While the majority anticipated a Fed rate cut in September, a key indicator casts doubt. The latest Producer Price Index (PPI) release rekindles inflation fears and cools hopes for monetary easing. This subtle but meaningful reversal reshuffles the deck in a context where Fed policy dictates the rhythm of risky assets, and more than ever, that of the crypto market.

Less than 48 hours after hovering near a peak at 124,000 dollars, bitcoin falls below 117,000 while ether drops to 4,400. This brutal but seemingly classic correction exposed a weak link in the ecosystem: publicly traded companies exposed to cryptos. Thus, this segment long supported by bullish euphoria takes the reversal full on. The market, meanwhile, reminds that it never rewards excess for long.

The dominant narrative of the crypto market remains centered on bitcoin and its ETFs, but marginal signals outline another trajectory. Indeed, Google searches for the term "altcoin" have just reached an unprecedented peak since 2021, a sign that attention is shifting. At the time, DeFi and NFT attracted capital. Today, the dynamic seems to be reconstituting, more diffuse, but fueled by concrete indicators. A new cycle could then open.

Dogecoin has just crossed a strategic threshold, driven by massive accumulation and the emergence of a rare bullish signal. In a still hesitant crypto market, this movement attracts the attention of technical investors as well as memecoin enthusiasts. Indeed, when such a symbolic asset sends clear signals, it is hard to stay on the sidelines. The upcoming sessions will reveal whether this momentum marks a mere rebound or the beginning of a new cycle.

In a now structured market, each bitcoin record acts as a revealer of the deep tensions crossing the ecosystem: shortage of supply, institutional pressure and shifting macroeconomic climate. On August 14, by breaking 123,500 dollars, bitcoin not only broke its previous high. It confirmed the entrance into a new maturity phase, fueled by precise technical and financial dynamics. This movement is neither fortuitous nor purely speculative, but the product of a structured sequence of converging signals.

In a few days, one of the key indicators of the robustness of the Bitcoin network experienced a striking turnaround. On August 8, the hashrate reached a historic peak before declining sharply, a sign of a sudden adjustment in the computing power mobilized to secure the blockchain. This reversal, occurring while BTC still hovers near its annual highs, rekindles debates on the balance between technical performance and economic constraints for mining specialists.

The crypto market is experiencing a new breakthrough. Two listed companies have massively strengthened their bitcoin positions, confirming the rise of its institutional adoption.

This strong signal illustrates the growing confidence of businesses towards the asset, now seen as a strategic treasury pillar rather than a simple speculative bet.

Sentora (formerly IntoTheBlock) reveals that 97% of Ethereum addresses are in profit, a rarely reached level shaking the market.

Today, analysts are divided between optimism and caution, seeing in this statistic either the sign of a new bullish momentum or the warning of a possible reversal.

After reaching an unprecedented high of $123,000, bitcoin begins a clear slowdown. The euphoria of recent weeks gives way to a consolidation phase, where every market movement is closely scrutinized. The latest Institutional Insights report from CryptoQuant reveals tangible signs of exhaustion: momentum decline, liquidity slumps, and sustained profit taking. This cocktail places the flagship asset at a crucial moment, between technical pause and correction risk.

The meteoric rise of Ether propels Vitalik Buterin back into the exclusive circle of on-chain billionaires. The co-founder of Ethereum sees the public value of his holdings exceed one billion dollars, driven by an ETH crossing $4,000 for the first time in eight months. This resurgence occurs in a boiling market, fueled by massive institutional flows and renewed confidence in the Ethereum ecosystem.

In a few days, Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX, made a turn that is making the entire crypto sphere react. After selling several million dollars worth of Ether, he returned to the market... at a significantly higher price. An unexpected choice, in the middle of Ethereum’s bullish rally, which intrigues as much as it raises questions about his real motivations and the future of the market.

Turning a few tens of dollars invested in bitcoin into billions: the scenario is a dream. However, behind this simplistic equation, trader Techdev recalls a much less glamorous reality. In a viral post, he points out that achieving such a result would have required unwavering conviction and exceptional psychological resilience in the face of market shocks. A message that resonates as bitcoin has just crossed a new ATH above $123,000 on July 14, reigniting myths and speculation.

Solana attracts an unprecedented wave of institutional capital, redefining its role on the crypto chessboard. According to CoinGecko data, publicly traded companies are injecting several hundred million dollars into SOL, methodically strengthening their presence. Far from a mere speculative movement, these massive purchases are integrated into long-term strategies, driven by volumes and accumulation methods rarely seen. This strong signal confirms Solana's growing place in institutional portfolios.

After months of recovery, the bullish momentum of the bitcoin market is abruptly fading.

While the crypto market oscillates between economic uncertainties and renewed optimism, XRP finds itself once again at the center of attention. On the charts, a familiar pattern reappears, the same one that preceded a spectacular 70% surge last January. Is it a simple technical coincidence or the precursor to a new bullish rally? Signals are piling up, analysts are questioning, and the stakes are high: is XRP about to replay its explosive scenario?

Bitcoin flirts with 114,000 dollars, but behind this stability, some analysts are sounding the alarm. A new market reading, based on Elliott Wave theory, announces a peak at 140,000 dollars by the end of this year… followed by a sharp decline in 2026. As euphoria spreads among investors, this projection invites looking beyond the short term.

While financial markets collapse under the threat of new announcements related to the trade war orchestrated by Donald Trump, the crypto market takes everyone by surprise. Indeed, XRP and Ethereum are bouncing back sharply, breaking with an established bearish trend. Are these assets in the process of sustainably detaching from classic macroeconomic dynamics? In a context of tariff tensions and increased volatility, the crypto market's reaction raises questions about its ability to play a strategic alternative role.

While bitcoin oscillates around critical thresholds, between selling pressures and bullish technical signals, investors wonder: simple market breathing or prelude to a new surge towards 75,000 dollars

Bitcoin lost 7.5% after nearly touching $123,250, briefly reviving fears of a lasting correction. However, some analysts see an ideal configuration, described as a "perfect bottom." For them, this technical pullback would be less a sign of weakness than a strategic springboard announcing a major rebound.

Spot crypto exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are currently on a smooth sail, posting strong inflow records week-on-week. Although these investment products struggled during the early parts of the year following the broader market drop, their performances have picked up in this quarter—particularly in the U.S. market

In an already tense crypto market, XRP is drawing attention for the wrong reasons. Several technical and on-chain indicators are turning red, signaling growing selling pressure and marked investor disengagement. The decline in leverage exposure, combined with significant outflows, fuels the risk of key support breaks. If the momentum does not reverse quickly, crypto could enter a more pronounced correction phase, revealing increasing vulnerability to market uncertainties.

As distrust settles in the crypto ecosystem, Pi Network fuels tensions with a controversial decision: a voluntary token lockup in exchange for a mining bonus that can rise up to 200%. In a context of free-falling prices and lethargic liquidity, the initiative provokes the outrage of a community already tested by technical delays and the lack of use cases.

Driven by millions of supporters since its launch, Pi Network is currently experiencing a period of intense instability. The price of its token is falling sharply, approaching a concerning historical threshold. This project, once presented as a decentralized alternative accessible to all, now raises growing doubts about its viability. Caught between community enthusiasm and selling pressure, Pi Network finds itself at the center of discussions, crystallizing the tensions of a market where initial euphoria gives way to expectation.

The XRP derivatives market has just experienced a major shock: $2.4 billion in open interest evaporated, and a 15% drop in price within a few days. This brutal withdrawal of leverage raises questions. Should we see it as a simple adjustment or the beginning of a deeper reversal? While some continue to bet on a bullish recovery, technical signals are becoming unclear and introducing doubt. Is XRP entering a prolonged turbulence zone?

As the crypto market wavers in uncertainty, XRP defies expectations. After bouncing back from a dip below $3, the asset rekindles projections towards $4. This sudden surge, amid massive liquidations, places XRP back at the heart of speculative play. The $4 threshold, forgotten since 2018, becomes a credible target for bullish investors in a climate where few assets manage to reverse the trend with such strength.

While traditional markets remain under pressure, bitcoin reaches a historic milestone: its realized capitalization exceeds 1 trillion dollars for the first time. This threshold, reflecting the capital actually engaged in the network, occurs at a moment when a Satoshi-era whale sells 80,000 BTC, or nearly 9 billion dollars, without shaking the price. A strong double signal, both technical and psychological, confirming the robustness of the market in the face of large-scale events.
