Bitcoin has seen a rebound since retesting the short-term holder Realized Price, a sign that this historical on-chain support may be holding. Bitcoin Short-Term Holder Realized Price Just Acted As Support As explained by CryptoQuant author IT Tech in an X post, Bitcoin found support around the short-term holder Realized Price during the latest dip. The “Realized Price” here refers to an on-chain indicator that measures the cost basis of the average investor on the BTC network. Related Reading: Bitcoin HODLers Spend 97,000 BTC—Biggest Move This Year When the price of the cryptocurrency is above this metric, it means the holders as a whole are in a state of net unrealized profit. On the other hand, it being under the indicator implies the overall market is in the red. In the context of the current topic, the Realized Price of only a specific segment of investors is of interest: the short-term holders (STHs). This cohort includes the holders who purchased their coins within the past 155 days. The STHs make up for one of the two main divisions of the Bitcoin market done on the basis of holding time, with the other side being known as the long-term holders (LTHs). Where these groups differ is that the investors of the former tend to be weak hands who make panic moves whenever volatility emerges in the sector, while the latter’s members show high-conviction behavior. To any investor, their cost basis is an important level and since the STHs are particularly fickle, they usually show some kind of reaction when their Realized Price gets retested. This has led to the asset’s price observing various interactions with this metric in the past. One such interaction may have occurred during the past day, as the below chart shared by the analyst suggests. As displayed in the above graph, the Bitcoin STH Realized Price currently sits around $107,500. During BTC’s latest dip, its price slightly went under this mark, but found a rebound to higher levels. Generally, STHs buy to defend their cost basis when the sentiment among them is bullish. In such periods, they believe a price decline to their break-even mark to be a “dip-buying” opportunity Considering the fact that the asset has been able to find support at the STH Realized Price, it would appear that the STHs still think a bullish regime is on. That said, Bitcoin has only seen a small rebound for now, so it only remains to be seen whether the asset will remain above the level or if another retest would occur.

In the scenario that a breakdown of the metric occurs, the cryptocurrency may face a shift to a bearish trend in the short-term, as it took place in February of this year.

Bitcoin price is still showing bearish signs below $112,000. BTC is now attempting to recover and might face hurdles near the $110,500 level. Bitcoin started a fresh decline below the $112,000 zone. The price is trading below $110,500 and the 100 hourly Simple moving average. There was a break above a short-term contracting triangle with resistance at $108,800 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair (data feed from Kraken). The pair might start another decline if it stays below the $110,500 zone. Bitcoin Price Starts Consolidation Bitcoin price attempted a fresh recovery wave from the $107,350 zone. BTC was able to climb above the $108,200 and $108,400 resistance levels. The price cleared the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the key drop from the $113,457 swing high to the $107,352 low. Besides, there was a break above a short-term contracting triangle with resistance at $108,800 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair. However, the bears are still active near $109,500. The price is now consolidating near $109,500. Bitcoin is now trading below $110,000 and the 100 hourly Simple moving average. Immediate resistance on the upside is near the $109,500 level. The first key resistance is near the $110,200 level. The next resistance could be $110,500 or the 50% Fib retracement level of the key drop from the $113,457 swing high to the $107,352 low. A close above the $110,500 resistance might send the price further higher. In the stated case, the price could rise and test the $111,650 resistance level. Any more gains might send the price toward the $112,500 level. The main target could be $113,500. Another Decline In BTC? If Bitcoin fails to rise above the $110,500 resistance zone, it could start a fresh decline. Immediate support is near the $108,800 level. The first major support is near the $108,200 level. The next support is now near the $107,350 zone. Any more losses might send the price toward the $106,500 support in the near term. The main support sits at $105,500, below which BTC might decline sharply. Technical indicators: Hourly MACD – The MACD is now losing pace in the bearish zone. Hourly RSI (Relative Strength Index) – The RSI for BTC/USD is now above the 50 level. Major Support Levels – $108,800, followed by $108,000. Major Resistance Levels – $109,500 and $110,500.

The recent downturn in Bitcoin prices has raised eyebrows among market analysts, with one prominent figure warning that the leading cryptocurrency could face a significant decline toward the $90,000 mark in the coming months. As Bitcoin opened the month officially dropping below critical support levels, the market’s reaction remains tepid, suggesting that many investors have yet to fully grasp the severity of the situation. BTC’s Last Line Of Defense In a recent post on X (formerly Twitter), market analyst Doctor Profit highlighted key price levels associated with various holder groups: $115,600 for 1 million holders, $113,600 for 3 million holders, and approximately $107,000 for 6 million holders. Related Reading: Ethereum Demand Stays Strong As Exchange Reserves Keep Falling – Details As Bitcoin traded below all these thresholds earlier on Monday, Doctor Profit pointed out that every recent buyer is currently facing unrealized losses. However, he cautioned against interpreting this lack of panic as a sign of stability. According to him, “these investors haven’t tasted enough fear yet,” suggesting that market makers may continue to drive prices lower until a genuine capitulation occurs. The analyst emphasized that the $107,000 to $108,900 zone represents the last robust line of defense for Bitcoin. Should this level fail to hold, he predicts a swift movement toward the $90,000 to $95,000 range. Currently, the market’s leading cryptocurrency has recovered above $109,000. It is trading above the last line of support, preventing the analyst’s scenario of an additional 17% price drop for Bitcoin toward its Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) gap placed just above $90,000. Tough September Ahead For Bitcoin Doctor Profit also argued in his analysis that the current market sentiment is characterized by minimal fear and an unrealized loss of only 0.5%, especially when compared to the more significant corrections of 30% or more seen in historical bear markets. He believes that the lack of panic among the cryptocurrency’s holders indicates that many are still too comfortable, which could set the stage for a more severe market correction. Related Reading: XRP Price Action Turns Bearish, Analyst Says Crash Below $1 Is Coming Further complicating matters, Doctor Profit noted the recent behavior of corporate insiders in the stock market, where over 200 alleged insider trades occurred, with not a single buy recorded. If insiders are choosing to offload their stocks during a period of apparent strength, the analyst asserts that this activity could foreshadow similar selling pressure in the Bitcoin and broader cryptocurrency market. As market makers seek to capitalize on this development, Doctor Profit warns that these entities will likely apply pressure until a substantial portion of short-term traders are forced to sell at a loss. Doctor Profit concludes by suggesting that the real pain for Bitcoin holders is still to come, predicting that September will be particularly unkind as the market shifts from denial to a more painful reality.

Bitcoin’s (BTC) recent volatility has unsettled investors, as the largest cryptocurrency by market cap slid by more than five percent over the last two weeks. However, two key on-chain factors indicate that the BTC market structure is largely resilient. Bitcoin Remains Strong Despite Volatility According to a CryptoQuant Quicktake post by contributor XWIN Research Japan, two important on-chain indicators suggest that despite the recent slump in price, the overall market structure remains strong for the flagship cryptocurrency. Related Reading: Bitcoin Sentiment On Binance Turns Bullish – But Is The Market Setting A Trap? The first is Bitcoin’s Delta Cap – a long-term valuation model derived from the difference between Realized Cap and Average Cap – that has historically acted as a reliable floor during major cycles. In early August, BTC traded above this steadily rising line, suggesting that the market is building a stronger foundation compared to previous drawdowns. A rising Delta Cap also signals capital inflows and long-term investor conviction, even during price corrections. The CryptoQuant analyst shared the following chart showing Delta Cap hovering around $739.4 billion. Although BTC is currently trading below this line, a quick move to $120,000 would likely push the price back above it. The second on-chain factor pointing toward resilience in BTC market structure is the Coinbase Premium Gap, which currently stands at +11.6. The high positive value of the metric suggests stronger demand from US institutions, who are accumulating BTC at a premium. For the uninitiated, the Coinbase Premium Gap measures the price difference of Bitcoin between US exchange Coinbase and global exchanges like Binance. A positive gap means Bitcoin trades at a higher price on Coinbase, often signaling stronger US institutional buying demand. Historically, sustained periods of positive premium have preceded major bullish phases, as institutional accumulation drives price discovery. The analyst concluded: Together, these two metrics point toward a constructive setup: Bitcoin consolidating above $100K with strong institutional support and a long-term valuation floor steadily rising. Corrections, rather than being a sign of weakness, appear to be opportunities for accumulation within a robust structural uptrend. Is BTC Out Of The Woods? Although the two aforementioned on-chain indicators point toward strength in BTC market structure, not all analysts are as optimistic. For instance, a fall below $105,000 might send BTC all the way down to $90,000. Related Reading: Analyst Says Bitcoin Price Is Heading To $256K — Here’s When Another analyst recently warned that if BTC loses the support at $108,600 level, then it could fall further to $104,000. A failure to bounce from $104,000 could see BTC test the psychologically important $100,000 level. That said, Bitcoin’s rapidly rising illiquid supply on Binance may play a pivotal role in sending it to a fresh all-time high (ATH). At press time, BTC trades at $109,289, up 0.9% in the past 24 hours. Featured image from Unsplash, charts from CryptoQuant and TradingView.com

Bitcoin long-term holders have seen their spending accelerate recently, with the largest daily spike of the year taking place on Friday. 1 To 2 Years Old Bitcoin Investors Made Up For The Biggest Part Of The Spike In a new post on X, on-chain analytics firm Glassnode has discussed how the activity of the Bitcoin long-term holders (LTHs) has been looking recently. The LTHs refer to the BTC investors who have been holding onto their coins for more than 155 days. Related Reading: Solana Breaks Out Of Ascending Triangle: Is $300 The Next Stop? Statistically, the longer an investor holds onto their coins, the less likely they are to sell them in the future. As such, the LTHs with their relatively long holding time are considered to be resolute entities. Despite their conviction, however, there are times when even members of this cohort decide to part with their coins. Below is a chart shared by Glassnode that shows how spending from this cohort has fluctuated over the past year. As is visible in the graph, the 14-day simple moving average (SMA) of the Bitcoin volume spent by the LTHs has shot up recently, indicating the HODLers are ramping up their transaction activity. The spike in LTH spending has come after a decline in the BTC price. The timing could be a possible sign that some of the diamond hands are starting to think the bull run is winding down, so they have decided to exit with their profits while they still can. Though while Bitcoin LTH transactions are elevated right now, they are still significantly below the levels observed in the last quarter of 2024. Also, the smoothed data of the 14-day SMA may suggest the development corresponds to an increase in spending over a period, but it turns out that it’s largely due to a single large daily spike. From the chart, it’s apparent that this large spike that occurred on Friday involved around 97,000 BTC, worth a whopping $10.6 billion. This is the largest spending day for the LTHs in 2025 so far. Related Reading: Solana Social Media Hype Hits 11-Week High As Price Jumps 16% The LTH group’s 155-day cutoff means that the cohort covers a rather large range, so here’s another chart, this one breaking down how the different segments of the group have contributed to this event: It would appear that the 1 to 2-year-old Bitcoin LTHs provided the largest part of the spending spike at 34,500 BTC. The 6 to 12 months and 3 to 5 years segments are other standouts, each contributing around 16,000 BTC. BTC Price Bitcoin slipped toward $107,000 during the weekend, but it appears the coin has jumped back to start Monday as its price is now trading around $109,500.

World Liberty Financial, a decentralized finance (DeFi) platform supported by President Donald Trump, has officially launched its native token WLFI. Although the debut of WLFI marks a significant step for the Trump family, its initial performance has been lackluster compared to the anticipation it garnered in recent weeks. WLFI Token Faces 12% Decline According to CoinGecko data, the WLFI price had already seen losses of up to 12% by the time of writing. It is attempting to consolidate at the $0.24 mark, which could be the cryptocurrency’s first support line for the rest of the week. Upon launch, WLFI reached a high of $0.33 and a low of $0.23 earlier on Monday’s trading session. This represents a nearly 25% gap from the current trading levels and the recently established all-time high for the World Liberty Financial token. Related Reading: XLM Battles $0.45 Resistance Again: Is This the Breakout That Finally Sparks a Run to $1? Donald Trump Jr., the eldest son of President Donald Trump, took to social media platform X to defend the token’s legitimacy, stating, “This isn’t some memecoin; it’s the governance backbone of a real ecosystem changing how money moves. Freedom + finance + America FIRST.” World Liberty Financial was established last October, with Donald Trump serving as “co-founder emeritus” alongside his three sons. The company initially created 100 billion WLFI tokens, of which about a quarter were sold for a face value of $550 million. However, these tokens were not initially tradeable and could only be used for voting on corporate matters within the company. A vote last month permitted the tokens to be traded, allowing for a nominal total market value of around $6.4 billion based on the current price. In the initial trading phase, 24.7 billion WLFI tokens are set to be available, which includes 7.8 billion tokens earmarked for a newly announced “crypto treasury” company in collaboration with ALT5 Sigma, a Nasdaq-listed fintech company. Critics Raise Conflict Of Interest Concerns Financial disclosures reveal that Donald Trump held approximately 15.75 billion WLFI tokens at the end of last year, which, at the current trading price, would be valued approximately $3.6 billion. However, the Trump family’s involvement in the sector has drawn criticism among Democrats. Senator Elizabeth Warren raised concerns in an April letter, arguing that the Trump family’s financial interests in World Liberty Financial create a conflict of interest that could influence regulatory decisions in favor of cryptocurrency. Related Reading: XRP Price Action Turns Bearish, Analyst Says Crash Below $1 Is Coming Earlier this year, the company also launched a stablecoin named USD1, pegged to the dollar, with a total nominal value of $2.7 billion.

In a video analysis published today, crypto market commentator CryptoInsightUK argues that XRP is poised to front-run the next leg higher across crypto assets, citing a clear structural divergence in liquidity profiles versus Bitcoin and Ethereum on lower-timeframe charts and confirming signals on the XRP/BTC cross. Why XRP Could Outperform BTC And ETH The core of his case is a comparative liquidity mapping across BTC, ETH, and XRP. On Bitcoin, he notes that downside pools around “about 106K” have been a persistent magnet on intraday timeframes, but the daily heatmap still shows heavier clusters above spot. “Now we’re down at these levels, it’s more likely than not that we do continue to take this liquidity here for Bitcoin,” he says. The analyst adds that on the daily timeframe “to the upside there could be a push into this liquidity about $126K–$128K and then we’re starting to see orange liquidity now at $141,000.” He frames any reversal as fast and reflexive: “When we get this move back to the upside… it’s going to be pretty aggressive and people are going to be caught on the wrong side of the trade.” Related Reading: XRP Price Gets $20 Target: The 2 Scenarios That Could Play Out From Here Ethereum’s setup, by contrast, is described as tactically softer after already tapping significant overhead liquidity during its prior pop. On his hourly mapping, the denser pools sit below recent lows, implying a non-trivial risk of mean reversion. “We actually have come back to this sort of area as well and we can see this more dense liquidity again below us sitting at around $4,050ish… the dense liquidity sits about $4,000 to $4,450,” he explains, characterizing ETH as “a bit hands off” for now—while also flagging that today’s US market closure for a public holiday can distort intraday reads. The crux of the bullish divergence is on XRP. On the hourly basis, he shows that XRP has already swept and “taken the red liquidity below,” leaving the “main liquidity… above,” a configuration he views as conducive to an upside reversal if bid momentum emerges. “Is XRP front-running here? Is it going to front-run altcoins?” he asks, pointing to the token’s different placement on the liquidity map relative to BTC and ETH. Extending the lens to relative performance, he highlights the XRP/BTC pair on the four-hour chart, where a prior resistance box has been flipped to support and momentum has repeatedly wicked into oversold territory with constructive reactions. Related Reading: XRP And Dogecoin On The Edge Of ‘Full Port’ Breakout, Says Raoul Pal “When we’re at this level, we want to flip this resistance into support. Currently, we are holding that support,” he says, adding that while such oversold prints do not perfectly call bottoms, “more often than not, they have had a decent reaction, especially when we’re in an area of support like this.” On higher timeframes, he reiterates that XRP’s heavier liquidity sits overhead—interpreting that as dry powder for continuation if spot can reclaim momentum—while BTC still has an attractive path to vacuum upper pools once immediate downside pockets are cleaned. Ethereum, having already consumed much of its near-term upside liquidity, could underperform tactically until its lower clusters are tested or rebalanced. The analyst ties the mosaic together with a cycle view that remains incomplete: “That’s one of the reasons I really don’t think the top is in yet for crypto.” He stresses that the work is descriptive, not prescriptive. “This doesn’t mean that this is my opinion specifically. I’m just showing you charts here,” he says, before reiterating the cycle-long thesis: “I’ve said for the whole cycle, I think XRP is leading.” The coming weeks, he adds, should clarify whether the structural divergence he outlines translates into XRP leadership on the tape as broader market euphoria returns and sidelined traders chase. At press time, XRP traded at $2.77. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com

Polygon (POL) is approaching a critical juncture around the $0.28 mark, where recent momentum meets key resistance. The coming sessions could determine if buyers can push past this level for a breakout or if a pullback toward support near $0.26 will set the stage for consolidation. Polygon Uptrend Faces Resistance At $0.28 GemXBT, in a recent update shared on X, highlighted that Polygon has been trending upward, showing encouraging strength in its recent performance. However, the chart now reveals that the price is approaching a crucial resistance level at $0.28, while finding strong support around $0.26. Related Reading: Last Chance For Polygon As Crypto Analyst Predicts MATIC Price Will Surge Above $1 Again From a technical perspective, the MACD has flashed a bearish crossover, which often signals fading momentum or the possibility of a short-term correction. This development suggests that bulls may need to exert more pressure to sustain the uptrend and push through the $0.28 resistance. Adding to this cautious tone, the RSI is moving downward, indicating weakening buying pressure. If the indicator continues to fall, a dip toward the $0.26 support area could be on the cards before any attempt at a fresh rebound. Interestingly, volume spikes have consistently aligned with price peaks, which signals heightened interest and activity whenever POL approaches key levels. This dynamic underscores the importance of monitoring these technical zones closely, as they could set the stage for either a decisive breakout above resistance or a corrective pullback to retest lower supports. Key Decision Point: Rally Continuation Or Healthy Reset? According to OLUWANIFEMI, Polygon is currently trading at $0.2778, marking an impressive 13.82% gain over the last 24 hours, indicating strong momentum. Building on this, OLUWANIFEMI highlights that the price action is right around the $0.280 resistance zone, which is shaping up to be a critical level for the next move. In his view, if buyers manage to maintain control and push past this barrier with convincing volume, the setup could pave the way for a further breakout to the upside. Related Reading: Polygon Eyes 2x Upsurge From Broadening Wedge Pattern However, he also cautions that not all signals point to immediate strength. Should momentum begin to fade, the expert anticipates a healthy pullback toward the $0.260 support region. A retest of this level, he emphasizes, would not necessarily harm the broader trend but could instead provide the market with room to reset before the next upward leg. Concluding his outlook, the analyst stresses that this makes the current zone particularly important to monitor. Whether Polygon breaks higher or dips into consolidation, he claims sharp traders will be watching closely to position themselves for the next significant move in either direction.

Shiba Inu developers noted that work on LEASH v2 is already underway. The stated goal is to provide a secure migration process, with full verification and protections for token holders. At the same time, the team emphasized that any announcements about LEASH migration outside the official SHIB website should be treated as scams. Warnings Against False Claims Susbarium also pointed out that coordinated groups of bad actors are spreading misinformation across social media through networks of fake accounts. These efforts, according to the watchdog, are aimed at creating confusion and preying on less experienced investors. The Shiba Inu team has made clear there is no official LEASH token on Solana. Claims of migration to that blockchain are fraudulent, and any Solana-based version of LEASH is fake. Only tokens listed on the official SHIB website are valid parts of the ecosystem, the team stated.

New technical analysis suggests that the Dogecoin price is teetering at a pivotal point that could dictate its trajectory for the coming months. According to a crypto analyst, the meme coin faces two stark possibilities: a massive bullish breakout that could catapult DOGE by 800% to a new peak of $1.82, followed by a potential crash that may drag the meme coin’s value below $0.1. Dogecoin Price To See Massive Rally Before Crash In an August 31 post on X social media, crypto analyst KrissPax announced that Dogecoin may be on the verge of a dramatic rally if historical price action and Fibonacci Extensions play out. He projected that DOGE could trade up to the 2.618 Fibonacci level this fall, which aligns with the $1.82 price mark. Such a bullish move would represent a remarkable 800% gain from the meme coin’s current value of roughly $0.218. Related Reading: Pundit Reveals Catalysts That Will Drive Dogecoin Price 150% To $0.55 KrissPax shared a chart showing multiple accumulation zones where Dogecoin held firm despite broader market corrections, indicating that long-term holders could be reinforcing price stability. Although the outlook points to an explosive upside potential for DOGE, the analyst also warned that a looming bearish scenario is still in play. Based on the chart’s trajectory, once Dogecoin hits the projected $1.82 all-time high, the meme coin could experience a steep crash toward $0.09 (0.236 Fibonacci retracement), revisiting its weakest levels since 2023. KrissPax referred to this zone as a “gift” in his chart, suggesting it may offer a chance to accumulate at lower prices. With the price now hovering near key resistance, Dogecoin appears to be approaching a decisive moment that could determine its next target. For investors, this presents a classic high-risk, high-reward setup that could offer strong gains to early accumulation ahead of a breakout or deliver significant losses if bearish pressure sends the meme coin plummeting. Moving forward, KrissPax indicated that Dogecoin’s current low price, relative to its previous peaks, could be an opportunity for traders to add to their portfolios. He warns that hesitating to buy at discounted levels could result in being left out when DOGE begins another steep climb. $0.23 Identified As Key Breakout Threshold In a separate X post, crypto market expert Ali Martinez shared his latest Dogecoin analysis, taking a more bullish stand. He pointed to a symmetrical triangle pattern forming on the Dogecoin 4-hour chart, where price action has been consolidating between tightening support and resistance lines. Based on his analysis, this type of formation often signals an impending breakout, with the direction ultimately determined by which boundary the pattern is breached. Related Reading: Dogecoin Price Is Ready To Launch 100%+ With This Swing Move Martinez has identified $0.23 as the critical level to watch. If Dogecoin breaks above this threshold with convincing volume, it could trigger a fresh bullish rally toward higher resistance levels at $0.25, $0.28, and potentially $0.30. The analyst’s chart projection outlines a step-like ascent once the breakout is confirmed, suggesting a sustainable rally rather than an immediate spike.
