Bitcoin distribution via miners takes a step back, Japan lowers Bitcoin taxes, Cameron Winklevoss believes in a 10x Bitcoin, while $BTC’s profitability hits historic highs. These are just some of the recent developments in the crypto world and we’ll discuss all of them. The first to touch on is Bitcoin’s profitability retesting a historical point after reaching a 92% threshold in Supply in Profit. This matters because, every time Bitcoin pushed above 90%, a bull rune followed. And the same thing is likely to happen now, as Bitcoin stagnates between $114K and $116K. An October bull run would push Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) up the charts faster than ever. The presale is already at $16M, showcasing sustained investor confidence in the project’s future as one of the best altcoins of 2025. Will the New Bitcoin Season Start in October? All evidence points to a rich October. The most recent news crosses the Pacific from Japan, where the government decided to cut Bitcoin taxes by more than half. According to Coin Bureau, Japan slashed Bitcoin taxes from 55% to 20% for 2026, which spells good news for the Asian crypto markets. Especially in the context of Metaplanet increasing its Bitcoin treasury, currently at 20,136 $BTC, and leading by example. But it’s the US taking the helm, with Strategy leading the pro-Bitcoin movement. The company holds the largest Bitcoin treasury in the world with 638,460 $BTC, valued at over $74B, and keeps buying regularly. Pair this with the Bitcoin miners’ shift to HODLing, which increases the asset’s scarcity, and we can see where this is going. The Winklevoss twins, the co-founders of Gemini, believe it’s going to a 10X Bitcoin. The two said they see Bitcoin as ‘Gold 2.0’ and that it can easily reach $1M per coin in 10-years time. This comes just as Gemini hit Nasdaq last Friday, with $28 per share, after raising over $425M during its IPO. The conclusion is almost self-explanatory: Bitcoin will see a fiery end of the year, especially with Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) targeting a Q4 release. How Bitcoin Hyper’s $16M Presale Will Contribute to Bitcoin’s Success Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) is set to accelerate Bitcoin’s success by fixing one of the network’s most pressing issues: its capped performance. Bitcoin is currently limited at 7 transactions per second (3 right now), which is responsible for several problems, like slow and expensive transactions, no scalability, and a fee-based priority system, causing small transactions to sometimes experience hours-long finality times. Bitcoin Hyper changes that with the help of tools like the Canonical Bridge and the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM). The Canonical Bridge connects Hyper to the Bitcoin ecosystem and relies on the Bitcoin Relay Program to confirm incoming transactions. The Bridge then mints the tokens into the Hyper layer, allowing investors to use them within the Hyper ecosystem or withdraw them to the Bitcoin network whenever necessary. Together with SVM, which delivers the ultra-fast execution of smart contracts and DeFi apps, the Canonical Bridge turns Hyper into a fast-performing ecosystem that upgrades Bitcoin to modern standards. The presale is now at over $16M, with Hyper sitting at $0.012925. Based on the project’s utility and scope, we expect $HYPER to experience widespread adoption shortly after launch. Our price prediction for $HYPER is $0.025 by the end of 2025 and $0.25 by the end of 2030. This translates into a 10-year ROI of 1,834%. With the community behind it, $HYPER could very well defy these predictions and go even higher. If you want to invest, read our guide on how to buy $HYPER and get your tokens while they’re still at presale price. Remember, this isn’t financial advice. Do your own research (DYOR) and invest wisely. Authored by Aaron Walker, NewsBTC: Bitcoin Weekend Takeaways & Analysis: Bitcoin Hyper Might Be 2025’s Best Altcoin

Bitcoin is trading at a critical level after a quiet weekend, with bulls managing to defend key supports but struggling to generate fresh upside momentum. The market remains tense as investors await the US Federal Reserve’s interest rate decision scheduled for this Wednesday. A potential 25-basis-point cut is widely anticipated, which many see as a sign of a gradual pivot rather than an aggressive measure. Such a move could spark optimism across risk assets, including crypto, as it signals a more supportive monetary environment without triggering fears of economic distress. Related Reading: Three Whales Buy $205M Ethereum From FalconX: Institutional Flows Accelerate For Bitcoin, the focus is on whether it can sustain its position above critical price levels while macroeconomic factors shape broader sentiment. Data from CryptoQuant shows that BTC is increasingly shifting into “HODL mode,” with supply moving off exchanges and into long-term storage. This pattern suggests that conviction-driven holders are accumulating rather than selling, reducing available liquidity on the market. The combination of macro catalysts and strengthening onchain fundamentals sets the stage for a pivotal week. If Bitcoin holds its ground through the Fed’s announcement, the groundwork could be laid for renewed momentum once volatility surrounding the decision begins to fade. Bitcoin Spot Volumes Halve Bitcoin enters a decisive week with a striking shift in market behavior. Top analyst Axel Adler shared insights showing that in January 2025, spot trading volumes peaked at $636 billion, but by August, that figure had nearly halved to $322 billion. This sharp decline in trading activity on centralized exchanges (CEXs) underscores a market in transition, with participants moving away from active speculation and into what Adler describes as “HODL mode.” The drop in volumes reflects a broader cooling of short-term trading enthusiasm. Investors appear less inclined to chase rapid price moves, instead opting for long-term accumulation strategies. Exchange data supports this, showing consistent outflows as Bitcoin is withdrawn into private wallets and cold storage. Such behavior indicates a growing conviction that BTC’s value lies in its long-term potential rather than short-term trading gains. For Bitcoin, the combination of halving spot activity and mounting anticipation for the Fed’s move creates a tense equilibrium. On one hand, reduced selling pressure from sidelined traders supports price stability. On the other hand, thin liquidity raises the risk of sharper swings once volatility returns. As Bitcoin holds near critical levels, the coming days may determine whether this HODL-driven environment provides the foundation for resilience—or if macro forces spark a more dramatic revaluation across the crypto market. Related Reading: Bitcoin Crawls Up On Weak Supply: 30D Momentum Reveals It Lacks Real Demand Technical Details: Holding Key Demand Bitcoin is currently trading near $114,987, showing signs of consolidation after its recent bounce from early September lows around $110,000. The daily chart highlights that BTC has reclaimed both the 50-day SMA at $114,399 and the 100-day SMA at $112,681, strengthening the short-term bullish outlook. These moving averages now serve as immediate support levels, indicating that buyers are regaining momentum. The key resistance remains at $116,000–$117,000, where BTC has struggled to establish a sustained breakout. A successful close above this zone would clear the path toward retesting the cycle high at $123,217. This level has been a major barrier since July and will be the defining hurdle for bulls in the weeks ahead. Related Reading: Bitcoin Holds 4% Above STH Cost Basis As Mature Bull Cycle Demands Discounts On the downside, support is around $112,500, aligning with the 100-day SMA. A break below this level could reopen the risk of a retest of $110,000, which has acted as a critical floor. The 200-day SMA at $102,652 remains the ultimate safety net in case of deeper corrections.

Dogecoin sits at a technically pivotal juncture, according to crypto analyst CantoneseCat (@cantonmeow), who argues that the next decisive inflection arrives at $0.54—“the final boss”—if the coin can translate an increasingly constructive multi-timeframe structure into weekly acceptance above the Ichimoku cloud. Recording just hours ahead of the weekly close on September 14, he framed DOGE’s backdrop as a steady, methodical rebuild powered by higher-timeframe support retention rather than headline-driven spikes. “I am bullish on Dogecoin,” he said. “There is nothing that I’m really too bearish about here.” Dogecoin Charge Stalls At Ichimoku Wall The crux of his view is that Dogecoin has reclaimed and maintained the key foundations that historically precede its expansion phases. On the monthly chart, price has pushed into the Ichimoku cloud and continues to respect the 20-month moving average as positively sloping support. Related Reading: Dogecoin In Buy Zone: Bulls Eye $0.34 As Immediate Target He emphasized how that moving average has repeatedly served as the trampoline for prior advances: “Every single time whenever it served as support, it’ll push up higher.” In parallel, DOGE has re-engaged the upper Bollinger Band on the weekly timeframe while staying above the 20-week moving average—a configuration that, in his read, signals persistent underlying demand, even if the first contact with overhead resistance produces hesitation. The weekly and two-week Ichimoku structures dominate his near-term roadmap. On the two-week chart, he described “a V-shaped recovery as good as it’s going to get,” with the Kijun acting as the immediate ceiling. On the weekly, he expected the close to determine whether the coin could transition from probing resistance to establishing trend continuation. If the first attempt failed, he said, the setup would remain intact provided the 20-week moving average continued to rise and DOGE preserved its higher-lows structure inside the cloud. The path forward, in his words, remains “one level at a time.” Fibonacci confluence is the second pillar. CantoneseCat places strong weight on the 0.618 logarithmic retracement as the “gatekeeper” for DOGE’s next leg. A confirmed weekly and monthly hold above that line, he contends, would elevate the probability of a measured run into clustered resistance near $0.33 and $0.41, culminating in a test of $0.54. He repeatedly characterized $0.54 as the breakpoint that would flip the narrative from range-bound to trending. “If we close the week above the 0.618, then it does increase the possibility of challenging some of these higher levels at 33 cents, 41 cents and then 54 cents—going to be the final boss,” he said. Clearing that final boss, he added, would put “all-time highs” back on the table without asserting a timeline. The analyst also acknowledged that broader beta still matters at the margin. Bitcoin’s weekly posture around its 20-week Bollinger midline and Tenkan line, he said, often determines whether crypto spends weeks grinding higher or sliding into lower-band purgatory. Into the weekend, he thought BTC was “reclaiming the 20-week,” with a Bollinger squeeze that “anticipate[s] a bigger move to come.” Related Reading: Dogecoin RSI Signal Returns—Last Time It Sparked A 1,700% Rally That matters for DOGE primarily insofar as a constructive BTC backdrop tends to relax risk constraints and allow altcoin momentum to express. But the Dogecoin call stands on its own technical legs: monthly cloud engagement, two-week V-recovery, a positively sloped 20-week average, repeated upper-band taps, and—crucially—the 0.618 hold. CantoneseCat also cautioned against over-interpreting the need for perfect retests. On Bitcoin he noted that markets sometimes “manufacture some kind of news” to justify a sweep, a dynamic that can just as easily play out on DOGE during liquidity hunts. For Dogecoin, that means allowing for shallow backfills toward dynamic supports without declaring the structure broken. His emphasis was on continuation patterns—notably flags—forming above reclaimed levels rather than on deep resets. Targets remain crisp and conditional. The first objective is to maintain acceptance above the 0.618 log Fib on weekly and monthly closes. From there, he expects a stair-step sequence through approximately $0.33 and $0.41 before any credible assault on $0.54. He was explicit that $0.54 is the battlefield that would decide whether Dogecoin can transition from a constructive recovery to a trend acceleration phase. Only a weekly breakout and subsequent conversion of the cloud into support would validate that shift. Dogecoin Weekly Close Is Mixed After the weekly candle printed, CantoneseCat confirmed the mixed—but still constructive—result. “DOGE weekly candle closed below the Ichimoku cloud, but a newly forming weekly candle is now inside the Ichimoku cloud to start the week,” he wrote. In a second note he added: “$DOGE closed the week above 0.618 log fib.” Practically, that outcome preserves the bullish scaffolding while postponing a definitive cloud break by at least another bar. The hold above the 0.618 keeps the $0.33 and $0.41 magnets active; the early push back into the cloud suggests momentum is attempting to re-assert. The thesis remains unchanged: as long as Dogecoin defends the 0.618 and the 20-week moving average continues to slope higher, the market will keep steering toward a confrontation with the $0.54 “final boss.” At press time, DOGE traded at $0.2629.
