CryptoQuant analyst Maartunn used today’s price weakness to publish a granular, 10-part “Bitcoin Market Analysis” on X that dissects the post-ATH landscape with on-chain detail and a clear technical line in the sand. “Bitcoin broke its all-time high, but here’s the catch: long-term holders are [starting] to sell into the strength,” he wrote, adding that what matters now is how the market digests that supply above and around the breakout zone. In his framing, the first stress test is underway. Is The Bitcoin Bull Run Over? The thread anchors around one headline-grabbing datapoint: “the LTH selling pressure includes the 80,000 BTC sold by the Satoshi-era wallet.” That description is Maartunn’s interpretation of July’s extraordinary movement of eight “ancient” wallets that shifted roughly 80,000 BTC after ~14 years of dormancy via Galaxy Digital. Beyond the drama of this single entity, Maartunn argues that behavior across the holder spectrum is what’s driving the tape. “Retail is stepping in after the ATH,” he noted, describing a familiar pattern of late-cycle enthusiasm that followed Bitcoin’s push through $120,000 in mid-July. That surge set a new record near $123,000 before momentum faded; spot prices are now revolving around $113,000–$115,000. Related Reading: Bitcoin Is Secretly Tracking This Market Signal: Weiss Crypto The bid didn’t vanish entirely. “Fresh capital did help the ATH-breakout buyers,” Maartunn wrote, pointing to balance-sheet demand “from firms like Strategy and Metaplanet.” Those purchases are verifiable. Strategy—the rebranded MicroStrategy—disclosed 21,021 BTC bought between July 28 and Aug. 3 at an average of ~$117,256, lifting its holdings to ~628,791 BTC. Tokyo-listed Metaplanet added 463 BTC on Aug. 4, taking treasury holdings to 17,595 BTC. Even so, those corporate flows “weren’t enough to hold Bitcoin around the ~$120k level,” the analyst said. Where the thread turns more cautionary is on short-term hands. “Short-Term Holders started to puke and sell at a loss,” Maartunn wrote, quantifying realized-loss waves of 52,230 BTC (July 15–18), 42,493 BTC (July 24–28), and 70,028 BTC “after July 31.” He called the last episode notable “not just [for] the size, but the duration,” arguing that prolonged STH loss-realization is a pressure valve that typically needs time to exhaust. These are Maartunn’s on-chain tallies; they have not been separately published by data vendors in aggregate form. The flows picture from listed products has begun to rhyme with that stress. “ETFs are also seeing outflows,” he observed. Multiple trackers confirm a downswing: CoinShares logged the first net weekly outflow in 15 weeks (-$223 million) with Bitcoin funds leading at -$404 million, while daily tallies this week show US spot Bitcoin ETFs bleeding for several sessions, including about -$196 million on Tuesday. Framing differs by window, but the direction is clear: the bid from ETFs is wobbling at the margin. Related Reading: Bitcoin Risks Another Crash Following Recovering Into Bearish FVG Zone Technically, Maartunn fixes attention on the former breakout zone. “Bitcoin is finding support around its previous ATH — roughly $112K,” he wrote, pointing to a confluence between chart structure and on-chain price-distribution. His on-chain map “backs it up,” flagging “strong support in the $108K–$112K range,” an area where a large volume of coins last changed hands. Context matters. Bitcoin’s July all-time high sits around $123,000 on major benchmarks—an extension of 2025’s institutional-heavy advance—so calling $112,000 a “previous ATH” refers to the nearer-term breakout plateau that preceded price discovery, not the absolute record. That nuance is why Maartunn concludes with a conditional: “So far this cycle, we haven’t seen any previous ATH break down… Until that changes, this looks like a normal pullback. But if we do break below a former ATH ($112k), that’s a real shift in market behavior.” In the near term, the credibility of that ~$108,000–$112,000 “shelf” will likely be decided by whether supply from profit-taking long-term holders, loss-realizing short-term holders, and ETF redemptions continues to outweigh balance-sheet demand and organic spot inflows. If the shelf holds, Maartunn’s base case is “a normal pullback” that bleeds off excesses from the ATH push. If it fails decisively, he argues, the cycle would be showing its first meaningful breach of a prior breakout—an observable change in behavior rather than a narrative turn of phrase.

On-chain data shows Dogecoin whales have expanded their holdings recently, a sign that big-money investors are buying the dip. Dogecoin Whales Have Increased Holdings By 1 Billion DOGE In a new post on X, analyst Ali Martinez has talked about the latest trend in the Supply Distribution of the Dogecoin whales. The “Supply Distribution” here refers to an indicator from on-chain analytics firm Santiment that tells us about the total amount of the asset that a given wallet group is holding right now. Related Reading: Binance Inflows A Leading Indicator For Altcoins? Analyst Explains How Addresses or investors are divided into these cohorts based on the number of tokens that they are carrying in their balance. The 1 to 10 coins group, for example, includes all holders owning between 1 and 10 DOGE. In the context of the current topic, the whales are the cohort of interest. These investors are typically defined as holding more than 1 billion DOGE, with there being no upper end to the range. At the current exchange rate, the cutoff for the group converts to almost $200 million. Given the massive size of holdings involved, whales can carry some degree of influence in the market. This can make their on-chain behavior worth keeping an eye on. Now, here is the chart shared by the analyst that shows the trend in the Supply Distribution of Dogecoin whales over the past couple of months: As displayed in the above graph, Dogecoin investors carrying more than 1 billion DOGE saw their Supply Distribution plunge near the end of July, indicating that big-money entities exited from the market. What followed the selling was an extension of bearish price action for the asset. The mood among the whales appears to have turned around in the past day, however, as the indicator’s value has seen a sharp surge instead. “Whales bought over one billion Dogecoin $DOGE in the last 24 hours!” notes Martinez. Given the timing of the buys, it’s possible that these humongous investors believe the current lows to be offering a profitable entry point into the memecoin. It only remains to be seen, though, whether this bet would pay off for the whales. Related Reading: Bitcoin Top Buyers Aren’t Selling: $118,000+ Supply Remains Firm In some other news, memecoin Pepe (PEPE) has also seen a bullish development recently, as the analyst has pointed out in another X post.

Shares of Galaxy Digital faced a significant decline on Tuesday following the release of disappointing quarterly earnings and revenue figures. The crypto-investment and data-center company reported earnings per share of $0.8 for the second quarter, falling short of Wall Street’s consensus estimate of $0.18. Galaxy Digital Shares Plunge 10% Revenue for the period totaled $9.1 billion, markedly below analysts’ expectations of $13.9 billion. Consequently, Galaxy’s stock, GLXY, plummeted by 10%, settling at $27.68. According to Barron’s, the downturn can be attributed to a broader trend affecting the cryptocurrency sector, where trading volumes have waned significantly since spring, pushing digital assets like Bitcoin to retrace 7% below its record price peak. Related Reading: Bitcoin Stuck In Macro Purgatory—Top Analyst Says Q4 Or Bust Galaxy reported a 22% decrease in digital-asset trading volumes from the first quarter, primarily driven by reduced spot-trading activity. The firm’s crypto sales, which represent its largest revenue stream, fell to $8.6 billion in the second quarter, down from $12.8 billion in the first quarter and $8.8 billion a year prior. Despite the disappointing earnings report, there was some positive news on the horizon. Galaxy announced that CoreWeave has committed to utilizing all the electrical power approved at its Helios data-center campus in West Texas, where construction is reportedly proceeding on schedule. Additionally, Galaxy has agreed to acquire an extra 160 acres of land and a 1 gigawatt load interconnection request adjacent to the campus. CEO Mike Novogratz expressed optimism about the Helios project, stating, “Helios will be a top five data center in the world if we get that fully built out.” The company anticipates generating revenue from its data-center operations in the first half of 2026. In light of the CoreWeave announcement and the expanded capacity potential at Helios, Piper Sandler analyst Patrick Moley noted that shares might be undervalued, suggesting they should trade higher. The firm has rated Galaxy stock as Overweight, with a price target of $36. Coinbase Unveils $2 Billion Senior Notes Offering In related news, Coinbase Global also experienced a slight dip in its stock, which fell by 1% on Tuesday following the announcement of a $2 billion offering of convertible senior notes aimed at qualified institutional buyers. This offering includes $1 billion in notes maturing in 2029 and another $1 billion due in 2032. Additionally, initial purchasers will have the option to acquire up to $150 million more of each series.

These notes will be senior, unsecured obligations with interest payable semi-annually, and they can be converted into cash, Class A common stock, or a combination of both at Coinbase’s discretion. To minimize potential dilution resulting from these conversions, Coinbase plans to engage in capped call transactions, partially funded by the proceeds from the offering. The remaining funds will be allocated to support general corporate needs, including working capital, capital expenditures, investments, acquisitions, and potential debt repurchases.

Despite the recent Bitcoin (BTC) price correction after a significant rally that propelled the cryptocurrency to a record high of $123,000, some analysts remain optimistic about the potential for a renewed bull run. However, one expert has raised a concerning warning that could signal the end of this bullish cycle. Fears Of Mass Sell-Off According to market expert OxArtikal’s thesis shared on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Michael Saylor’s Strategy (previously MicroStrategy), the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, is reportedly planning to sell all of its Bitcoin holdings by 2025. This revelation comes amid movements of their substantial Bitcoin reserves to different wallets, raising alarms about the potential implications for the market. Related Reading: XRP Soars 35% in a Month: Will Ripple’s Legal Win and Whale Activity Send Price to New Highs? Strategy currently controls over 628,000 BTC, representing more than 3% of Bitcoin’s total circulating supply. For context, the collapse of FTX, which held approximately 20,000 BTC, triggered a significant downturn in the market. The expert believes that the potential sale of Strategy’s Bitcoin holdings could have a dramatically larger impact, estimated to be 30 times more severe. Notably, Saylor has long maintained that Strategy would never sell its Bitcoin. However, the expert identified that in late June, the company quietly transferred 7,382 BTC—valued at nearly $800 million—out of its wallets and into three new wallets with no prior transaction history. This Bitcoin was subsequently sent to Coinbase Prime, a sell-side custodian, without any public announcement or clarification during the company’s Q2 earnings report. If Strategy were to liquidate even a small portion of its holdings, the psychological ramifications could be profound, OxArtikal further stated. He shared that this could lead to a mass sell-off, while institutional investors could reconsider their BTC allocations. Bitcoin Could Crash Below $70,000 Historically, Strategy’s actions have coincided with significant market shifts. In 2022, the company transferred 34,000 BTC to secure a loan, shortly before a major market crash. Now, as they appear to be moving substantial amounts of Bitcoin again, the expert fears that a similar scenario could unfold. OxArtikal asserts that sell-off by Strategy could potentially drive the price below $70,000 within days, undermining the retail comeback and deterring new investors who view Bitcoin as a long-term safe haven. Related Reading: Bitcoin Stuck In Macro Purgatory—Top Analyst Says Q4 Or Bust While it is not confirmed that Saylor will sell his holdings, the signs are troubling: the recent wallet movements, the involvement of Coinbase Prime, and a lack of transparency during earnings calls all point to a potential shift in strategy. If Strategy were to exit the Bitcoin market, the expert claims that it wouldn’t merely result in a correction; it could trigger a market-wide reset, erasing years of built-up trust and confidence in Bitcoin as “digital gold.” Featured image from DALL-E, chart from TradingView.com
After crashing in recent weeks, the Dogecoin price may be nearing the end of its bearish cycle as historical chart patterns suggest a renewed bullish setup on multiple timeframes. Despite the downturn, a crypto analyst has indicated that the meme coin, which is hovering around $0.2, could be poised to skyrocket toward a new all-time high of $5. Dogecoin Price Roadmap To $5 In an X social media post on August 4, renowned market expert ‘CryptoELITES’ painted an ultra-bullish picture for the Dogecoin price. The analyst believes that DOGE could be on track for its next major bullish target, forecasting a powerful rally toward $5. This optimistic outlook comes despite the meme coin crashing over 10% this week and extending its downward trend. Related Reading: Historical Data Predicts Dogecoin Price Crash In August — But There’s A Silver Lining Based on CryptoELITES’ analysis, Dogecoin could soon end this downward spiral and launch into a fresh upward trend. The analyst’s accompanying chart visualizes a compelling long-term bullish pattern for the meme coin. Over the past few years, Dogecoin has followed a consistent structure of descending triangle formations, each of which resolved in explosive upside breakouts. Each descending triangle seen on the chart occurred during past bull market cycles. The pattern starts with a sharp rally, followed by a prolonged period of consolidation marked by a series of lower highs and relatively equal lows. Once price compression reaches a tipping point, Dogecoin historically breaks out violently to the upside. This trend has repeated multiple times over the years, with every breakout pushing the meme coin’s price to an even higher level than the last. According to the latest chart formation, Dogecoin has once again formed a descending triangle, but this time after a consolidation post-2021 bull run highs. The price is now hovering just above the breakout zone, which is historically where previous rallies ignited. CryptoELITES’ has marked this region with a circle, suggesting possible accumulation. If past patterns repeat, Dogecoin could enter a vertical growth phase, potentially targeting the marked area on the chart around $5.14. Dogecoin Short-Term Reversal In Play For Dogecoin’s short-term outlook, crypto market analyst James Bull shared an analysis on X, outlining the meme coin’s immediate bullish target in the wake of its recent crash. Bull notes that Dogecoin is currently hovering around a critical support level at $0.19538. After experiencing a sharp drop from former highs, DOGE has now retraced to this historically strong support zone, which previously acted as a key pivot point. Related Reading: Dogecoin Could See Bullish Continuation If It Reclaims This Level The expert’s analysis suggests a bullish trade setup with a potential long position targeting $0.27144. A clear stop-loss has been placed just below the support zone, creating a potentially favorable risk-reward ratio for traders. If buyers can defend this support level and push the meme coin’s price upward, it could confirm the analyst’s short-term reversal theory and possibly signal the beginning of a larger uptrend.

Veteran trader Peter Brandt delivered a sharp critique of Bitcoin holders this week. According to posts on X, Brandt, a septuagenarian with more than 800,000 followers, lashed out at those who “hodl” through thick and thin. Related Reading: Slow And Steady: Bitcoin’s Current Rise Feels Different—Study He called them “a bunch of idiots who borrow money to buy pizza.” His message was blunt. He urged people to “get a life,” warning that faith in Bitcoin as a cure-all will leave many disappointed. I have had it up to the tip of my head with people on Twitter X Have a nice life ???????????????? — Peter Brandt (@PeterLBrandt) August 5, 2025 Trader Slams Hodl Mentality Brandt argued that Bitcoin is “just an asset” and nothing more. He stressed that treating it like a miracle fix gives the crypto community a bad image. Reports have disclosed that he’s grown tired of endless debates online. “I have had it up to the tip of my head with people on Twitter X,” Brandt wrote, suggesting that constant arguing was driving him up the wall. His tone left little room for polite debate. A counter to the Bitcoin “Hodl-or-does-not-count” crowd I began futures trading in 1975 at the Chicago Board of Trade with maybe a thousand dollars in my checking account and little to no savings If Bitcoin has been around at the time and I would have put all my money into it I… — Peter Brandt (@PeterLBrandt) August 5, 2025 Overnight, replies flooded in. Some praised his honesty. Others snapped back with equally harsh words. Others defended Bitcoin as more than charts and price swings. The back-and-forth underscored a split: traders who focus on risk and charts versus holders who see crypto as a movement. Community Pushback On X Across the crypto world, Brandt’s comments stirred a wave of reactions. According to data on social media engagement, his post attracted hundreds of replies within hours. Many messages mixed humor and anger, with memes featuring pizza and margin calls. Others pointed to Bitcoin’s gains this year, noting it has climbed more than 50% since January. That rise fueled confidence among hodlers—and a readiness to push back against Brandt’s barbs. Despite the heat, Brandt held his ground. He pressed on, saying that tying one’s identity too closely to Bitcoin’s price is a mistake. His warning was an echo of a broader caution in trading circles: markets can turn on a dime. Brandt’s straight talk cut through hype and spin, but it also risked widening the gap between chart watchers and true believers.

Cardano’s Midnight Network has launched its highly anticipated NIGHT token airdrop, and the crypto community responded in full force. Within hours of the August 5 launch of the “Glacier Drop” phase, over 11,000 wallets across eight major blockchains claimed more than 250 million NIGHT tokens. Related Reading: Ethereum Is ‘The Biggest Macro Trade Over The Next 10–15 Years,’ Says Tom Lee The Midnight claim portal, now live, supports wallets from Cardano, Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Solana, BNB, Avalanche, and Brave’s BAT. In total, 33.6 million wallets are eligible to participate in this multi-phase distribution. ADA's price trends sideways on the daily chart, despite the launch of the highly anticipated Cardano NIGHT airdrop. Source: ADAUSD on Tradingview Phased Airdrop Mechanics and Cross-Chain Eligibility While Cardano users will receive the largest share, 50% of the total 24 billion NIGHT tokens, holders from other networks are also included in the drop. The claim process is designed to be fair and non-custodial, requiring users to verify eligibility and sign a transaction. This first phase will remain open for 60 days, followed by a second phase (Scavenger Mine) where users can earn unclaimed tokens through on-chain computational tasks. A third “Lost-and-Found” stage will begin post-mainnet and allow late claims for a limited fraction of the original allocation. Ledger Wallet Glitch Hampers Some Cardano Users Despite the excitement, not everything has gone smoothly. Many ADA holders using Ledger hardware wallets reported issues when trying to claim NIGHT tokens. According to Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson, the problem lies with Ledger’s firmware, which currently supports message signing of only 31 bytes, far short of the 251 bytes needed for the Glacier Drop. Related Reading: Crypto Fantasy Or Future?

Designed to enhance smart contract performance and scalability, the update has barely moved ADA’s price, which hovers around $0.72, a 2.92% drop in the last 24 hours.

Shiba Inu’s blockchain platform, Shibarium, is reportedly stepping beyond its original role as a Layer 2 (L2) scaling solution. In a recent announcement, the development team revealed that Shibarium is now positioned as the core infrastructure for a decentralized, community-led future, highlighting its broader functionality and long-term vision for the evolving ecosystem. Shibarium Evolves Beyond Layer 2 Solution On August 4, the Shiba Inu team behind Shibarium clarified in an X social media post that the platform is more than just a Layer 2 scaling solution. They described it as a robust infrastructure designed to power a fully decentralized, community-driven ecosystem. This positioning marks a strategic expansion of Shibarium’s role in the broader blockchain space, emphasizing its importance as a foundational layer for both innovation and governance. Related Reading: Shiba Inu Team Unveils New Developer Hub Updates — Here’s The 411 Initially introduced as a Layer 2 built on the Ethereum blockchain to provide scalable and low-cost transactions, Shibarium’s evolution reflects a deliberate shift towards multifunctional utility. The team has outlined the platform’s capacity to support on-chain governance structures, Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs), Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), and real-world applications. This indicates Shibarium’s readiness to serve as a multi-purpose blockchain ecosystem rather than a single-purpose scaling solution. Another key component highlighted by the Shiba Inu team is Shibarium’s ability to allow developers to build freely on the network while empowering communities to govern their protocols independently. This dual emphasis on infrastructure and self-governance aligns with the core principles of decentralization, giving Shibarium the potential to become a breeding ground for next-generation blockchain applications. Compared to other Layer 2 solutions that primarily focus on throughput and transaction fees, the Shiba Inu team notes that Shibarium integrates the above features within a framework geared toward long-term sustainability and utility. In doing so, the team presents Shibarium as a dynamic platform where resilience and innovation converge to support a decentralized future. WoofSwap Proposes Major Updates For Shibarium WoofSwap, a key community voice within the Shiba Inu ecosystem, released a set of reform proposals on X, aimed at enhancing Shibarium’s scalability, utility, and overall appeal. At the center of the suggestions is a potential revision to the 20 million BONE token allocation, with WoofSwap urging community input to fine-tune the distribution. Related Reading: Shiba Inu Bearish Reversal Setup Says Dump Below $0.000013 Is Coming Alongside tokenomics adjustments, the proposal targets technical improvements such as optimizing cross-chain speed to achieve a near one-minute transaction finality, positioning Shibarium as a faster and more competitive Layer 2 network. Other key technical refinements include streamlining smart contracts to lower Ethereum gas fees and expanding support for trendline cross-chain tokens. Beyond infrastructure, the proposal addresses governance and engagement for Shibarium. Decentralization also remains a priority, with a call to gradually open validator nodes while maintaining strict security standards. WoofSwap also urged influencers to be more cautious with their public roles, highlighting the need for credibility as Shibarium evolves. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com
