Bitcoin (BTC) forecast for today — August 19, 2025
Current market conditions
Bitcoin recently experienced a correction of about 2–5%, after peaking at around $124,000, currently oscillating around $115,000.
Support is in the range of $110,000–114,000, especially in the $112,000–115,000 zone — where buying activity is observed. Meanwhile, resistance still lies around $120,000–125,000, which halted the previous price rally.
Video forecast (technical analysis, DailyForex)
Bitcoin tested the 50-day moving average (EMA) today, around the $115,000 level, and then bounced back — suggesting that purchases have emerged during dips (so-called ‘dip buying’).
If support at ~$115k is maintained, the next revitalization point is retesting resistance at ~ $120,000.
In the opposite scenario, breaking below could bring the price towards $112,000, and in an extreme case even $110,000.
Analyst forecasts
TradersUnion predicts short-term growth:
24 h → +1.62% → $117,379
48 h → +1.21% → $116,912
7 days → drop to ~$111,668.
Changelly indicates a possible increase of ~1.03% and reaching a level of $116,733 by tomorrow.
Binance estimates a moderate upward trend of +5% over 30 days, which would give a price around $116,037.
Furthermore, VanEck and Canary Capital indicate that if momentum returns, there is a real chance to break the $150,000 level before the end of the year — analysts assess such scenarios at over 50%.
The ongoing discussion about the so-called ‘supercycle’ predicts a price ceiling of $200,000, assuming persistent inflows from ETFs and institutional adoption. However, the current consolidation in the $116,000–125,000 range may limit bullish impulses without new market factors.

Conclusions
Today BTC is likely to remain stable around $115,000–116,000, unless buyers give way to support at the 50-day EMA.
Short-term growth potential reaches $117,000, and even testing earlier resistances at $120,000–125,000, provided favorable impulses emerge (e.g., Fed, regulations, institutional investments).
The key risk is falling below support — this could lead to testing the $112,000–110,000 zone.
In the long term, after a potential break of current limits, significant increases are possible — analyses suggest levels of $150,000 or even $200,000, but this would require maintaining momentum and favorable macroeconomic factors.
