Bitcoin Price Outlook for the Coming Week
While nobody can predict exact price movements, several reputable forecasting platforms offer short-term estimates that provide a rough idea of potential ranges:
Forecast Summaries
Coinlore anticipates Bitcoin will hover around $116,856 over the next week—a modest decline (~0.8%) from recent highs—then gradually decline further toward $116,174 in ~11 days.
CoinCodex projects Bitcoin could trade between $118,957 and $121,981 next week, suggesting a potential upside of ~2.5%.
CoinCheckup offers a target price of around $121,259, based on their technical models.
Changelly forecasts a short-term increase of ~1.36%, reaching about $120,105 by August 17.
Synthesis: What’s the Range?
From these varied estimates, a reasonable short-term expectation for Bitcoin's price next week (around August 25, 2025) might fall within:
Lower end: ~$116,800
Upper end: ~$121,300
This equates to a price variation of roughly –1% to +3% from current levels.
Key Influencing Factors
Volatility remains elevated: Bitcoin is still in a high-volatility regime, so price swings in either direction remain quite possible.
If bullish pressure continues, the upper forecast range ($121K) may be plausible. If momentum softens, a more conservative scenario ($116–117K) is realistic.
Disclaimer & Final Thoughts
These are algorithmic and technical-driven forecasts—not certainties. Cryptocurrency markets can be highly reactive—to macroeconomic data, regulatory news, or sentiment shifts. Always tread cautiously and consider the inherent risks.

Last week, we saw a price correction in the cryptocurrency market, with Bitcoin dropping by 3.5% and establishing support at the $112,000 level. The sell-off was likely sparked by investors reacting to the U.S. Federal Reserve refusing to cut interest rates, as well as weak job growth numbers in the United States. However, corporates continue to accumulate large quantities of BTC and ETH, which could fuel a bounceback in the market. Stay on top of all the crypto market action with our list of the top cryptocurrencies that deserve your attention in the week ahead.

What to know:
Major cryptocurrencies, including BTC and ETH, experienced volatile trading as the dollar strengthened following new U.S. tariffs.
President Trump's announcement of sweeping tariffs is expected to exacerbate inflation, complicating the Federal Reserve's ability to cut interest rates.
The Japanese yen fell to a four-month low against the dollar, with market focus shifting to the U.S. nonfarm payrolls report for further economic signals.

Major cryptocurrencies experienced two-way price action early Friday, as the dollar remained bid against major fiat currencies following President Donald Trump's announcement of new tariffs.
Bitcoin
BTC$113,920.03
fell to $114,290, nearly testing the bullish trendline drawn off April and June lows, but has since recovered to trade near $115,900, according to CoinDesk data. Ether (ETH), the second-largest token by market value, mimicked BTC's price action, erased the early drop to $3,616 to trade near $3,690.

The early jitters likely stemmed from Trump's wide-ranging tariffs and the continued rise in the dollar index (DXY) to above 100, the highest since late May. The DXY, which tracks the value of the greenback against major fiat currencies, has gained over 3% in four weeks, hinting at potential financial tightening that often prompts traders to reduce their exposure to riskier assets.
Inflation fears lift DXY
According to Robin Brooks, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, signs of tariff-led inflation in the U.S. are driving the dollar higher.
"There's all kinds of reasons people give why the Dollar has fallen this year. At the root of all that stuff is a simple macro story: tariffs were supposed to lift inflation, and that just didn't happen as fast as people expected. Well, it's happening now. Inflation is coming...," Brooks said on X.
Late Thursday, Trump announced sweeping tariffs on a global scale. The new order retained the “universal” tariff for goods coming into the U.S. at 10%, the level announced on April 2. That rate, however, will be applied only to countries with which the U.S. has a trade surplus. Countries exporting more to the U.S. will face a 15% tariff floor. Meanwhile, some Southeast Asian countries have been hit with bigger tariffs.
These additional tariffs are likely to exacerbate the inflationary impact of the taxes announced earlier this year. Data released Thursday showed the theimpact of the initial tariffs crept into the Fed's preferred inflation measure, the core PCE, in June
The personal consumption expenditures price index rose 2.6% year-over-year in June, up from 2.4% in May. The core figure, which excludes the volatile food and energy prices, rose 2.8% over the year, matching May's pace and tied for its highest since February.
The renewed upswing in inflation will likely make it harder for the Fed to cut rates rapidly as desired by President Trump. Early this week, the central bank left rates unchanged at 4.25%, while squashing traders' hopes of renewed rate cuts from September.
"Markets have walked back expectations for a September rate cut. According to the CME FedWatch Tool, the odds of a cut next month have fallen to just 41% - down from 58% a week ago and over 75% a month ago. The Fed’s decision to hold rates steady this week and Chair Powell’s call for “greater confidence” in disinflation have clearly resonated," Matt Mena, crypto research strategist at 21Shares, said in an email.
Mena added that the focus is now on Friday's U.S. nonfarm payrolls report.
Yen slides ahead of payrolls
The Japanese yen depreciated past 150.50 per Dollar in Tokyo Morning, hitting the lowest level in four months.
The decline follows Thursday's comments by BOJ Governor Kazuo Ueda, which indicated that the Japanese central bank is cautious about implementing an additional rate at an early date.
Both the yen and BTC are likely to experience increased volatility following the release of Friday's payrolls figures.
"The data likely determine whether Powell has the green light to act - or whether the Fed stays sidelined," Mena said. "For crypto, looser financial conditions would be a major tailwind. Bitcoin has historically tracked global liquidity with a short lag. If labor data confirms a cooling economy and the Fed pivots, BTC could continue its grind higher, with $150K and $200K still in play this cycle."

$TRUMP Longs Liquidated—$2.34K Wiped Out at $19.789!
A major long liquidation just slammed TRUMP, erasing $2,347.8K in positions at $19.789. This signals heavy sell pressure, with bulls struggling to hold key support.
If momentum doesn’t shift soon, more downside could be on the way.
What This Means:
$TRUMP Weak hands are getting flushed, opening the door for a possible bounce or deeper drop.
If support fails, more liquidations could trigger a cascading sell-off.
A reversal is possible, but bulls need to reclaim lost levels quickly.
Key Levels to Watch:
Support: Holding $19.50 is crucial—if lost, expect a drop to $18.80–$18.00.
Resistance: Bulls must reclaim $20.50+ to shift momentum.
Next Move:
Bullish case: A bounce above $20.00 could push TRUMP toward $21.50–$22.00.
Bearish case: Losing $19.50 could send prices tumbling toward $18.50 or lower.
Stop Loss:
For longs: Below $19.30 to avoid deeper losses.
For shorts: Above $20.50 if momentum shifts bullish.
$TRUMP is at a breaking point—will bulls fight back, or is another crash incoming? Stay sharp!
