Ethereum breaks new ATH in Japan and Korea, reaching 639,455 yen and surpassing the previous record of 632,954 yen, dating from December 17, 2024. A similar event took place in South Korea, where $ETH reached 5,971,000 won, beating the previous record of 5.9M won from December 2021. The sudden surge is unlikely to be the effect of the changing exchange rate, which is known to influence the crypto market, because both the yen and the won appreciated against the US dollar. Normally, this would suggest that crypto prices should go down, except the Japanese and the South Korean markets experienced the opposite. The only other explanation is an increase in local demand. But what’s the driving force behind the surge in investor interest? Growing Institutional Adoption Driving Ethereum Up The likeliest explanation for $ETH’s record performance on the Asian markets is the growing institutional adoption at the global level, with companies like Bitmine leading the pack with an iron hand. Bitmine has the largest Ethereum treasury, worth over $2.9B, with Chairman Thomas Lee stating that: We are well on our way to achieving our goal of acquiring and staking 5% of the overall ETH supply. —Thomas Lee, Public statement So, not only is Bitmine the largest $ETH player, but it plans to keep staking Ethereum for the foreseeable future, taking a page out of Strategy’s playbook, the largest Bitcoin holder in the world, with 628,946 $BTC, worth over 75$. Trump’s recent executive order, which allows crypto into the 401(k) plans, also played a critical role in pushing $ETH up the food chain. $ETH trades at $4,173 right now, but the growing interest in the Asian markets could force a bullish trend globally, fueling the entire ERC-20 ecosystem. If and when that happens, keep your eye on the following three projects, which show the highest growth potential in 2025. 1. Snorter Token ($SNORT) – Multi-Chain Token Sniper That Rewards Opportunistic Traders Snorter Token ($SNORT) is a Solana/Ethereum-based project that introduces the Snorter Bot, the opportunistic trader’s best friend. The Snorter Bot tracks down and snipes hot tokens milliseconds after liquidity becomes available, making it more reactive and effective even than UIs like Pump Fun, Raydium, and Jupiter. The Bot solves most problems associated with manual coin hunting, which include the risk of scams like honeypots and rug pulls, as well as the high entry-level tech knowledge requirement. As a novice trader, you only need to learn how to customize the Bot to your liking, enabling its real-time alerts to protect against suspicious projects and setting up the specifics. The Bot will do the rest. Snorter Bot is the ideal trading partner for beginners and professional traders, helping you target hot assets before they lose steam. $SNORT powers the ecosystem with the help of a $2.9M presale and a price of $0.1009. Given the project’s long-term potential, this may be the perfect time to invest. Our analysts predict a $1.02 $SNORT by the end of 2025, for a 910% growth. 2030 could see $SNORT pushing up to $1.50 or higher, depending on the mainstream appeal and implementation. You can buy your $SNORT today by going to the presale page and following the steps. 2. Dogecoin ($DOGE) – The Friendly Shiba Dog Leading the Meme Market Dogecoin ($DOGE) is the world’s most popular and beloved Shiba-dog-turned-meme, sitting at the forefront of the meme market. While it started as a purebred meme coin, Dogecoin soon gained blockchain utility as peer-to-peer currency. Today, you can spend $DOGE in online shops with third-party providers like Bitpay and Coinbase. The Dogecoin Foundation plans to expand on that and turn $DOGE into people’s coin, pushing it into the mainstream even more, if that’s even possible. $DOGE is backpedalling now, trading at $0.2291, witnessing a small contraction over the past 24 hours. However, this comes after a 12.75% push over the past week, which could paint this minor seatback as a buy signal. Especially since analysts like Ali Martinez predict another bull run, similar to 2021’s ATH, when $DOGE experienced a 13,000% pump. If you want to join the $DOGE run, go to your favorite exchange and refill your portfolio today. 3. Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) – Bitcoin’s Layer 2 Upgrade Promising Solana-Level Network Performance Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) is Bitcoin’s official Layer 2 upgrade that promises a Solana level performance boost with the help of tools like the Canonical Bridge and Solana Virtual Machine (SVM.) The Canonical Bridge connects the Bitcoin ecosystem to Hyper, minting wrapped Bitcoin into the Layer 2 in numbers equivalent to what the users deposit into the Bitcoin network. The Bitcoin Relay Program is the main transaction validator, ensuring fast throughput. The Canonical Bridge decongests the Bitcoin network and enables near-instant finality, aside from supporting complex DeFi operations like DEXs and staking. The Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) enables lightning-fast execution for DeFi apps and smart contracts for Solana-level throughput and scalability. These tools aim to lift Bitcoin’s traffic cap, currently at 7 transactions per second (TPS), and bring it more in line with modern standards. By comparison, Solana works with 2,909 TPS. $HYPER is in presale now and has already accumulated over $8.3M, making it one of the most successful presales of 2025. Based on the project’s long-term goals, our analysts predict a 2025 price point of $0.02595 by the end of 2025. A five-year prediction could place $HYPER at $0.253 if Hyper sees successful implementation and growing adoption. If you want to support Hyper or simply aim to diversify your portfolio, go to the presale page and buy your $HYPER today. $ETH Bull Incoming? $ETH is stable now, but the asset’s performance in the Asian markets can soon reach the Western shores. Especially in the pro-crypto context created by Trump’s 401(k) order and the GENIUS Act as the modern foundation of the new crypto financial system. More importantly, Bitcoin is still bullish, and if it rallies to another ATH, we could expect the entire market to rally, with projects like Snorter Token ($SNORT) and Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) seeing increased interest. This isn’t financial advice. Do your own research (DYOR) and invest wisely.
Ethereum has surged more than 20% to firmly reclaim the $4,200 price level for the first time since 2021. This interesting move has come off the back of Ethereum’s steady inch higher, and $5,000 could now be the next major psychological barrier. However, while the bullish narrative is currently dominant, a technical analysis posted by crypto trader Orbion suggests that this rally may have an expiration date. The Road To Euphoria And A Full Exit Plan Ethereum’s price action over the past week has seen it outperform many cryptocurrencies, and confidence is steadily returning to the leading altcoin. However, Orbion took to the social media platform X to share that he had already sold 33% of his Ethereum holdings, and the best time to fully exit every Ethereum position is in the next two months. Related Reading: Pundit Says Ethereum Price Is Headed For $9,000 After This Broadening Wedge Retest His post was accompanied by a well-known cheat sheet on market cycles. According to the sheet, Ethereum’s current position is in the Optimism and Ethereum dominance phase. The Optimism phase is the point in a rally when market participants begin to believe that the uptrend is truly sustainable. Notably, the chart’s projection is a climb to the Market Peak/Euphoria phase by the end of October 2025. It is at this point that traders can expect an extreme overvaluation and a looming downturn. Drawing similarities to similar patterns in 2017 and 2021, Orbion stated that his plan is to sell the remainder of his ETH holdings by October 31, although the price will start tapering off in late September. Projecting Ethereum’s Next Move According to the projection on the chart above, Ethereum still has a long way to go before it reaches a defined peak. That is to say, there’s a high possibility that Ethereum could finally break above its 2021 all-time high of $4,878. Related Reading: Ethereum Price Crash Or Rebound? Why $4,000 Holds The Key It will be interesting to see how the Ethereum price rally plays out in the next two months before it reaches a new peak. Based on the cheat sheet, Ethereum could see its most aggressive price acceleration in the weeks leading up to Halloween on October 31. This final leg of the rally will be driven by euphoria-fueled buying, where investors feel unstoppable and certain of a continued rally, much like the 2021 cycle. Even if Ethereum were to start crashing by late October, its current trajectory suggests it could break $5,000 before it reaches a new peak. Notably, Orbion’s short-term target for ETH is in the $5,800 to $6,000 range if momentum continues. Technical analyses show Ethereum price targets ranging from $4,800 to as high as $12,000. According to a technical analysis from crypto analyst Titan of Crypto, Ethereum is currently tracing out the same pattern as Bitcoin in 2020 and is on a path to reach $12,000. At the time of writing, Ethereum is trading at $4,270, up by 20.5% in the past seven days. Featured image from iStock, chart from Tradingview.com

Биткоин (BTC) в настоящее время колеблется около отметки $118 000 после умеренного восстановления за последнюю неделю, что принесло рост цены на 4,17%. В преддверии новой недели известный аналитик под ником KillaXBT поделился техническим анализом текущей структуры рынка биткоина, а также возможными сценариями движения цены. Месячное открытие укрепляет прогноз по BTC, но будьте осторожны с “охотой за ликвидностью”, говорит аналитик В публикации в социальной сети от 9 августа KillaXBT представил недельный обзор движения цены биткоина за первую неделю августа и поделился дальнейшими ожиданиями. По его словам, актив начал месяц с сильной технической позиции, превратив уровень месячного открытия на $115 752 в поддержку. Это сигнал, который трейдеры часто воспринимают как бычий. Однако аналитик отметил, что исторически в начале нового месяца биткоин часто делает резкий прокол вверх или вниз, формируя одну из теней месячной свечи — явление, которое трейдеры называют “ловушкой месячного открытия”. Поэтому текущая ситуация заставляет участников рынка внимательно следить за тем, приведет ли это к устойчивому восходящему тренду или к коррекции, вызванной сбором ликвидности, перед продолжением роста. Источник: @KillaXBT С точки зрения ликвидности, криптоаналитик также отметил, что за пределами уровня $120 000 накапливаются значительные двухнедельные ликвидации по BTC. Эта зона совпадает с уровнем открытия прошлой недели ($119 414), что делает ее высоковероятной целью, если бычья структура сохранится. В настоящий момент BTC тестирует нисходящую линию тренда на младшем таймфрейме (LTF). KillaXBT поясняет, что подтвержденный пробой выше этой линии может открыть путь к уверенному движению в сторону $120 000 и выше, при этом трейдеры остаются настороженными из-за возможной “охоты за ликвидностью”, которая может кратковременно снизить цену перед возобновлением роста. Сейчас для трейдеров вырисовываются два основных сценария. Первый: BTC сохраняет бычью структуру, продолжая рост к зоне ликвидности в районе $120 000 и, возможно, к месячному максимуму (ATH) на уровне $123 186. Этот сценарий соответствует текущей технической картине, которая не демонстрирует признаков немедленного разворота вниз.Второй: биткоину не удается пробиться выше, он формирует пониженную вершину и опускается ниже $115 700. В этом случае следующая крупная зона поддержки находится в диапазоне $110 000–$112 000, где расположен месячный разрыв справедливой стоимости (FVG) на $111 955. На данный момент KillaXBT считает, что первый сценарий выглядит более вероятным, так как рынок удерживает бычий импульс, и при отсутствии четких медвежьих сигналов аналитик ожидает, что BTC в ближайшие дни попытается обновить максимумы. Однако он также предупреждает, что в начале недели, особенно в понедельник или вторник, возможна краткосрочная просадка для ликвидации чрезмерно закредитованных лонгов перед новым ростом.

Bitcoin surged past the $120,000 mark, reaching an intraday high of $122,300 — just shy of its all-time high at $123,000. The move marks a strong bullish continuation after weeks of upward momentum, fueling hopes among traders that a new record could be imminent. However, seasoned investors are approaching the rally with caution, warning that current price action could represent a relief rally before another consolidation phase. Related Reading: Altseason Still On Hold – Metrics Reveal BTC Outpaces Large, Mid, Small Caps Fresh data from CryptoQuant adds a layer of complexity to the market outlook. After a sharp rise in average weekly open interest to over 20% — peaking on July 14 — the metric has since dropped significantly, now turning negative. This shift suggests that short-term risk appetite has diminished, potentially reducing speculative momentum in the near term. While open interest declines are not inherently bearish, they can indicate a cooling phase after periods of aggressive leverage. In some cases, such pullbacks in open interest, especially when paired with increased liquidations, have preceded attractive buying opportunities. For now, Bitcoin’s position near record highs offers both promise and risk, with the next few sessions likely to determine whether the market pushes higher or pauses for consolidation. Open Interest Signals Cooling Risk Appetite Top analyst Darkfost has shared fresh market insights, highlighting a notable shift in Bitcoin’s derivatives landscape. According to his analysis, the current weekly average for open interest change sits at -2.2%, marking a sharp reversal from the +20% levels seen just weeks ago. This drop signals that short-term risk appetite among traders has clearly diminished, with many participants reducing leveraged positions after an extended bullish run. Liquidations are a key factor in this development. Darkfost points out that when open interest experiences a sharp short-term drop alongside a spike in liquidations, it often presents a window for profitable long entries. This setup typically occurs when overleveraged positions are wiped out, allowing stronger hands to accumulate at more favorable levels. While not a precise buy signal, it remains a valuable tool for gauging market conditions and identifying potentially favorable entry zones. The current backdrop is particularly intriguing as Ethereum pushes toward all-time highs, drawing increased attention to the broader crypto market. Bitcoin’s stability above the $120K level, combined with improving sentiment across altcoins, sets the stage for potentially strong follow-through in the coming weeks. However, traders will be watching derivatives metrics closely for signs of renewed leverage or further cooling before committing to larger positions. Related Reading: Bitcoin Holds Strong Near All-Time High – Market Not Overheated Yet, Data Shows Bitcoin Tests Key Resistance Just Below All-Time High Bitcoin has surged to $121,337, marking a strong breakout from its recent consolidation phase and pushing to its highest level since setting the all-time high at $123K. The daily chart shows a decisive move above the $119K zone, confirming bullish momentum after holding support at the 50-day moving average near $114,155. This rally brings BTC within striking distance of the $123,217–$124,000 resistance area, a critical zone that previously capped upside attempts in July. A clean break and daily close above this level could open the door for a new all-time high, potentially triggering further upside momentum as traders chase the breakout. Related Reading: Ethereum Exchange Balances Decline To 18.8M ETH: Smart Money Drains Supply With Ethereum nearing its own record highs and altcoins showing renewed strength, Bitcoin’s performance in the coming sessions will be pivotal for broader market sentiment.
