Bitcoin has seen a retrace back below the $120,000 level as data shows the Coinbase Premium Gap has dropped into the negative zone. Bitcoin Coinbase Premium Gap Has Plummeted Into The Red Region In a new post on X, CryptoQuant community analyst Maartunn has talked about the latest trend in the Bitcoin Coinbase Premium Gap. This indicator measures the difference between the BTC price listed on Coinbase (USD pair) and that on Binance (USDT pair). The former cryptocurrency exchange is popularly used by American investors, especially the large institutional entities, while the latter is the destination of the global investors. As such, the Coinbase Premium Gap tells us about how the buying or selling behaviors differ between US-based and foreign whales. Related Reading: Bitcoin-Money Supply Link Is A Myth, Glassnode Researcher Reveals When the metric has a positive value, it means the cryptocurrency is going for a higher price on Coinbase than Binance. Such a trend suggests the users of the former are applying a higher buying pressure or lower selling pressure as compared to the traders of the latter. On the other hand, the indicator registering a negative value implies the American investors may be selling more relative to global investors, which has brought the price on Coinbase lower than on Binance. Now, here is a chart that shows the trend in the Bitcoin Coinbase Premium Gap over the past day: As displayed in the above graph, the Bitcoin Coinbase Premium Gap was above the zero mark when BTC’s recovery run to the $122,000 level occurred, indicating that US-based whales were buying and helping fuel the surge. While BTC was at its high, however, the indicator’s value saw a sharp reversal and plunged into the negative zone. What has followed these red levels in the metric is a retrace for the coin to prices below $120,000. Thus, it seems the trend in the Coinbase Premium Gap foreshadowed the price action. This pattern is something that has been witnessed a lot since the start of 2024, as American institutional entities have been in the driving seat. Given the price action of the past day, it seems the influence of these investors remains strong, so the Bitcoin Coinbase Premium Gap could be worth keeping an eye on, as where it will go next may also carry hints about the cryptocurrency’s future trajectory.

XRP price is correcting gains below the $3.25 zone. The price is consolidating and might dip below the $3.080 support zone in the near term. XRP price is struggling to settle above the $3.250 zone. The price is now trading below $3.250 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There was a break below a key contracting triangle with support at $3.20 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair (data source from Kraken).

On Monday, the total crypto market capitalization (TOTAL) reached an all-time high (ATH) of $4.03 trillion, driven by significant gains in leading cryptocurrencies Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), reflecting renewed optimism in the crypto space fueled by favorable regulatory developments from the US. Pro-Crypto Regulations Fuel Market Optimism Ethereum notably broke through the $4,000 barrier for the first time in almost nine months, closing the gap to its all-time high of $4,878, now just 13% away. This upward momentum has been attributed to growing interest in cryptocurrencies, bolstered by pro-crypto regulatory measures that have enhanced market sentiment. Related Reading: BlackRock Addresses Burning XRP ETF Question: Is A Filing Coming Or Not? Notably, the US has spearheaded a new wave of pro-crypto regulations, sparking a surge in investment in the digital asset market with the passage and signing of the first crypto bill, the GENIUS Act. This new legislation aims to create a more favorable regulatory framework for stablecoins, which are dollar-pegged cryptocurrencies. Ethereum plays a key role in the stablecoin market, as a large portion of stablecoin activity occurs on its blockchain. In contrast, Bitcoin approached its current record high of $123,000 earlier in the day but ultimately fell short of the critical $120,000 mark, which is seen as essential for entering a new price discovery phase. Despite this, the overall market sentiment remains buoyant, particularly in light of recent executive orders from President Donald Trump aimed at fostering a more favorable environment for digital assets. Ethereum Could Hit $8,000 On Thursday, Trump issued directives calling for a reevaluation of federal guidance on integrating cryptocurrencies into employer-sponsored retirement plans like 401(k)s. Analysts view this shift as a potential boom for the crypto industry, especially considering that 401(k) assets totaled $8.7 trillion in the first quarter of 2025, according to the Investment Company Institute. As such, Ethereum has outperformed many of its peers among the top ten cryptocurrencies, posting gains of just over 13% in the past week. The only token to surpass this growth has been Cronos (CRO), which saw an 18% rally during the same period. Related Reading: AI Models Predict Ethereum Cycle Top At $15,000: Analyst Crypto analyst Doctor Profit has weighed in on Ethereum’s performance, suggesting that breaking the $4,000 barrier signals a massive breakout from an ascending triangle pattern on the monthly chart. This pattern is considered bullish, indicating that Ethereum could continue its upward trajectory in the coming months. In a recent analysis shared on X (formerly Twitter), Doctor Profit projected that Ethereum might reach new heights, potentially hitting $8,000. If this forecast holds true, it would represent an impressive 88% increase from ETH’s current trading price of $4,250 as of late Monday. Featured image from DALL-E, chart from TradingView.com
Bitcoin has continued its upward momentum over the past week, reclaiming price levels close to its all-time high. At the time of writing, the cryptocurrency is trading above $120,000, only a short distance from the record of more than $123,000. Over the last seven days, the asset has posted a gain of approximately 5.1%, placing it among the stronger performers in the digital asset market. Amid the price movement, on-chain data from the TRON network’s USDT transfers is offering insights into current market behavior. CryptoQuant contributor Amr Taha analyzed TRC-20 USDT transaction flows and identified patterns that may serve as potential indicators of Bitcoin price shifts. By categorizing transactions into six size groups, ranging from retail trades of $100 to large “super whale” transfers exceeding $10 million, the analysis aims to distinguish between everyday market activity and institutional-scale transactions. Related Reading: Bitcoin Bull Run At Risk? Binance Whale-To-Exchange Flow Signals Price Correction Large USDT Transfers as a Market Signal Taha’s research notes that when transactions exceeding $10 million in USDT on the TRON network surpass $5 billion in a single day, this often coincides with significant profit-taking in Bitcoin. Such activity typically involves converting BTC into USDT, followed by transferring the stablecoins to private wallets, reducing buying pressure in the spot market. Past examples include July 16, when $10M+ USDT transfers reached $5.2 billion, followed by a 4.5% decline in BTC, and July 23, when $5.8 billion in similar transfers preceded a 3.8% drop within 48 hours. Current data, however, shows a lack of such large-scale transactions, suggesting that major holders are not actively selling into stablecoins at present. This absence of substantial whale outflows may indicate that large investors are maintaining positions rather than exiting the market. Bitcoin Shifting Market Participation and Potential Breakout Scenarios A separate analysis from CryptoQuant’s ShayanMarkets examined the average executed order size in Bitcoin futures markets, providing another perspective on participation trends. This metric, which divides total traded volume by the number of executed orders, helps identify whether activity is being driven by retail participants or larger, institutional traders. Data from late 2024 and early 2025 showed periods of whale dominance, which coincided with strong rallies. In contrast, recent weeks have seen a rise in smaller, retail-sized orders, while whale-driven trades have diminished. This shift suggests that large-scale buyers may be holding positions acquired at lower price levels or waiting for new market conditions before re-entering with significant volume. Related Reading: Bitcoin Futures Bias Turns Neutral As OI Net Position Hits Zero – Details Historically, extended whale dominance near market highs has often been associated with distribution phases, where large holders take profits. The current absence of such behavior leaves open the possibility of a bullish breakout above Bitcoin’s previous all-time high, provided that renewed selling pressure from large investors does not emerge in the near term.

The Trump family’s crypto venture, World Liberty Financial, recently announced a plan to raise $1.5 billion through a partnership with ALT5 Sigma Corporation, a publicly listed company in the US. According to a report by Fortune, the funds will be utilized for the acquisition of WLFI, the native token of World Liberty Financial. ALT5 Sigma revealed that it intends to sell a combination of 200 million new and existing shares, directing the proceeds toward this purchase. Trump Family Ventures Deeper Into Crypto This initiative is part of a broader strategy by the Trump family to leverage the growing trend of utilizing publicly traded or blank-check companies to provide investors with greater access to cryptocurrencies. This approach gained traction thanks to figures like Michael Saylor, who transformed Strategy (previously MicroStrategy) into a cryptocurrency powerhouse by adding substantial amounts of Bitcoin (BTC) to its balance sheet. Related Reading: XRP Price Could Explode To $3.8 Amid Trend Continuation The landscape has since seen a surge of similar ventures. Beyond Bitcoin, various treasury companies have emerged for cryptocurrencies such as Ethereum (ETH), Sui (SUI), Binance Coin (BNB) and Ethena (ENA) each promoting their stocks as a means for traditional investors to engage with the crypto market. As part of this expansion, Zach Witkoff, the CEO of World Liberty and son of prominent businessman Steve Witkoff, will take on the role of chairman at ALT5 Sigma. Eric Trump, another son of President Donald Trump and co-founder of World Liberty, will join the board, alongside Zak Folkman, the company’s chief operating officer (COO), who will serve as a board observer. World Liberty Financial To Make Tokens Tradable This move marks the latest chapter in the Trump family’s growing involvement in cryptocurrency. In addition to World Liberty’s initiatives, Donald and Melania Trump launched their own memecoins, TRUMP and MELANIA, earlier this year. Meanwhile, Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. have backed World Liberty Financial and established a Bitcoin mining operation under American Bitcoin in partnership with Hut 8.

The proposal to initiate tradability garnered an impressive 99.94% approval from approximately 20,900 votes cast. WLFI Holders expressed their motivations for supporting this move, citing anticipated price increases and a desire to align their investments with their support for Trump.

The cryptocurrency market has seen a notable rebound in the lead-up to Tuesday’s US Consumer Price Index (CPI) release, with Bitcoin climbing above $122,000 over the weekend and Ethereum rising by nearly 20% in the past week to more than $4,300. The gains have coincided with improved sentiment in US equity markets, with QCP Capital noting that the correlation between Bitcoin and equity performance has strengthened since mid-July. Total market capitalization for digital assets also surged above $4.1 trillion, reflecting an increase on Monday. The upcoming CPI report is being closely monitored for signs of inflationary trends. Consensus expectations point to a year-over-year increase of 10 basis points in headline inflation, bringing it to 2.8%. Related Reading: Bitcoin Open Interest Flips Negative After July Peak – Risk Appetite Cools QCP Capital stated that a softer reading could reinforce expectations for a Federal Reserve rate cut in September, while a higher-than-expected figure might disrupt the rally in risk assets, including cryptocurrencies. Analysts suggest that the market is preparing for both outcomes, with positioning in derivatives markets indicating hedging on the downside while still leaving room for upward momentum. Bitcoin and ETH Derivatives Data Signals Market Caution Options market activity shows that traders are actively preparing for volatility around the CPI release. QCP Capital highlighted demand for short-dated Bitcoin puts in the $115,000–$118,000 range, suggesting that some market participants are protecting against a potential price drop. At the same time, there has been continued short-call covering, indicating reduced willingness to bet against further gains. Aggregated Bitcoin options open interest stands at $43 billion, close to the $49 billion peak recorded in July. The firm expects implied volatility to remain elevated until the CPI release, after which it could compress if Bitcoin fails to break through resistance levels. Ethereum options activity is similarly strong, with open interest at $13.9 billion, the highest level so far in 2025 and approaching the all-time high of $14.6 billion set in March 2024. Elevated open interest in both BTC and ETH suggests that traders are heavily engaged in positioning around macroeconomic events, with the CPI print seen as a key catalyst for short-term price action. Institutional Flows and Longer-Term Outlook Beyond derivatives markets, institutional activity and flows into spot ETFs remain a focal point for analysts. CoinShares data shows that digital asset investment products saw $571 million in net inflows last week, driven by gains in both Bitcoin and Ethereum. QCP Capital noted that the market has absorbed recent large-scale sales from long-term holders without a breakdown in price trends, indicating resilience in market structure.

The crypto market kicked off the week with bullish momentum as LayerZero Foundation revealed a $110 million proposal to acquire the Stargate cross-chain bridge. This sparked a sharp rally in both LayerZero’s ZRO token and Stargate’s STG token, which surged 26% and 20% respectively in the past 24 hours. Related Reading: Solana Faces Mid-Channel Standoff As Hourly Weakness Challenges Bullish Structure The proposal, posted on Stargate DAO’s forum, seeks to dissolve the Stargate DAO and phase out the STG token. In its place, holders would swap each STG for 0.08634 ZRO through a fixed-rate redemption contract. This shift would make ZRO the sole token powering the merged ecosystem while maintaining uninterrupted bridge. If approved, LayerZero will assume full control over Stargate’s operations, with revenues redirected toward ZRO buybacks, a move intended to strengthen the token’s long-term value. LayerZero (ZRO) Price Outlook Amid Bullish Momentum Following the announcement, ZRO climbed to $2.30, accompanied by a 540% surge in trading volume. Analysts suggest that breaking above $2.80 could pave the way toward the $3 psychological level. In parallel, the STG token experienced a rise of over 20% within the last 24 hours, reaching $0.20 at present. This positive movement reflects investor confidence in the token’s prospective performance in the cryptosphere. While enthusiasm is high, the proposal has drawn mixed reactions from STG holders, with some arguing the swap undervalues their tokens and removes staking rewards. The proposal requires a 70% supermajority vote from the DAO to pass, with community discussions underway. ZRO's price trends to the upside on the daily chart. Source: ZROUSD on Tradingview Strategic Push for a Unified Cross-Chain Ecosystem LayerZero’s acquisition proposal is structured as a strategic alignment intended to combine governance, improve technical efficiency, and support ongoing development. Stargate, launched by LayerZero in 2022, has processed over $70 billion in cross-chain transactions but has struggled to translate its network activity into sustained STG token growth. CEO Bryan Pellegrino described the plan as a “single unified direction” for both projects, allowing Stargate to execute on an ambitious roadmap while benefiting from LayerZero’s broader infrastructure.

In his latest market update, the crypto analyst known as VisionPulsed tempers bullish hopes for Dogecoin, arguing that a move to the long-sought $1 mark will require a precise alignment of market forces that has yet to materialize. While acknowledging speculative bursts are possible, he warned that the broader setup remains incomplete, keeping the meme coin’s parabolic breakout on hold. How Can Dogecoin Reach $1? He laid out a data-driven case: unless Ethereum breaks decisively to new highs while the halving-cycle timing extension and global M2 liquidity backdrop stay supportive, Dogecoin’s next parabolic leg remains out of reach. The immediate backdrop, he notes, is a bounce in Bitcoin dominance that again sidelined the prospect of a broad altcoin rally. Ethereum has improved the setup by making a new cycle high and clearing the $4,000 zone, but it now sits wedged beneath the final two technical hurdles from 2021—“the 2021 high in May and the 2021 high, which is the all-time high.” He frames the sequence plainly: “Once ETH breaks this high, ETH has officially gone onto a bull market.” Until that confirmation arrives, he treats talk of an imminent “Doge to the moon” phase as premature. Related Reading: Dogecoin Doomed To Chop? Analyst Sees $0.90–$1.50 Top—But Not Anytime Soon Price action on Dogecoin itself has not helped the cause. Vision Pulsed highlights a conspicuous topping-tail candle that formed after traders “piled in,” calling it “definitely not the candle you want to see.” He points to a prior instance where a similar wick preceded a local reversal, using it to caution against extrapolating short squeezes into sustainable trend. In his read, Dogecoin remains in a broad, choppy accumulation—an area he sketches as a bottoming process that can include fakeouts on both sides—rather than a confirmed uptrend. Even in a constructive scenario, he warns that failure of the broader conditions could force “one more” downside sweep before any genuine altseason takes hold. Timing is a second pillar of his analysis. He flags the 486-day mark from the most recent Bitcoin halving as a recurring inflection in prior cycles. “We are fastly approaching what would be considered the final bull-run push in 2021… 486 days from the halving,” he says, recalling that both of the last two cycles saw a sizable correction and then a final rally around that window. With April 19, 2024 as the halving date, August 18, 2025 is the analogous threshold this time—a date he treats as context, not destiny. “There are no guarantees,” he stresses, reflecting on the limits of historical rhyme. Related Reading: Dogecoin Is Right Where Past Bull Runs Have Taken Off: Analyst Liquidity—through the lens of the popular M2 money supply overlay—remains supportive, but not determinative in his view. He acknowledges that “everyone and their mother” watches M2 and that it currently “says there is a chance for a rally in this time period.” Yet he underscores that the relationship is not perpetual: in past cycles, M2 continued higher even as crypto rolled into a bear market. The takeaway is pragmatic and non-dogmatic: “We’ll use it until it doesn’t work,” but it cannot be a guarantee of an extended bull run on its own. From this macro-and-liquidity scaffold, he distills a clear gating function for Dogecoin’s headline target. For a sustained advance toward one dollar, three conditions should align: Ethereum must break above its 2021 highs to confirm a fresh bull market; the halving-cycle “extension” window—centered on the ~486-day post-halving rhythm—needs to open the historical runway for a terminal rally; and global M2 expansion needs to stay supportive enough to keep risk appetite. Inside Dogecoin’s own tape, he allows for meaningful volatility without structural change. “Could we have bullish swings back and forth to 30 cents? Sure,” he says, framing such moves as tradable ranges within a larger consolidation rather than the start of the terminal advance. What would convert that range into trend is not a single candlestick or an isolated breakout, but the multi-asset alignment he repeats throughout the update. At press time, DOGE traded at $0.22.
