$BNB Here is an updated analysis of Bitcoin (BTC) and Binance Coin (BNB) prices as of August 17, 2025, supported by current market data and expert analyses:
Bitcoin (BTC) Analysis
Current price: approximately $118,317, with a slight increase during the session.
Technical analysis indicates continued positive momentum throughout August, supported by a favorable regulatory environment and increasing institutional interest. For example, the decision to allow Bitcoin to be included in retirement plans (401(k)) in the United States contributed to injecting approximately $572 million into the market, of which $260 million went directly to Bitcoin.
Short-term forecasts suggest a potential rise in price towards $130K – $134K if the bulls continue to dominate, provided it holds above the support range between $110K – $112K.
Another analysis shows that the increase in ETF fund inflows and the expansion of institutional adoption may push the price towards $180K – $200K by the end of the year.
Technically, the formation of a "W" in the monthly RSI indicator is considered a rare bullish signal and could enhance the bullish scenario towards new highs. $BTC
Additionally, a 2% increase in mining profitability in July indicates relative stability in the sector, despite the increasing network complexity (hashrate).
In summary: Bitcoin is in a strong position and just needs to break through
