The Bitcoin Flash Crash tests the sentiment of the investors
While XRP has retired in an climate of uncertainty regarding the times of ETF’s approvals, Bitcoin (BTC) recorded a minimum of session equal to 110.306 USD. The so -called Flash Crash alarmed investors, increasing the risk of a third consecutive loss on Monday, August 25th.
Market experts attributed the Flash Crash to a large sale carried out by a Bitcoin What, which sold 24,000 BTCs, for a value greater than 2.7 billion USD. The Whale, according to information, still holds 152,874 BTC, feeding fears of further sales.
Funds flowing from ETF BTC Spot in the USA maintain BTC under pressure
The consistent sale coincided with a series of deceased for six consecutive days in the BTC spot market market, negatively affecting the balance between BTC’s supply and demand.
The BTC spot market in the USA has recorded total net deceased for 1.179 billion USD in the week that ended on August 22, the greatest decline since the end of February 2025. BTC could undergo a further decline if the Etf spot issuers report more substantial deceased and the Whale continue to liquidate their positions.
It is noteworthy that the BTC rally, triggered by the Fed Chair Powell last Friday 22 August, lost impetus. The initial euphoria of the market, following the hints of the Fed Chair on a cut of the rates in September, has turned into caution. A high inflation and a resilient American economy could dampen the expectations of aggressive cuts of the rates aimed at supporting the labor market. A less accommodating path of the Fed could weigh on the risk assets, including BTC.
Why does the Fed rates path affect BTC’s demand? Lowest interest rates in the US would reduce financing costs and weaken the dollar, increasing the attraction of BTC as a good refuge.
This week, fundamental economic data in the USA, including consumer trust, unemployment benefit requests and the personal income and outlays report, will influence the political position of the Fed. An unexpected increase in the US Core Pce Price Index could leave the possibility of a cut of the rates in September 2025. A less accommodating path of the Fed could put pressure on BTC. On the other hand, a more moderate inflation could trigger a new breakout.
BTC price forecast: Fed and Etf Spot interventions at the center of attention
Bitcoin fell by 1.17% Sunday, August 24, after a loss of 1.26% on Saturday, closing at 113,334 USD. BTC recorded a 3.55% drop in the week ended on August 24th. This decline occurred despite a rally of 3.27% on August 22, following the change of course announced by the Fed Chair Powell.
Looking to the future, several key events could influence the trajectory of the short -term price. Among these:
- Economic data USA: consumer trust, GDP, unemployment benefit requests and the personal income and outlays report.
- Legislative developments in Capitol Hill.
- ETF Spot flows on BTC.
Possible scenarios:
- Bearish scenario: Legislative obstacles, economic data uses positive or deceased by ETFs. These combined factors could push BTC below 110,000 USD, approaching the level of psychological support of 100,000 USD.
- Bullish scenario: Bipartisan support for the clarity act, weak US data and influenced by ETFs. In this case, BTC could aim for the historical maximum of 123,731 USD.
