The cryptocurrency market has slipped into red territory once again. A wave of liquidations has pulled Bitcoin below $110,000, while Ethereum has also retraced after reaching a fresh all-time high recently. The immediate trigger was a massive sell-off: on August 25, a single entity dumped 24,000 BTC, sparking a sharp flash crash. While panic gripped …
The market’s leading cryptocurrency, Bitcoin (BTC), has recently attempted to stabilize around $112,000 after experiencing a sharp decline to $110,000 on Sunday, meaning a 10% drop from all-time high (ATH) levels. Ahead of the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) September meeting, market expert Doctor Profit highlighted on X (formerly Twitter) the upcoming implications and the most important technical indicators that paint a bleak picture for Bitcoin (BTC) and the broader market. Fed Rate Cut To Trigger A New Market Correction? Doctor Profit emphasized that the current market environment is markedly different from previous cycles. He believes that the anticipated rate cut by the Fed next month could initiate a robust correction in both stocks and cryptocurrencies. According to him, the first significant cut typically brings uncertainty, leading to divergent opinions among investors, and he predicts that this time will be no exception.

The expert noted a substantial Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) gap around the $93,000 mark that needs addressing, with most liquidity concentrated in the $90,000 to $95,000 range. The charts indicate a potential correction, highlighted by a double top formation and declining trading volume. Notably, Doctor Profit has asserted that the last price surge that saw BTC reach $124,000, was largely driven by futures rather than spot market activity, reinforcing the bearish sentiment. Bitcoin Price Forecast Market psychology plays a crucial role in this analysis. On-chain metrics and sentiment indicators reveal that retail investors often buy high and sell low. The expert disclosed that during Bitcoin’s last dip from $110,000 to $98,000 between May and June of this year, it was primarily institutional investors who capitalized on the lower prices, while retail buyers missed out. As prices climbed, retail investors entered the market at higher levels, Doctor Profit added, which could lead to a shakeout as Bitcoin approaches the critical liquidation zone of $90,000 to $95,000. Related Reading: Analyst Says It Doesn’t Matter What Analysis You Use, XRP Price Is Set To Explode Beyond Bitcoin’s price action, Doctor Profit warns that the current market sentiment reflects a false sense of optimism, suggesting that the prevalent belief in a sustained altcoin season is misguided. He cautions that as enthusiasm grows, larger players may begin to offload their positions, leaving retail investors exposed. Looking ahead, he forecasts a potential surge in Bitcoin prices towards $145,000 to $150,000, which could potentially mean a 34% increase from current levels. The expert also expects Ethereum (ETH) to reach between $7,000 and $8,000 following the September correction. When writing, Bitcoin trades at $112,560, recording a 6% drop in the fourteen-days time frame. Ethereum on the other hand, has continuously positioned among the market’s top performers with a 5% surge during the same period. Featured image from DALL-E, chart from TradingView.com

XRP has struggled to maintain its momentum in recent weeks, with the token slipping nearly 10% over the past month. At the time of writing, XRP is trading around $2.96, as the broader market shows mixed signals. While assets such as Ethereum continue to post upward moves, establishing a new high, XRP has instead faced consistent correction, leading market participants to closely monitor whether the trend could extend further or stabilize in the near term. A CryptoQuant analyst has noted that XRP’s current price action comes after an early-2025 rally that saw the token reach the $3.5 to $4 range. That surge was accompanied by a spike in inflows to exchanges, particularly from large holders, signaling significant profit-taking. The analyst argues that this inflow activity may be exerting renewed pressure on the token’s price, leaving investors to weigh both the risks and potential opportunities ahead. Related Reading: XRP Price Action Signals Strength, More Upside Potential Ahead XRP Exchange Inflow Data Points to Profit-Taking The analyst, known as PelinayPA, highlighted the significance of XRP’s exchange inflow transactions in a recent analysis. The analyst explained that historically, periods of heavy inflows from major holders have often preceded cycle tops in XRP’s price. Notable examples included its 2018 peak above $3, the 2021 high near $1.90, and the 2023 rally toward $0.90. According to the latest data, a similar trend has emerged. PelinayPA noted: At the start of 2025, XRP rallied to $3.5–$4 with massive inflow waves, especially in high-value bands (100K–1M+ XRP). This suggests significant whale selling pressure. Currently, inflows remain exceptionally high, pointing to short-term selling pressure. The report outlined multiple scenarios depending on whether XRP can hold support near the $3.00 level. In the short term, continued inflows could drive prices toward the $2.8 zone. However, if the $3 threshold holds, the analyst believes it could serve as a base for a new upward attempt, with resistance levels between $4.2 and $4.5 being key to unlocking further gains. Over the long run, the analyst stressed that XRP remains in a stronger structural uptrend compared to earlier market cycles, leaving open the possibility of new highs above $5 later in 2025.

An analyst on X, posting under the name “XRP Update,” emphasized the importance of the $2.95 level, which coincides with the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement. In their analysis, holding above this level could create a pathway toward $3.33 and $3.57, while a breakout beyond $4.6–$5.2 would bring XRP into new price discovery territory. $XRP AT A MAKE OR BREAK LEVEL ⚡️ – Price sits on $2.95 (Fib 0.618) a key support zone.???????? – Hold above → path to $3.33 → $3.57, then eyes on $4.6–$5.2 ???????? – Lose it → risk dips to $2.65 ???? The next move will define the trend‼️ pic.twitter.com/iYa94DyiRA — XRP Update (@XrpUdate) August 25, 2025 On the other hand, failure to maintain support could open the door to further downside, with $2.65 flagged as the next key level. This aligns with the caution expressed in on-chain data, suggesting that XRP is currently at a pivotal stage where the next move may determine its trajectory for the rest of the year.

The trend of companies establishing crypto treasuries is gaining momentum, with Sharps Technology—a small player in the medical device and pharmaceutical sector—being the last to announce a plan to raise $400 million through a stock sale aimed at funding Solana (SOL) treasury. New Solana Treasury In The Makings The capital raise, which is set to close on August 28, will effectively transform Sharps’ stock into a proxy for the Solana price, attracting backing from crypto investment firms such as ParaFi, Pantera Capital, and CoinFund. This infusion of over $400 million positions Sharps to potentially become the largest holder of Solana among publicly traded companies, surpassing its nearest competitor, Upexi, which holds approximately $394 million in the cryptocurrency. Related Reading: Analyst Says It Doesn’t Matter What Analysis You Use, XRP Price Is Set To Explode To further strengthen its position in the crypto ecosystem, Sharps has appointed Alice Zhang, a venture capitalist and co-founder of the crypto smartphone maker Jambo, to its board as the new chief investment officer. James Zhang, another co-founder from Jambo, will serve as a strategic advisor. Alice Zhang expressed confidence in the new team’s capabilities, stating, “We will have a team with deep ties to the Solana ecosystem and proven founder-level experience in scaling institutional digital asset platforms.” However, Sharps’ frontrunner status in the Solana treasury market may be short-lived. Fortune reports that major crypto players, including Galaxy Digital, Multicoin Capital, and Jump Crypto, are in the process of raising $1 billion to launch their own Solana treasury company. Strategy Expands Bitcoin Holdings This investment into Sharps is part of a larger trend where small public companies are actively establishing digital asset treasuries, which are essentially pools of cryptocurrency held on their balance sheets. This trend extends to the market’s largest altcoins, including XRP, Binance Coin (BNB), and The Open Network’s (TON) native token. This strategy has taken even higher relevance under the US’s leadership in creating a supportive framework for digital assets in the country.

Altcoins allow developers to test new functions and applications, which eventually make it onto Bitcoin, American venture capital investor Tim Draper said.
Ethereum has achieved a new milestone by surpassing its previous all-time high set in 2021, climbing above $4,900 before a slight correction. At the time of writing, ETH trades around $4,655, representing an 8.2% gain over the past week. This rally comes after three years of consolidation below its former peak, marking a significant moment for the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization. Unsurprisingly, Ethereum’s upward momentum has also shifted market sentiment, placing most ETH holders back in profit. The latest movement has been tied not only to retail activity but also to growing institutional participation. Analysts argue that this demand could be a major factor supporting Ethereum’s renewed market strength. Related Reading: Ethereum Whale Demand Surges On Binance As Price Nears $5,000 Institutional Demand and Market Positioning One of CryptoQuant’s contributors, known as Oinonen, highlighted how Ethereum is increasingly attracting institutional interest, signaling a change in the broader narrative. While Bitcoin has historically been viewed as the preferred digital asset for large investors, Ethereum’s use in decentralized finance (DeFi) and the recent inflows into spot ETH exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are shifting perceptions. “Ethereum is now emerging as a challenger to Bitcoin’s institutional dominance,” Oinonen wrote. As an example, he pointed to Tom Lee’s Bitmine Immersion Technologies, which acquired $6 billion worth of ETH in just two months. This alone boosted Ethereum’s market capitalization from $300 billion to $557 billion. For context, MicroStrategy, led by Michael Saylor, accumulated about $3 billion worth of Bitcoin over the same period, highlighting how significant ETH’s recent accumulation has become. This surge in institutional demand also aligns with Ethereum’s technical breakout. The price action suggests not only speculative buying but also structural changes in how the asset is being integrated into professional portfolios. With ETFs now approved and trading on national platforms in multiple regions, the shift is viewed as an important milestone for Ethereum’s role in global markets. Ethereum Short Squeeze and Volatility Outlook Another factor driving ETH’s price action is the unwinding of short positions on Binance. Oinonen noted that Ethereum has long been a favored asset for traders betting on declines. The unexpected breakout to new highs, however, triggered what he described as a “short squeeze,” forcing bearish traders to buy back ETH to cover their losses. This buying pressure amplified upward momentum and contributed to the rapid move toward $4,900. “The market is entering what could be called a ‘short squeeze season,’” the analyst explained, adding that Ethereum’s persistent rally may continue to pressure short sellers. While this scenario supports near-term gains, it also introduces the possibility of heightened volatility as positions are unwound. Looking ahead, Oinonen expects both Ethereum and Bitcoin to push toward further highs in the coming months, though he cautioned that a market correction could emerge between late 2025 and early 2026. The interplay between institutional demand, ETF inflows, and derivatives market dynamics is likely to define Ethereum’s trajectory during this period.
