US-based crypto ETFs have witnessed a change in dynamics in August, which has seen inflows tipping towards Ethereum ETFs. However, last week’s trend of strong inflows ended with substantial outflows on Friday, with Ethereum ETFs leading the retreat with $164.64 million and Bitcoin ETFs following with $126.64 million. This sudden reversal coincides with an interesting timing of stubborn inflation data that seems to have rattled institutional investors. Related Reading: Ethereum Bullishness: Ark Invest Boss Scoops $16-M More In BitMine Stock A Sudden Reversal At Week’s End According to data from Farside Investors, US-based Spot Ethereum ETFs ended the week with $164.64 million in outflows. The outflows came from Fidelity’s FETH with $51 million, Bitwise’s ETHW with $23.7 million, Grayscale’s ETHE with $28.6 million, and Grayscale’s ETH with $61.3 million. BlackRock, on the other hand, witnessed neither inflows nor outflows into its Spot ETH ETFs, alongside 21Shares, VanEck, Invesco, and Franklin Templeton Ethereum ETFs. Friday’s outflows were a jarring departure from the steady gain that had defined Ethereum’s Spot ETFs since August 21. Ethereum’s six-day inflow streak, which had added about $1.876 billion, was brought to an abrupt end with the outflows on Friday. As a result, total assets under management for Spot Ethereum ETFs dipped to $28.58 billion. Ethereum ETF Flow: Farside Investors Meanwhile, Spot Bitcoin ETFs also recorded their first daily decline since August 22 with $126.64 million in outflows on Friday. As a result, their total assets under management dropped to $139.95 billion. However, not every issuer felt the pressure with Bitcoin. Fidelity’s FBTC led the exodus with $66.2 million, followed by ARKB’s $72.07 million and GBTC’s $15.3 million in outflows. On the other hand, BlackRock’s IBIT still managed $24.63 million in inflows and WisdomTree’s BTCW drew in $2.3 million amid the wider outflows. Bitcoin ETF Flow: Farside Investors The underlying cause of the outflows can be attributed to investors digesting the latest data on inflation released on Friday. Notably, the US core Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) index climbed 2.9% year-over-year in July, the fastest pace since February, creating fears that the Federal Reserve may hold off on rate cuts. What May Lie Ahead This Week As a new trading week begins, Spot ETF flow in both Ethereum and Bitcoin is likely to depend on how investors continue to interpret the data. If inflation pressures persist, institutional investors may retreat further at the beginning of the week. However, any signs of cooling could see inflows resume mid-week, particularly into Ethereum, where fundamentals are currently favorable. On the price side of things, Bitcoin’s hold above the $108,000 price may offer some relief. However, it needs to stay above $110,000 in order for any upside move to gain momentum. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $109,910. Related Reading: XRP Price Could See Boost As Japanese Gaming Giant Commits 2.5-B Yen Investment For Ethereum, a daily close above $4,500 could confirm the return of bullish confidence, whereas a slide below $4,400 might signal further weakness.

The crypto market opened the week on shaky ground, with Bitcoin (BTC) struggling to defend the $107,000 support zone. One analyst has warned that a bearish divergence that has been forming for weeks continues to pressure the price. Daily Chart: The Golden Pocket at $107K For now, Bitcoin’s saving grace is the $107K–$108K golden pocket. …
Since reaching a new all-time high of $124,427 on August 14, Bitcoin has entered a prolonged corrective phase, losing 12.18% of its value over the last two weeks. With market prices now moving within the $109,000 range, market analyst Yonsei_dent has identified a pivotal support level to the present bullish market structure. Related Reading: Analyst Forecasts Bitcoin Price Will Break This Support Level, Can $100,000 Hold? Bitcoin’s $107,800 Line In The Sand: Support Or Breakdown Ahead? In a QuickTake post on CryptoQuant, Yonsei_dent shares some technical insight into the Bitcoin market, highlighting several important price levels at the moment. The analyst explains that Bitcoin’s current market price is sitting almost directly on top of the Short-Term Holder (STH) Realized Price, an important metric that tracks the average cost basis of recently acquired coins. Notably, investors holding coins for 1 week–1 month have an average cost basis of $116,400, while the 1–3 month cohort sits lower at $112,600. Meanwhile, holders in the 3–6 month range show a significantly cheaper cost basis of $93,400. When all these groups of short-term holders are weighted by realized capitalization, the blended average STH cost basis is calculated at around $107,800, i.e., about 1.45%% below present market prices. This alignment makes the $107,800 level a critical line in the sand, so to speak, for the current bullish structure. If Bitcoin remains above this threshold, short-term holders will remain close to breakeven, reducing the likelihood of widespread panic selling. However, if Bitcoin bulls lose this support zone, many new market entrants will fall into loss territory, increasing the potential for a heightened selling pressure. In such a bearish scenario, market participants would likely turn their attention toward the $93,400 support area, where the 3–6 month cost basis resides. This level could provide the next significant cushion, given that investors in this cohort are sitting on healthier profits and are likely to display stronger holding conviction. However, it’s worth stating that the situation is not outright bearish. A decisive recovery above $112,600–$116,400, representing the cost bases of 1–3 months and 1 week–1 month holders, respectively, could restore market confidence and reignite bullish momentum towards a potential return to the present market ATH.

The Bitcoin price has had a mixed performance in August, starting with a positive run-up to a new all-time high above $124,000. The premier cryptocurrency, however, has struggled to sustain this momentum in the final two weeks of the month. On Friday, August 29, the price of BTC fell to a six-week low of around $107,500, mirroring the widespread bearish sentiment in the market going into the weekend. While the market has been somewhat stable over the past day, the Bitcoin price has failed to show any real intent of breaking above the psychological $110,000 level. BTC Investors Should Look Out For These Two Support Levels In a Quicktake post on the CryptoQuant platform, CryptoOnchain shared insights on the decline of Bitcoin, revealing that heavy profit-taking by whales was the primary factor behind this corrective phase. According to the on-chain analyst, there are certain levels to watch out for when evaluating the next step for the world’s largest cryptocurrency. Related Reading: Bitcoin 8% Below CME Gap Ahead Of Monthly Close — Will History Repeat? CryptoOnchain revealed two crucial Bitcoin price levels to look out for based on relevant on-chain indicators. Firstly, the crypto analyst identified the Short-Term Holder (STH) Realized Price (1-month – 3-month) as the first line of defense or support for the flagship cryptocurrency. CryptoOnchain described the STH Realized Price as the average acquisition price for investors for investors who have held their for 1 to 3 months. This level has historically served as a strong dynamic support and resistance for the Bitcoin price. According to the analyst, the price of BTC seems to be currently testing the support around this STH Realized Price, as shown in the chart below. Furthermore, CryptoOnchain identified the Realized Value Model’s Mid Price as the ultimate support level to watch for the Bitcoin price. This metric (green line in the chart below), which is based on MVRV and Realized Price, represents the most reliable long-term support level across various market cycles. The on-chain analyst noted that this support level is approximately $92,000, and it could provide the Bitcoin price with the necessary relief if the other short-term supports fail to hold. However, the premier cryptocurrency might have to endure an extended corrective phase if this $92,000 support is broken. Bitcoin Price At A Glance As of this writing, Bitcoin is valued at around $108,689, reflecting no significant price movement in the past 24 hours. According to CoinGecko data, the BTC price is down by almost 6% in the past seven days.

XRP’s price action in the past few days has been characterized by consolidation below the $3 price level. This level, which had acted as support for most of August, was broken to the downside on August 28, and XRP is now trading at the $2.8 price zone. Technical analysis shows that the current sideways action should not be mistaken for weakness, as XRP is now on track to embark on a rebound move to the upside. Related Reading: XRP Price Could See Boost As Japanese Gaming Giant Commits 2.5-B Yen Investment XRP Trading In Consolidation Phase XRP’s recent price dip comes after the asset retested the $3 price level between August 26 and August 28, which for now has capped its upward momentum. Interestingly, expanding further to a larger candlestick timeframe shows this move has seen XRP moving back into a consolidation zone it has been trading in since the beginning of 2025. Its most recent peak of $3.65 in July was an attempt to break out of this consolidation zone, but the ensuing price retracement has seen it fall back into the zone. According to a technical analysis from popular XRP analyst Egrag Crypto, XRP’s price action is marking up a bounce just before the next move. In his post on the social media platform X, he referred to the present structure as XRP’s consolidation before the next big move. His analysis, which was plotted on a 2-week candlestick chart, shows how XRP is approaching the lower trendline of a white zone. Chart Image From X: EGRAG CRYPTO This white zone, as seen in the price chart above, encapsulates XRP’s various attempts to close above its 2018 all-time high of $3.40. However, this has acted as an order block, and even though XRP has broken above this price high in recent months, it has yet to close above it on the larger timeframe. Nonetheless, despite the most recent pullback, XRP is still above the lower trendline of the white box. As long as it keeps trading above $2.8, it gives bullish traders the possibility of another leg higher. Targets Point To Double-Digit Breakouts The 2-week chart shared by Egrag Crypto also maps out bold double-digit projections for when the XRP price closes above the white zone and the consolidation resolves in favor of the bulls. The price targets highlighted in his analysis are at $7, $11, $18, and as high as $27 in the longer term. These levels are based on upward-sloping trendlines on price targets that go as far back as 2016. Related Reading: Ethereum Bullishness: Ark Invest Boss Scoops $16-M More In BitMine Stock The most pressing task for XRP is to clear the upper boundary of the white consolidation zone and establish a decisive close above the $3.5 level on the 2-week candlestick. The exact timeline for such a move is currently uncertain, but Egrag Crypto’s chart projects the setup breaking out around late September 29, 2025. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $2.83, up by 0.5% in the past 24 hours. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from TradingView

Bitcoin recorded a slight 1.50% price gain in the past 24 hours, with prices now hovering within the $109,000 price range, after a significant price correction from last week. While general market sentiment remains neutral, recent data from blockchain analytics firm CryptoQuant suggests the leading cryptocurrency may experience further price drops before any potential full rebound. Related Reading: Bitcoin Daily Close Spurs Caution – $110,500 Breakdown Could Shift Momentum Bitcoin Needs Deeper Losses For Strong Rebound Signal: Data In an X post on August 30, top market analyst Ali Martinez shares an important insight into a potential Bitcoin price recovery. Using data from CryptoQuant, Martinez identifies that the Bitcoin Trader Realized Profit/Loss Margin (P/L Margin) sat at-0.60% when prices traded at $111,337, indicating that the present P/L Margin is around -2.2%. Nevertheless, this P/L level stands in sharp contrast to historical capitulation thresholds. In previous cycles, Bitcoin has staged strong rebounds once the P/L margin fell to around -12%, marking heavy realized losses among short-term holders and creating the conditions for aggressive accumulation by larger entities. For example, during the market downturn of April 2025, margins collapsed beyond -12%, shortly before Bitcoin rebounded from sub-$75,000 levels to reclaim the six-figure range. A similar pattern occurred in July 2023 and October 2023, when capitulation below -12% preceded the significant levels of price rebounds. Currently, with margins hovering just around -2%, it is unlikely to see a textbook capitulation-driven rebound. This data suggests that deeper realized losses may be necessary before strong upside momentum resumes. However, this further price correction is not guaranteed. Alternatively, Bitcoin could also continue to trade sideways to gather momentum before initiating a price upswing. Related Reading: Analyst Says XRP Price Is Yet To Hit Its First Bearish Target – Details Bitcoin Market Outlook At the time of writing, Bitcoin trades at $109,528, reflecting a modest 1.50% intraday gain as earlier stated. However, the premier cryptocurrency remains under pressure, with losses of 5.51% on the weekly chart and 5.31% over the past month, signaling that many recent market entrants are holding at a loss. According to CryptoQuant’s data, Bitcoin’s realized price, which represents the average cost basis of all coins, currently stands at approximately $112,000. Historically, trading below the realized price suggests weaker investor conviction and heightened selling pressure from traders in loss, while sustained periods above it tend to coincide with bullish market phases. For market sentiment to stabilize, bulls must decisively reclaim the $112,000 realized price level. A successful breakout above this threshold could effectively halt the ongoing correction and pave the way for a rebound, with potential upside targets around $116,000.

Optimism is running high among supporters of XRP as Canary Capital CEO Steve McClurg claimed that the long-awaited XRP spot ETFs could see inflows of $5 billion in their first month. Related Reading: Ethereum Bullishness: Ark Invest Boss Scoops $16-M More In BitMine Stock His comments, shared during a Friday interview, highlighted his belief that the funds would even outperform Ethereum ETFs, which have so far struggled to attract money from institutional investors. Ethereum ETFs Struggle While XRP Builds Optimism Bitcoin’s debut in the ETF market brought in $1.5 billion in net inflows in January 2024, according to Sosovaliue data. By February 12, just one month later, the total had climbed to $3.30 billion. Ethereum’s numbers, however, told a different story. Reports disclosed that the Ethereum spot ETFs recorded an outflow of $480 million in July 2024 and then lost another $5.60 million one month later. ????Canary Capital CEO says $XRP ETF can do $5 BILLION in the first month and can outperform $ETH from pure financial services???????? FULL INTERVIEW????????https://t.co/s2BFB7F9mk#xrparmy #ripple #XRPCommunity #XRP pic.twitter.com/AqrgeSnjIz — Paul Barron Network (@paulbarrontv) August 29, 2025 A big reason was tied to money leaving the Grayscale Ethereum Trust (ETHE). Against this backdrop, McClurg argued that XRP’s position in the market gives it a stronger chance at instant success. He pointed out that after Bitcoin, XRP remains the most recognized token among Wall Street investors. According to him, this recognition, along with demand from its loyal community often called the “XRP Army,” will fuel immediate ETF adoption. Rising Odds Of An XRP ETF In 2025 Reports have shown increasing confidence that an XRP ETF will be approved this year. Analysts said odds for a launch in 2025 rose from 80% to 85%, a minor shift but still an upward one. McClurg agreed with this sentiment and mentioned that other cryptocurrencies such as Solana, Litecoin, and HBAR may also get ETF approval before the year ends. He added that XRP futures already being available adds weight to its chances of moving forward. Related Reading: A New Vision For Money: Hoskinson Predicts Bitcoin Will Hit $10 Trillion According to McClurg, XRP has an advantage over Ethereum from a pure financial services standpoint. Unlike Ethereum, which is built largely around smart contracts and decentralized apps, XRP is tied directly to payments and cross-border settlements. That use case, he suggested, makes it easier for Wall Street’s major players to understand and support, especially through regulated investment vehicles.

Solana’s price action has shown some sort of resilience in the past few days while much of the cryptocurrency market turned red. After surging past $210 to reach as high as $218 on August 29, SOL briefly dipped below $200 but quickly stabilized, outperforming major large-cap assets such as Bitcoin, which has been locked in a decline since August 14. This has put Solana in an interesting position, and technical analysis shows its correction phase is constructive and could prepare the token for another breakout. Related Reading: A New Vision For Money: Hoskinson Predicts Bitcoin Will Hit $10 Trillion Analyst Says Correction Is Important For Breakout Crypto analyst RLinda on the TradingView platform described Solana as stronger than the market. According to the analyst, Solana’s recent price behavior, where it managed to remain steady above $200 even after pulling back from a new multi-month high of $218, its highest price point since February. Although the multi-month high ultimately resulted in rejection and a downward move, Solana is doing much better than Bitcoin. According to on-chain analyst Ali Martinez, Solana investors realized close to $1 billion in profits immediately after the cryptocurrency broke past $210 before eventually reaching $218. Particularly, data from Glassnode shows realized profits spiking to over $911 million after Solana broke above this level. SOL Realized Profit: @ali_charts on X According to RLinda’s analysis, the ongoing correction is not a reversal but rather a consolidation stage and there’s likely going to be a liquidity test between $202.5 and $195.3. However, the analyst noted that the outlook will remain positive as long as buyers can defend the $200 level during this corrective move. This, in turn, will pave the way for a breakout from $200 up to $240. Chart Image From TradingView: RLinda What’s Next For Solana? The last two times Solana broke above $200 this month, it entered into an ensuing correction that brought its price action below $180. However, the most recent break, which led to a peak at $218, has managed to hold above $200. The formation of higher highs and higher lows shows that sellers are losing their grip and are now unable to force the token back under $200. Therefore, the bullish outlook from here is the formation of another higher high, with RLinda pointing to $240 as the next target. Reaching $240 would translate to a new peak since January. However, RLinda also highlighted resistance levels at $216.5 and $220 before reaching this target, and then a final resistance at $244 should the higher high extend past $240. Related Reading: Ethereum Bullishness: Ark Invest Boss Scoops $16-M More In BitMine Stock On the other hand, the analyst also noted support levels at $202.5, $198, and $195.3. The overall expectation is that Solana could resume its bullish trading trajectory once the correction slows down and bounces at either of these levels. At the time of writing, Solana is trading at $205, up by 1.6% in the past 24 hours. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from TradingView

Bitcoin is once again at the center of market attention, facing a decisive test after several days of heightened volatility. Last Friday, BTC lost the crucial $110,000 support level, sparking concerns that the recent rally may be running out of steam. Since then, the market has been marked by sharp swings as bulls attempt to defend current levels against mounting selling pressure. Related Reading: Ethereum Leads Market While Altcoins Lose Ground – Details Analysts are increasingly divided. While some believe this is a healthy consolidation within a broader uptrend, others are warning that Bitcoin could be on the brink of a deeper correction. With fear creeping back into sentiment, traders are closely watching key levels that could determine the next phase of price action. Adding to the uncertainty, new data from CryptoQuant reveals that Galaxy Digital has been selling BTC in the past hours, fueling speculation about whether institutional players are beginning to take profits. Such moves often amplify volatility, as smaller investors react to large-scale transactions by whales and funds. With Bitcoin’s trajectory at a crossroads, the coming days will be crucial. Either bulls regain control and push BTC back above resistance, or selling pressure intensifies, dragging the market into its sharpest correction since the summer rally. Galaxy Digital Sells BTC, Signals Market Shift According to CryptoQuant analyst Maartunn, Galaxy Digital’s Bitcoin balance has dropped by 1,167 BTC, adding fresh pressure to an already fragile market. The move comes at a moment when Bitcoin is testing crucial levels after losing the $110,000 mark last Friday, intensifying speculation that institutions may be locking in profits. While the reduction in holdings may not seem overwhelming in isolation, the timing has sparked concerns as Bitcoin’s next weekly close approaches. The broader market context makes this development even more significant. Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency, is consolidating around key demand levels after weeks of heavy volatility, suggesting that capital rotation is slowing while investors reassess their risk appetite. If ETH continues to hold firm, it may provide a degree of support for altcoins, but Bitcoin remains the decisive anchor for market sentiment. For Bitcoin, the next sessions represent a make-or-break phase. A strong weekly close above $110,000 could help restore confidence, signaling that the recent correction was temporary profit-taking rather than the start of a deeper downturn. Conversely, if selling pressure persists and BTC fails to recover, analysts warn of a possible slide toward $100,000 as the next major support zone. With Galaxy Digital’s activity highlighting institutional caution, investors are left weighing whether this is a short-term shakeout or the first sign of a broader distribution trend. Either way, the market’s reaction in the coming days will set the tone for the weeks ahead. Related Reading: Ethereum Demand Climbs As Monthly Transactions Hit New All-Time High Bitcoin Struggles To Hold Support As Selling Pressure Mounts Bitcoin (BTC) is trading around $108,764, showing signs of weakness after failing to recover from last week’s breakdown below the $110,000 level. The daily chart highlights how BTC has struggled to regain momentum, with repeated rejections around $112,000 confirming heavy selling pressure from the market. The technical outlook suggests that Bitcoin is now sitting at a crucial crossroads. The 50-day moving average (blue line) near $111,673 has flipped into resistance, a bearish signal that underscores the market’s current weakness. Meanwhile, the 100-day moving average (green line) at $116,323 has also begun sloping downward, suggesting that medium-term momentum is turning bearish. Related Reading: Bitcoin Index Highlights Two Accumulations And Five Distribution Waves This Cycle – Details Support, however, lies around the 200-day moving average (red line) near $101,207. If BTC continues to trend lower, this level will be critical to watch, as it could provide the foundation for a rebound. Losing it would open the door to a deeper correction, with $100,000 emerging as the next psychological level. Bitcoin’s inability to reclaim the $110K–$112K zone leaves it vulnerable to further downside. Bulls must step in soon to defend support, or the market risks accelerating into its largest correction since the summer rally. Featured image from Dall-E, chart from TradingView

Bitcoin’s rally and its doubters remain on a collision course as the market pauses after a run of record highs. Related Reading: Ethereum Bullishness: Ark Invest Boss Scoops $16-M More In BitMine Stock According to CoinGecko, Bitcoin hit $124,050 on July 14 and was trading around $109,124 at the time of publication. The pullback has not stopped some voices from projecting far higher prices, but it has kept sceptics loud. Skepticism Will Likely Persist According to Luke Broyles, a commentator known as The Bitcoin Adviser, doubt about bitcoin’s upside will probably stick around even if prices soar. Broyles told Natalie Brunell on the Coin Stories podcast that he expects bitcoin to reach $5 million, $10 million or more, and that people will still insist it can’t go any higher. He said this is not just a market problem. It is a mindset problem. Psychology Trumps Tech For Many People Broyles argued that most people have not yet connected bitcoin to things that change daily life. “I think it’s going to be that way for a very long time,” he said. Adoption, he suggested, will advance faster when bitcoin is tied to familiar financial decisions rather than presented as a small, optional investment to chip away at over months. That, he said, is what will convince larger groups of people to take it seriously. Real Estate Integration Could Drive Adoption Broyles offered a practical example. He asked whether it would be easier to persuade someone to buy small amounts of bitcoin for 200 months, or to tell them they could refinance a home and convert some equity into bitcoin. He said the latter would “blow people’s minds.” Reports have disclosed that blending bitcoin with mortgage and loan products could make the asset feel more useful, not just speculative. A Wide Gap In Understanding Remains According to an August 2024 survey by Australian exchange Swyftx, over 40% of nearly 2,230 respondents said they had not used crypto because they were not sure about it. That finding underscores a persistent gap between market moves and mainstream comfort. Price records are visible and headline-grabbing. Practical familiarity is slower to arrive.
