## Core idea
Bitcoin is trading above $76,000, putting the bearish prediction of veteran trader Peter Brandt—based on a real test—after it appears he was wrong.
## Original forecast
In January, Brandt said he believes Bitcoin is headed for a $58,000–$62,000 range, while also admitting the possibility that he could be wrong. But Bitcoin’s recent price movement has dramatically changed the picture.

Shiba Inu (SHIB) could be headed for a price correction, with investors selling at a faster-than-expected pace.
## Inflows to exchanges
Trading platform flow data indicates that a large number of SHIB tokens are moving toward exchanges rather than away from them, suggesting the coin may face additional selling pressure. And while SHIB is already struggling to maintain its most recent rebound, the latest data points to an unfavorable short-term imbalance.

A decline of $29 billion in short-term U.S. Treasury bills shows why stablecoins have become an important element in the strategy for funding U.S. debt.
## June numbers: two opposing trends in the same month
Foreign investors sent a net $133.5 billion to U.S. financial markets in June. But during the same month, they sold $29 billion in short-term Treasury bills.

Robert Kiyosaki, author of the book "Rich Dad, Poor Dad," urged investors again to buy Bitcoin, saying that financially literate people are best able to protect their wealth from inflation and the erosion of the U.S. dollar’s purchasing power.
## Warning about a decline in the value of the currency
In a post on the X platform, Kiyosaki claimed that the latest measures by the U.S. Treasury represent a new round of "quantitative easing," or what he described as "printing fake dollars." The remarks came amid renewed concerns about U.S. government debt and bond market conditions, after the Treasury announced in August its plan to increase the repurchase of long-term government bonds to at least $4 billion per transaction.

## Overview
Bitcoin is consolidating near $77,000 after a sharp rebound, but two technical charts suggest that the rally may pause temporarily before its next major move. Support around $76,000 could preserve the short-term bullish structure, while a deeper pullback toward the $63,000–$70,000 range may be followed by a later recovery toward $100,000–$130,000.

Solana (SOL) is holding near the $95 level after rebounding strongly from the $60 area, keeping bullish Elliott Wave scenarios alive on both short- and long-term charts. Analysts see the possibility of a fifth upward wave toward $114–$116 before targeting a broader recovery to $160–$180. Even so, breaking the $95.13 level could reveal support at $90.69 and $87.26.

ASTER surged strongly on August 21, driven mainly by market optimism about regulation related to decentralized futures exchanges, after Trump announced that the CFTC is working to bring Hyperliquid to U.S. markets.
But market conditions changed as the renewed trade war between the United States and Canada flared up, causing the broader cryptocurrency market to retreat.

- Nine listed Bitcoin mining companies spent $5.11 billion on capital assets in the first half of 2026
- Those companies generated only $341.2 million in AI and high-performance computing revenue — a gap of nearly 15 to 1
- AI revenue in the second quarter reached $205.8 million, up 52% from the first quarter

- A study shows that strict carbon policies in the European Union may push Bitcoin miners to move their operations to Russia
- Companies maximize their profits by shutting down mining machines in the European Union and running their counterparts in Russia during periods of rising costs
- But the new Russian mining ban for 2025 may limit the ability for this operational shift

XRP disappeared from the scene for weeks, even months, as the token lost many key support zones on its painful descent, finally sliding down to the $1.00 level—and even dropped below that level on two occasions last week—its first time since 21 months.
Then everything changed. On Wednesday afternoon, Bitcoin led a rally that swept in altcoin soldiers and sparked a broad market rebound. Ripple’s token lagged a bit behind the party, but when it arrived, it exploded higher—from $1.00 to $1.42 within a day or two—recording its highest level in months. Bullish traders kept pushing into Saturday morning, bringing the price to $1.70—an increase of 70% over the span of days.

Bitcoin surged strongly from the mid-$63,000s to $78,000, but it hit its first major ceiling on Saturday. Now, the resulting pullback faces a clear technical test at the $73,230 level.
## Key points
- The $78,000 level stopped the initial rally
- The $73,230 level is the critical "line in the sand"
- A $69,000–$70,300 level is considered the broad support for the recovery

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse believes the United States has become closer than ever before to establishing clear regulatory rules for the digital asset industry, according to a post on social media.
Change over the course of a decade
Garlinghouse believes Washington’s approach to digital assets has changed dramatically over the past ten years. This assessment came after the inaugural meeting of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Innovation Advisory Committee in Washington on August 20. The committee was chaired by CFTC Chairman Michael Seelig, and it brought together executives from the digital asset and traditional finance sectors to advise the agency on technical, legal, and policy issues.

Price performance:
Zcash (Zed Cash) this week posted its best weekly performance in the past twelve months, rising by 62% to reach a trading level of $793 at the time of writing. Before that, the coin touched $857 on Saturday morning, its highest price since its launch.
Technically, the article noted that the coin was not in the overbought zone on the weekly chart, but it was already deeply in the overbought zone on the daily chart—at levels where the coin has seen several prior reversals.

After Bitcoin rose by about $15,000 over a few days, it was ready for a correction. In fact, it cooled off as it dropped to the $75,500 level, where it found some support.
Most alternative coins (altcoins) are also in the red zone, slightly on the daily chart. As for HYPE, it continued to defy the odds and set a new all-time high, exceeding $82.

Bloomberg reported, citing informed sources, that rising costs of memory chips are driving up the prices of AI servers that use Nvidia chips, as some of the company’s largest customers face increases of more than 15%.
