SUI is currently sitting in a prime “sweet spot,” where key structural support meets the VWAP average. This alignment establishes a robust technical foundation, indicating a potential breakout as buyers step in at this critical level. Key Support Level Near Aligning With VWAP Average In a post on X, CryptoPulse drew attention to SUI’s recent price action, noting that the token has pulled back into what is described as a “sweet spot” for potential buying opportunities. The price recently touched the VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price) and is currently sitting directly on a critical structural support level around $3.50. Related Reading: SUI MACD Signals Massive Rally Ahead — 400% Price Surge Possible This zone has been a key area of interest for the analyst, who has been patiently waiting for SUI to reach this level before stepping in. The convergence of the VWAP and structural support creates a favorable setup that often precedes strong upward moves. Fundamentally, SUI is also gaining increasing recognition and traction within the cryptocurrency ecosystem. The project’s growing presence, combined with solid chart structure, reinforces the possibility of substantial upside potential over the coming weeks and months. Currently, the analyst is actively averaging into their position, setting an initial target at $5. However, they remain optimistic that this setup can extend much further if momentum continues to build and key technical levels are broken. With both technical and fundamental factors converging, CryptoPulse views SUI as a project worth watching closely for possible significant gains ahead. SUI Chart Shows Promise, But Setup Needs Confirmation Sharing additional insights in a separate post, AlgoCats highlighted that SUI is currently showing a very promising chart setup. The analyst noted that while the structure looks favorable, they are waiting for a more defined formation to develop, which would offer a clearer signal for a long position before considering an entry point. Their target is a key resistance zone that has seen multiple wicks and a previous fake breakout, marking it as a critical level where price action could accelerate.

However, AlgoCats emphasized that patience is key, and they intend to wait for confirmation before making any move. Until that confirmation arrives, the focus remains on observing how SUI behaves around current levels. AlgoCats is prepared to act, but only when the chart provides a clean and confident signal for entry. At the time of writing, SUI was trading at $3.54, demonstrating a nearly 3% increase in the last 24 hours. Its trading volume has increased significantly by more than 33% in the past day.

Despite recent bearish pressure in the crypto market, Dogecoin (DOGE) is showing signs of resilience, holding above the crucial $0.18 support level. After slipping below the $0.20 threshold, DOGE continues to attract bullish speculation, particularly as it approaches a critical RSI level on the 4-hour chart. Related Reading: Against The Grain: Analyst Targets $300K Bitcoin Price—When Will It Happen? Crypto analyst KrissPax highlights that Dogecoin’s RSI is nearing the same level that triggered a 70% rally in June 2025. Back then, DOGE surged from $0.14 to over $0.24 within a month. With the current RSI trajectory aligning closely with past patterns, traders are watching for a similar uptrend, this time potentially pushing DOGE to $0.34, especially with its higher low structure forming. Institutional Accumulation Fuels Dogecoin Optimism Adding fuel to the fire, large Dogecoin whales have accumulated over 1 billion DOGE in just 48 hours, signaling growing confidence among institutional investors. Historically, such accumulation often precedes major price moves. Analysts now speculate that September could see DOGE breaking past key resistance levels at $0.50, with some even eyeing a long-term target of $1 if bullish momentum sustains. Technically, DOGE is also forming a bullish megaphone pattern, which could pave the way for extended upside if confirmed. The coin is also trading within the historical accumulation zone of $0.15–$0.22, a range that previously triggered exponential rallies. DOGE's price moving sideways on the daily chart. Source: DOGEUSD on Tradingview Can Dogecoin (DOGE) Beat Market Expectations in Q3? Though the broader meme coin sector has underperformed this cycle, Dogecoin’s technical setup tells a different story. According to past posts from X analyst Trader Tardigrade, DOGE has already completed two significant bottoms in a classic reversal pattern, with a third forming. If history repeats, this structure could precede another breakout. Additionally, CoinCodex predicts a 16% rise in DOGE price by early September, targeting $0.24. With a neutral sentiment and Fear & Greed Index at 64 (greed), market conditions appear ripe for a rebound. Related Reading: XRP Price To $10,000 Programmed?

On-chain data shows Bitcoin investors who purchased near the price top are choosing to hold even after the latest pullback. Bitcoin Cost Basis Distribution Shows Supply Still Firm Above $118,000 In a new post on X, the on-chain analytics firm Glassnode has discussed the latest trend in the Cost Basis Distribution Heatmap of Bitcoin. This indicator tells us about how much of the asset’s supply was purchased at the various spot price levels. In on-chain analysis, supply cost basis is considered a key concept, as investor behavior is often more pronounced when the cryptocurrency is trading at or near its acquisition level. Related Reading: Bitcoin Neutral Sentiment Didn’t Last Long: Investors Already Greedy Again When the market mood is bullish, investors in profit may see price declines toward their cost basis as ‘dip‘ buying opportunities. This can make levels concentrated with supply under the spot price support boundaries. Similarly, holders in loss can look forward to retests of their acquisition mark so that they can exit the market with their money ‘back.’ This selling can provide resistance to the asset. Now, here is the chart shared by Glassnode that shows the trend in the Bitcoin Cost Basis Distribution Heatmap over the past month: As displayed in the above graph, the Bitcoin Cost Basis Distribution Heatmap formed a sort of “airgap” as a result of the cryptocurrency’s explosive run toward the new all-time high (ATH) last month. Gaps like these form whenever BTC runs by levels too fast for supply to change hands, leaving no dense cost basis centers in that range. The airgap that gets left behind corresponds to a “free for all” space in terms of investor behavior, as there are no major support or resistance levels built into it yet. From the chart, it’s visible that as Bitcoin consolidated earlier, supply gradually became concentrated at levels above $116,000, but below that mark, supply remained thin up to $109,000. With the latest plunge, the asset is finally exploring this airgap, and so far, supply is being filled in. This could be an indication that the investors are interested in buying the dip, which may help form a support cluster in the range. Another interesting trend that’s apparent in the graph is that a notable amount of supply still retains its cost basis between $118,000 and $120,000. While some panic selling has occurred from investors who purchased in this range, a lot of them appear to be choosing to hold strong instead.

Bitcoin mining difficulty has hit the brakes in 2025. For the first time in the network’s history, difficulty is rising at a slow pace and is on track for its slowest annual difficulty growth rate ever recorded. Signals Of Consolidation In The Bitcoin Mining Landscape Bitcoin mining difficulty has risen by 0.5% since June 1st, signaling an extraordinary slowdown in network expansion. According to mining infrastructure firm Blockware’s post on X, the Year-to-Date mining difficulty is up only 16%, which is a stark contrast to prior post-halving years. “2025 is on pace to see the slowest growth in mining difficulty in BTC history,” Blockware added. Related Reading: Bitcoin Mining Power Nears New Record: 7-Day Hashrate Hits 942 EH/s The mining growth will continue to slow down due to the following reasons: The mining Hardware is reaching the limits of Moore’s law. This is approaching the physical and economic limits of chip miniaturization, and making the new generation of miners only marginally more efficient. The physical infrastructure and energy production are the bottlenecks for growth, which is about powering the scaling of mining and ordering machines. Lastly, the data center operators are diversifying into AI and high-performance computing (HPC). However, this is bullish for BTC miners as it means less competition for the 450 BTC that are mined daily. As BTC trends steadily toward six figures, miners are positioned to arbitrage energy and compute, while producing BTC at a substantial discount to its market value. Currently, a Bitmain S21 XP hosted at the Blockware mining site is producing 1 BTC for just $55,000 in electricity costs. This is a significant discount to the market price of BTC. The benefit of BTC mining is the ability to depreciate 100% of the hardware costs and create powerful tax offsets. When combined with Tax benefits and BTC accumulation, this is how generational wealth is created. The Shift Toward Cleaner Energy And Sustainable Mining SustainableBTC has also highlighted on X that in 2017, a Newsweek article warned that Bitcoin was on track to consume all of the world’s energy by 2020. Furthermore, in 2019, the academic paper reported that emissions from BTC mining alone would push global temperatures above 2°C. Related Reading: Bitcoin Mining Hits Jackpot: JPMorgan Unveils Record Profits in Q1 Analysis Since then, there has been a widespread belief that BTC mining is harmful to the environment.

To move the industry forward, there is a need for transparent, auditable data, market-based incentives that align with economic performance, and environmental responsibility.

Bitcoin is undergoing a sharp correction after losing the $115K support level, triggering a wave of uncertainty across the market. Following weeks of consolidation in a tight range, BTC has broken down, fueling debates among analysts about the asset’s short-term direction. Some experts warn that Bitcoin could face further declines as investors take profits and sentiment turns cautious. Others maintain a more optimistic view, suggesting that the correction is a healthy pause before BTC makes another attempt to reclaim its all-time highs. Related Reading: Bitcoin Investors Selling More Aggressively As Bull Cycle Matures: Risk Appetite Fades? Key data from CryptoQuant adds another layer to the analysis. Metrics indicate that Bitcoin is currently in an “overheated” state, with valuation indicators signaling excessive bullish momentum. This suggests that the current consolidation phase may extend further as the market works to reset. Until demand stabilizes and new liquidity flows in, Bitcoin could continue to trade in a volatile environment, with the $112K–$115K range acting as a critical battleground between bulls and bears. With the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy and global macroeconomic factors still in play, Bitcoin’s next major move will likely depend on a combination of market sentiment, institutional demand, and the broader risk appetite of investors in the coming weeks. Bitcoin Stock-to-Flow Model Signals Overvaluation Top analyst Darkfost recently shared insights on X, highlighting the significance of the Bitcoin Stock-to-Flow reversion (S2F) chart as a reliable indicator to assess Bitcoin’s valuation cycles. According to Darkfost, when the S2F metric rises above a value of 3, it typically indicates that Bitcoin is entering an overheated phase, signaling a high probability of a market correction. Currently, the S2F value is approaching this critical threshold, prompting Darkfost to caution investors that it may be an opportune moment to lock in profits before a deeper correction unfolds. Darkfost’s analysis points to historical patterns where similar S2F readings have preceded substantial price declines. In September 2021, Bitcoin dropped from $63,500 to $30,800 after the S2F metric crossed into the overvaluation zone. Again, in November 2021, BTC crashed from $67,000 to $15,800 following a peak S2F signal. More recently, in March 2024, Bitcoin corrected sharply from $73,000 to $54,000 after entering overheated territory. Related Reading: Bitcoin Demand Holds Strong Despite Price Drop: Accumulation Trend Remains Intact This preset alert system, designed for long-term market participants, serves as a strategic tool to help investors navigate Bitcoin’s volatile cycles. While the current correction might seem abrupt, Darkfost emphasizes that such pullbacks are essential for the market to reset and build a sustainable foundation for future growth. Investors are urged to remain cautious and monitor the S2F chart closely as Bitcoin navigates this critical phase. BTC Struggles To Reclaim The $115K Level Bitcoin is attempting to recover after its recent decline, currently trading around $115,019 as shown in the 8-hour chart. The price has managed to bounce from the $112K support zone but faces strong resistance at the $115,724 level, which previously acted as a key support during the two-week consolidation range in July. The 50-day and 100-day simple moving averages (SMAs) are now positioned just above the current price, adding to the overhead resistance. The 200-day SMA around $110,677 continues to provide solid support, keeping the overall uptrend intact for now. However, BTC must reclaim the $115,724 level and consolidate above it to regain bullish momentum. Related Reading: Bitcoin Inflows To Binance Accelerate: Investor Behavior Shifts After Months Of Decline Volume has been relatively low during the recent bounce, suggesting a lack of strong buying conviction. If Bitcoin fails to break above the $115K resistance decisively, it risks falling back to test the $112K zone again. On the upside, a successful breakout above $115,724 could open the path to retest the $122,077 all-time high resistance. Featured image from Dall-E, chart from TradingView

The debate around Bitcoin’s top for this cycle has been a major topic as market participants eye potential peaks later this year. Although some analysts have forecasted a blow-off top in October or November, Quinten Francois, a respected crypto market commentator, strongly disagrees. Drawing from historical data and market psychology, Francois believes that the current bull market is far from over and that expectations for a Q4 2025 top are “just not going to happen.” November Is Too Soon For A Bitcoin Peak Taking to the social media platform X, Bitcoin commentator Quinten argued that any expectations for a full market peak by November completely overlook how previous cycles have unfolded. He pointed out that in both 2017 and 2021, the altseason, the period when altcoins outperform Bitcoin, began in Q1 of those respective bull market years. Related Reading: Altcoin Season Loading As Bitcoin Dominance Crashes Toward 60% From that point, the retail-driven psychological cycle took roughly 9 to 12 months to fully play out. This time around, the analyst suggests that altseason hasn’t even started in earnest. The ETH/BTC ratio, often used as the criteria for altseason momentum, is only just beginning to reverse. Given this timing, Quinten noted that a cycle top occurring within the next two or three months is nearly impossible. The moment altseason begins marks the entry of broad retail participation, and from that point onward, it typically takes 9 to 12 months for euphoria and market excess to reach a crescendo. If history is any guide, the current psychological cycle is still in its early stages because the retail cycle hasn’t properly kicked in yet. This would push a market peak into the second or third quarter of 2026 at the earliest. Altcoin Cycle Will Determine If Peak Is Possible The only condition that could allow for a major top this year, Quinten admitted, would be an absence of an altcoin cycle altogether. That scenario, or a catastrophic black swan event, could short-circuit the retail cycle and lead to an earlier-than-usual top. However, the possibility of this happening is very low, and this psychological cycle simply cannot play out much quicker than 9-12 months. Related Reading: Altcoin Season Index Spikes Above 30, But Bitcoin Dominance Remains High, What Next? As such, Bitcoin’s price action is most likely to play out like it has always done. “If things unfold as they historically have (we can only count on this), then it’s just not going to happen,” he said. Although the analyst did not give a price target for the expected Bitcoin top for this cycle, other technical analysts have pointed to targets between $140,000 and $200,000. In another post on the social media platform, Quinten noted that Bitcoin is currently playing out its biggest bullish setup in history. This outlook is based on a current retest of an ascending trendline of all-time highs, which Bitcoin broke above in July. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $114,460, having declined by about 3.7% in the past seven days. Featured image from Pixabay, chart from Tradingview.com
