Smart Crypto Investing: Bitcoin, Altcoins & Trading Strategies podcast.
Hey crypto fam, it’s Crypto Willy dropping the hottest updates you need to know for the week ending August 30, 2025!
Bitcoin finds itself at a straight-up pivotal crossroads. All eyes have been glued to the $112,000 resistance and $100,000 support this month. Traders from the big desks at BlackRock to the retail grinder on Binance are watching for any hint of a break. If Bitcoin throws down and breaks above the $112K resistance, analysts—including the sharp folks at BlockByte—say we could see a bullish blast-off towards the $145,000 to $150,000 mark, especially if institutional buying ramps up. But if support cracks, a drop below $100K isn’t off the table, so set those stop-losses wisely, my friends.
We saw a wild surge mid-August when BTC rocketed up to a new all-time high near $124,000, according to VanEck’s Matthew Sigel. But don’t get too comfy—the second half of August has been choppy, and as of this week, CoinDesk notes Bitcoin’s been hammered down to near $108,400 after the Bitcoin Asia Conference. It seems conference weeks are turning into danger zones for price action, with the pattern repeating from the big U.S. event earlier this year. A word to the wise: sometimes sentiment trumps charts!
On the macro front, everything depends on Jerome Powell and the Fed’s next move. Historically, Bitcoin has an inverse correlation with interest rates—if we finally see those long-awaited rate cuts, expect BTC to rally up to 16% higher almost overnight. That scenario’s got traders setting their sights on bigger gains before year’s end, with price targets ranging as high as $180,000 to $250,000, or even more if those ETF flows stick, as projected by CryptoGecko’s expert roundup.
Whale wallets keep raking in coins, gobbling up nearly $1.8 billion over the past few weeks, with a bullish undertone undimmed. But old coins are waking up—Changelly’s August analysis shows those long-inactive deltas could dump on the market and spark extra volatility, so caution and tight risk management are key.
On the altcoin side, Ethereum is stealing some spotlight, with ETF inflows topping $1.24 billion, nearly double Bitcoin’s $571 million this month. If ETH keeps building steam, we may see portfolio rotations and multi-chain diversification popping up in serious trading strategies. Meanwhile, sharp traders are watching Remittix (RTX) after it caught the eyes of Charles Edwards and others as a potential breakout star, riding hot on the tail end of Bitcoin’s channel breakout.
When it comes to trading strategies right now, keep it tight! Institutional players are doubling down on entries in the $100K–$107K range and setting those stop-losses hard at the $100K threshold. For retail traders, momentum-based setups, breakout plays, and strict risk controls remain the name of the game—this is definitely not the age of ‘set and forget.’
So there you have it! August 2025 has been one for the history books, and the next few weeks could bring some legendary moves. Thanks for tuning in, crypto warriors—don’t forget to swing back next week for more alpha and market wisdom.
