Bitcoin attracts bettors, Ethereum seduces bankers, Dogecoin dreams of an ETF and Tether dresses in gold: the crypto circus continues its show, between promises, glitters and persistent doubts.

XRP is going through a decisive phase. Priced at $2.81, Ripple’s token is evolving in a weakened crypto market, undermined by persistent volatility. Technical indicators paint a mixed picture: selling pressure dominates in the short term, but some long-term moving averages indicate a possible recovery. Between investor caution and hopes for a rebound, XRP is now at a strategic turning point that captures analysts' attention.

While the entire crypto market oscillates between consolidation and correction, Dogecoin stands out with a unique behavior. Its open interest, a barometer of open positions on futures contracts, remains stable at a historically high level, nearing 16 billion DOGE, or approximately 3.36 billion dollars. This threshold is remarkable in a climate where speculative activity is significantly declining across the majority of altcoins.

In just three days, the American stock market witnessed a rare spectacle: eight of the largest tech companies saw their capitalization jump by 420 billion dollars. A lightning movement that repositions Google at the center of the game and confirms how regulatory decisions and advances in artificial intelligence now influence Wall Street.

This Friday, September 5, nearly $4.7 billion worth of options on Bitcoin and Ethereum expire, while technical indicators waver and the U.S. economy sends signals of slowdown. This crucial deadline could reshape the spot markets' dynamics.

Is bitcoin approaching a decisive turning point? As signs of fatigue accumulate, a new analysis rekindles the specter of an imminent bearish cycle. According to a fractal modeling aligned with historical four-year cycles, October could mark the beginning of a deep correction. After the euphoria of the highs, the market enters a phase of uncertainty where every technical signal is scrutinized. This scenario, increasingly discussed among analysts, calls into question the strength of the current upward trend.

The ghost of 2017 is haunting speculators again. While some are betting on a comeback of XRP, comparisons with the last bull run are multiplying. However, the current market has little to do with that of yesterday. New dynamics, increased competition, divergent technical signals: does the analogy still hold? Behind the hope of a bullish rebound, a colder reading of the data tells a different story.

While bitcoin and Ethereum take center stage, Solana (SOL) quietly establishes itself as the new asset to watch. Driven by strong technical signals and record interest in derivative markets, the crypto is now assigned a target of $1,000. However, behind this bullish momentum lies a paradox: real activity on the network is collapsing. Between speculative frenzy and on-chain exhaustion, Solana intrigues as much as it questions.

September, long synonymous with a downturn for bitcoin, seems to be losing its curse. This historically unfavorable month for risky assets is starting, for the third consecutive year, a contrary dynamic. Supported by a flexible macroeconomic context and structuring institutional flows, the market is giving signs of maturity. The queen of cryptos no longer suffers the calendar: she redefines it.

Regulated exchange platforms can conduct spot cryptocurrency trading activities, according to a joint statement by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) on September 2, 2025. This policy clarification marks a key regulatory step that could help drive crypto trading and promote investor protection.

Despite the recent bitcoin correction, the institutional rush on bitcoin continues to strengthen.

After the January explosion, interest in memecoins sees a more measured return. Google searches indicate persistent curiosity, but less euphoric, reflecting a new caution among investors. Without the usual noise from social networks and Crypto Twitter, this crypto dynamic could mark an evolution towards a more mature market approach.

Despite a major update to version 23 of its protocol, Pi Network struggles to spark market enthusiasm. In a sector where every innovation is scrutinized to revive bullish momentum, the announcement of technical advances inspired by Stellar Protocol 23 and the integration of new functionalities were not enough to boost its token price. This dissonance between technological progress and stock market inertia raises questions about the project's ability to convert its evolutions into real value.

Since the beginning of September, bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) have captured the attention of a crypto market suspended between hope and concern. While Wall Street falters, the two leaders show intriguing resilience. Yet, behind this apparent calm, technical indicators reveal growing tension. Between contradictory signals and increasingly polarized forecasts, traders are preparing for volatility that could make September a decisive month for the market's future.

In South Korea, Tesla no longer embodies the dream of retail investors. According to Bloomberg, nearly 1.8 billion dollars vanished in four months, including 657 million in August alone, marking the largest outflow since 2019. Behind this disenchantment, a growing unease: lacking a new narrative around AI or autonomous driving, the manufacturer no longer captivates as much. Result: despite its status as the most held foreign stock, Korean investors are abandoning Tesla for bets considered more dynamic and quicker.

Bitcoin wavers below 109,000 dollars, caught between macroeconomic uncertainty and unfavorable technical signals. While investors scrutinize upcoming indicators likely to guide US monetary policy, the pressure intensifies. Institutional capital outflows, tensions in derivatives products, and weakened sentiment indicators increase distrust. The market freezes in anticipation, exposed to latent volatility.

This Monday, the World Liberty Financial (WLFI) project, supported by the president and his close associates, proceeded with the unlocking of 24.6 billion tokens. An operation that values their stake at nearly 5 billion dollars. Presented as a technical launch, this initiative fuels suspicions about Trump’s growing influence in a sector he now helps shape.

In the United States, the employment report expected this Friday, September 5, could seal the fate of interest rates. Markets, fueled by hopes of monetary easing, are watching for the slightest sign of weakness. However, the equation remains fragile: a slowdown sufficient to justify a rate cut, without reigniting fears of a sharp economic downturn.

August was marked by two opposing signals in the crypto market. Ethereum reached an unprecedented peak of activity, confirming the growing interest of investors in its ecosystem. Conversely, Bitcoin suffered a brutal shock after the massive liquidation of 24,000 BTC by a single actor. This contrast is not just a technical divergence. It illustrates an ongoing rearrangement, between regulatory innovations, strategic repositioning of players, and the evolution of the balance of power between major assets.

Trump dead? No, just putting around! But the rumor was enough to shake the crypto market, social networks... and some nerves in high places.

At 95 years old, Warren Buffett remains one of the last bastions of capitalism based on patience and value. While markets ignite to the rhythm of algorithms and viral tweets, the Oracle of Omaha remains faithful to an immutable strategy: investing in what one understands, for the long term. Besides his birthday, this week also marks a turning page for Berkshire Hathaway.

On August 30, bitcoin fell below 110,000 dollars, confirming persistent selling pressure. Technical indicators highlight a marked bearish trend, while the market hesitates to find a balance point. Between a critical support at 107,000 dollars and a solid resistance at 114,000 dollars, the next break could guide the trajectory for the coming weeks. In an uncertain economic context, tension rises among investors, divided between the fear of a new drop and the expectation of a reversal.

Driven by euphoria and records beyond $124,000, bitcoin seemed out of reach. However, the sudden break of a major technical support, a pillar of the uptrend, disrupts this picture. False alarm or real reversal signal? The question divides analysts and investors, at a time when certainties waver and volatility returns.

The signals align on the altcoin market. While bitcoin and Ethereum take a pause, XRP and Dogecoin position themselves at the forefront of speculative bets. Raoul Pal, former Goldman Sachs and founder of Real Vision, mentions an imminent transition of the current cycle. In an analysis shared on X, he revives his concept of "Crypto Waiting Room" and points to a possible breakout from consolidation for these two assets. Investors, for their part, watch for the trigger signal.

Solana is about to reach a historic milestone. Since August 27, its community has been called to vote on "Alpenglow" (SIMD-0326), a bold proposal that could completely overhaul the network's consensus mechanism. More than a technical evolution, it is a strategic turning point with profound repercussions on performance, the protocol's economy, and the balance between efficiency and decentralization.

While the crypto market oscillates between euphoria and uncertainty, XRP is the subject of a serious warning. According to analyst Benjamin Cowen, the crypto could experience one last drop before reaching its cycle peak. This analysis, based not on promises but on historical technical signals, calls for caution.

With every Nvidia earnings release, the crypto market holds its breath. For several quarters, the semiconductor giant's performance seems to evolve in parallel with that of bitcoin. Enough to intrigue traders, increasingly watching this quarterly event as a leading indicator. Even before the announcement of the second quarter, attention was not only on Wall Street but also on the blockchain order books.

While BTC maximalists brood, whales set course for ether. Bluff move? Or real metamorphosis of a market tired of its digital dinosaur?
