Traders Reports have disclosed that a single large sale helped set off the cascade. Selling pressure intensified as a large holder offloaded 24,000 BTC, triggering a wave of liquidations, said Rachael Lucas, a crypto analyst at BTC Markets. On Coinbase, Bitcoin briefly fell below $109,000 — its weakest level since July 9. Market participants felt the shock fast; traders who were long were the ones most exposed. Macro Signals And Market Reaction A recent hint from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell at Jackson Hole about potential interest rate cuts changed how some investors priced risk. Since August 14, when Bitcoin reached an all-time high just over $124,000, the asset has corrected by over 10%. Based on data, the drop since Powell’s speech is about 7%. The single-day move was measured at close to 3% decline for Bitcoin, and total crypto market value slipped back below $4 trillion to about $3.83 trillion as almost $200 billion flowed out of the space. Ether Is Holding Up Ether traded near $4,340 and, for now, looks steadier than Bitcoin. It did fall, but it did not breach last week’s low. Institutional interest in Ether remains a talking point. According to Lucas, institutions continue to focus on Ethereum, even as traders reassess risk across smaller coins.

The question reverberating across —whether a decisive break below $105,000 would end the Bitcoin bull cycle—drew a crisp rebuttal from popular market analyst CrediBULL Crypto (@CredibleCrypto). In a pair of late-night posts to his 476,000 followers, he argued that while $105,000 is a key threshold for the “most aggressive” upside path, a loss of that level would not, by itself, terminate the higher-time-frame uptrend. “No, if $105,000 is lost it’s not ‘over’ it just means the most aggressive/bullish scenario is out of play and a deeper correction is a lot more likely,” he wrote. “HTF structure isn’t broken until/unless $74,000 is lost—all explained in my last Youtube vid so before you ask ‘why so low for HTF invalidation’ go watch the vid :).” In a second post he reiterated the pivot that has framed his outlook for weeks: “$107-$110,000 has always been the MOST pivotal point on the BTC chart… This is the most likely zone for a full on reversal—it doesn’t mean it is guaranteed of course but this is the last place it makes sense to start flipping bearish.” How Low Could Bitcoin Price Go? The posts point back to a YouTube video published two weeks ago, where the analyst maps three paths for Bitcoin’s next leg. Two envision an upside reversal in or just below the current $107,000–$110,000 area, while a third allows for a deeper corrective sweep without violating the secular uptrend. Related Reading: Bitcoin Bull Run Under Attack: Expert Says Wall Street Is To Blame He is explicit that trend invalidation for the cycle sits much lower—he cites the “mid-$70,000s” as the line in the sand, and, in one passage, places formal invalidation at $74,000–$75,000—because that’s where the prior high-time-frame impulse originated and where the market would, in Elliott-wave terms, erase the larger five-wave structure. That framing is why losing $105,000 would mark a deterioration in momentum rather than a terminal break in structure. Inside his framework, “Scenario 1”—the idea that price is still working through a compact fourth-wave pause inside an already active impulse—has, by his own admission, grown unlikely. The corrective chop has lasted too long and retraced too deep relative to its second-wave analogue; by classical proportionality, that makes it the wrong degree for a fourth wave. The technical red line for that scenario was $110,000; once reclaimed and then overrun to the downside during the correction, the count’s symmetry broke down. “Scenario 2,” his preferred bullish configuration, casts the rally off roughly $105,000 as the first completed five-wave impulse of a new advance. In this reading, the market is currently tracing a wave-two pullback with invalidation squarely at $105k. Related Reading: When Will Bitcoin Bottom Out? This Could Be The Signal To Watch The implication is arithmetic as much as it is structural: if wave one spanned approximately $20,000 top to bottom, a standard third wave would be larger, pushing toward at least the mid-$130,000s before a fourth-wave pause and a terminal fifth carry the move into the $150,000-plus region. This is why he characterizes $107,000–110,000 as “the best R:R for longs,” the last high-probability staging area for a reversal before invalidation. “Scenario 3” keeps the broader May-to-present correction intact. Here the pop above range highs was corrective rather than impulsive—what technicians call a three-leg rise with overlap—and the market still owes a deeper sweep into demand. He differentiates two shapes: a running flat that defends the June/July lows and finds support in a purple band between ~$103,000 and ~$98,000, and an expanded flat that undercuts those lows and tests the daily demand block that “started at basically 98k,” which price “front-ran… at 98.2k” before bouncing. In both cases the higher-time-frame thesis is unchanged, because the structural invalidation remains far below at $74k–$75k. At press time, BTC traded around $110,019 after hitting an intraday low at $108,666. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com

After a turbulent four years since the explosive rally of 2021, the Ethereum price looks ready to set new all-time highs. Mainly, the targets to trigger the next altcoin season have been set above the $5,000 level, where it seems most of the bullish pressure has been waiting. So far, Ethereum has yet to break this major target, but a machine learning algorithm has predicted that this level will be surmounted within a very short timeframe. Ethereum Price To Finally Beat $9,000 The machine learning algorithm of the CoinCodex has placed Ethereum above the $5,000 mark very soon. The 5-day prediction, which will carry through to the end of this week, shows that a 10% move is coming before the week is over. This would put the Ethereum price above the $5,200 level and mark a brand-new all-time high since 2021. Related Reading: Shiba Inu Head And Shoulders Pattern Signals 540% Upshoot To New All-Time Highs This prediction comes as the market has continued to skew bullish, especially with Ethereum breaking above $4,800 recently. Ethereum’s bullishness is expected to carry on into the month of September, where the machine learning algorithm also puts it above $5,200 for the month. While the short-term prediction for the Ethereum price is positive, the main move is expected to happen in the last quarter of the year. The months of October, November, and December are expected to see the Ethereum price at higher all-time highs than the previous month, expecting to close out the year 2025 in the green. For the month of October, the machine learning algorithm expects the price to cross $8,100, resulting in an over 69% increase in price from here. Then, for the next month, November 2025, is when the price is expected to cross the $9,000 level. This means that the timeframe for the Ethereum price to reach $9,000 could be as little as three months. As for December, the price is expected to retrace from $9,000, but still maintain a high level. The max price is placed at $7,278, and the min price at $6,876. This means it would still be a more than 50% increase from the current price. Q4 Is Where The Magic Happens Historically, the last quarter of the year has always been bullish for the Ethereum price, so it is no surprise that the machine learning algorithm expects the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap to hit a new all-time high in Q4. According to data from CryptoRank, four out of the last five years have seen the last quarter of the year close with double-digit gains for Ethereum. Related Reading: This Week In XRP: Ripple CTO Set To Announce Important Update The last time that the price had hit a new all-time high was also in the month of November, coinciding with the expectation that ETH will hit a $9,000 ATH in November this year. If the trend holds, then Ethereum might be in for an incredibly bullish Q4, putting in average gains of over 20% before the quarter is concluded. Featured image from Dall.E, chart from TradingView.com
