#CreatorPad Trader Peter Brandt's forecast for Bitcoin to reach its peak price in August-September remains valid.
On May 1, Brandt published a chart showing the dynamics of BTC price changes, where the parabolic slope is depicted with red lines. Peter suggested that between August and September, the cryptocurrency's value would touch the upper line of the figure, which will range from $125,000 to $150,000.
The chart of Bitcoin price fluctuations compiled by Brandt
On August 14, the price of BTC updated its historical maximum, rising to $124,624. Therefore, it can be assumed that another upward impulse will soon occur, pushing the coin's price to $125,000 or higher. After that, Peter believes that the price of Bitcoin will drop by 50%, meaning the cryptocurrency may fall to $62,500 during a bearish trend.
Yesterday, Brandt asked Scott Melker, the host of the finance podcast The Wolf Of All Streets, what he thought about the forecast made in May. Scott replied: "I think you did great."

#MarketGreedRising The total market capitalization of NFT collections reached $9.3 billion, which is 40% higher than July's $6.6 billion. A key factor in this growth has been the rising price of Ethereum, which recently surpassed the $4000 mark and continues to climb.
Since many NFTs are launched on the Ethereum network, their sales and valuation are conducted in ETH. Accordingly, the growing popularity of the crypto asset leads to an increase in market value and heightened activity in the non-fungible token space. At the time of writing, the 10 largest NFT assets by market capitalization have been issued on Ethereum.
CryptoPunks maintains its position as the most popular NFT collection by market capitalization. Data on the minimum price of the asset shows that the collection is worth at least 526,900 ETH (around $2.4 billion).
In the past seven days, the trading volume of CryptoPunks amounted to nearly 4200 ETH worth $20 million. Over the week, 90 NFTs from the collection were sold, averaging $217,331 each.

#ETHRally Ethereum soared nearly to record highs on Wednesday amid a wave of buying, as corporate organizations began accumulating the world's second-largest cryptocurrency in a manner similar to Bitcoin.
Ether rose by 8.5% to $4,683.0, coming close to the record high of $4,861 reached in November 2021.
Several companies listed on American exchanges outlined plans this week to increase their Ethereum holdings, amid growing adoption of the Bitcoin buying strategy popularized by MicroStrategy Incorporated (NASDAQ:MSTR) CEO Michael Saylor.
Microstrategy (now Strategy), the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin in the world, raised billions through issuing shares, which it mainly used to fund its Bitcoin purchases over the last two years.
The company's stock has nearly tripled over the past year, as investors sought access to Bitcoin through Strategy shares, which have largely risen alongside Bitcoin prices.

#DeFiGetsGraded 11 August 11 capital inflow into Ethereum ETFs issued by American companies exceeded $1 billion for the first time in history. According to the SoSoValue platform, on Monday the market capitalization of nine ETH-based derivatives increased by $1.02 billion, reaching $25.71 billion. In total, since the listing of the first Ethereum ETF approved on July 23, 2024, $10.83 billion has been invested in funds.

Bitcoin ETFs have seen much lower demand. On August 11, they managed to attract only $178.15 million. This fact clearly indicates the continuation of the altcoin season, during which traders' focus shifts from BTC to ETH and other digital assets. For this reason, a strong bullish trend has been observed in the markets of BNB (BNB), Dogecoin (DOGE), and Chainlink (LINK). It should also be noted that ETH ETFs are still far from competing with BTC ETFs in terms of market capitalization, which stands at $154.42 billion. Over the past month, Bitcoin has increased by 1.32%, while Ethereum has risen by 46.07%. In the medium term, ETH is likely to continue to outpace BTC in growth rate due to a more substantial influx of capital from institutional investors. The price of Bitcoin has fallen to $120,000, indicating a decrease in the coin's value to $115,000.

#DOGE According to crypto analyst Ali Martinez, there has been high activity from "whales" in the Dogecoin (DOGE) network over the past 24 hours — large holders acquired over 230 million meme tokens. This occurred after the record on August 6, when crypto whales bought more than 1 billion DOGE in 24 hours.
Martinez also added that Dogecoin is trading in a historically strong "buying zone," a range that has led to significant growth in past market cycles. At the time of writing, DOGE has risen by more than 8% and recently surpassed a key resistance level at $0.218.
Dogecoin has managed to stay above the key support zone in the range of $0.165 to $0.202, a level that experts believe is important for maintaining a bullish trend. Over the weekend, DOGE briefly fell to $0.19, but buyers quickly intervened and prevented a more severe decline.
This recent rebound may mark the beginning of a recovery phase. The next serious test for the meme coin is the range from $0.209 to $0.22, which has previously served as both support and resistance. A confident move above this level, especially with increasing trading volumes, could lead to a sharp rise to the $0.28–$0.29 zone.

#BTC Bitcoin has remained virtually unchanged in price on Thursday, while the broader cryptocurrency market also stayed within a sideways range, as concerns over rising U.S. trade tariffs kept investors on the sidelines.
The reciprocal trade tariffs imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump came into effect on Thursday, imposing duties of 10% to 50% on the world's largest economies. On Wednesday, Trump also announced a 100% tariff on all semiconductor imports, which will take effect in the coming weeks.
Bitcoin rose by 0.3% to $114,521.4 at 09:31 Moscow time.
Bitcoin in a sideways range due to tariffs and economic concerns
The world's largest cryptocurrency mostly remained within a trading range between $115,000 and $110,000 over the past week as risk appetite deteriorated.
Although Bitcoin received some positive signals – mainly due to sustained buying from large corporate holders such as Strategy (NASDAQ:MSTR) and Metaplanet Inc (TYO:3350) – it was not enough to drive prices higher, which are in a steady downtrend after reaching record highs above $123,000 in mid-July.

#BNB On Tuesday, cryptocurrency and stock markets slightly corrected downward. Bitcoin (BTC) fell below $113,000 after U.S. President Donald Trump announced upcoming new tariffs next week. Cryptocurrency markets dropped by 1.82%, while the S&P 500, Nasdaq, and Dow indexes lost 0.28%, 0.36%, and 0.03% respectively.
Trump stated that the new tariffs would apply to goods that currently fall into "separate categories," such as pharmaceuticals and semiconductor chips. The president explained that a small initial tariff would be applied to pharmaceuticals, but over the years it would gradually increase to 250%.
On the evening of August 5, Bitcoin was priced at $113,835, down 1.1% over 24 hours, according to CoinGecko data. The weekly performance of the cryptocurrency is even weaker — down 3.93% over the past seven days. Volatility was moderate, as the price of BTC fluctuated in the range of $112,701 to $115,729.

#CreatorPad According to experts from Matrixport, there are currently no strong drivers for the growth of bitcoin prices. This situation creates risks of sharp profit-taking, especially in conditions of reduced liquidity and seasonal decline in interest from traders.
"August and September are historically considered the weakest months of the year," the publication on Matrixport's page on X states.
The main factor that could change the picture is the uncertainty regarding taxes in the United States. This could become a "hidden macro-driver" for the first cryptocurrency, but the effect may only manifest itself after a few months.
Despite moderately negative expectations for August–September, Matrixport points to sustained interest from large investors and the activation of exchange-traded crypto funds. These factors could support the market in the long term and become the basis for the next stage of bitcoin price growth in October, Matrixport specialists are confident.
Earlier, analysts from the trading company QCP Capital suggested that if the value of the US dollar increases, investors will begin to get rid of high-risk assets, including the first cryptocurrency.
