👉 August 2025 opened on a strong note with Bitcoin crossing $124K, fueled by ETF inflows and institutional demand.
Optimism was high, with the Fear & Greed Index peaking near 79, reflecting confidence from Ethereum’s rally toward $4,900 and altcoin momentum which signalled Altseason.
👉 Mid-month, however, volatility spiked. A 7% Bitcoin correction to $115K during the Jackson Hole Symposium and weak macro data triggered $480M+ in liquidations.
A flash crash on August 14 deepened the dip, wiping $577M in longs as tariffs and inflation data weighed on sentiment. Ethereum cooled 4%, while altcoins like Solana tested key supports.
👉 Despite the turbulence, late August showed resilience. Dovish Fed signals revived hopes of September rate cuts, pushing Bitcoin back above $116K and Ethereum past $4,500.
Solana rebounded nearly 8% on ecosystem growth, while ETH ETF inflows of $444M reignited altseason vibes.
👉 Some Altcoins overall outperformed and consolidated strength.
Emerging narratives like AI-blockchain integrations and regulatory nods in stablecoins further boosted confidence.
August closed with sentiment stabilizing bullish, setting the stage for September.
If rate cuts materialize, liquidity inflows could fuel the next leg of the bull cycle, turning recent dips into setups for a stronger Q4.
