Bitcoin is heading into August with a pattern traders cannot ignore. 9 of the last 13 Augusts ended in the red, showing that this month has historically been tough for $BTC.
But history does not decide the future. Bitcoin is already showing strength, up 1.86% in the chart, and buyers or traders have a chance to break the pattern this year.
If momentum keeps building and demand stays strong, Bitcoin could turn August from another red month into a surprise breakout. The streak is real, but so is the chance to end it.
$TUT is moving again, up nearly 60% on the daily chart and trading around $0.0515.
After the huge pump last week, the price has cooled and now looks like it is trying to build a base.
RSI is near 52, so the market is no longer overheated, while the latest candle is pushing higher.
Tutorial’s AI app is already live on Solana Mobile, with more AI study features planned for Q3. If holders stay in control, $0.06 could be the next level to watch.
$XRP is still holding the $1 level, and that matters. The chart shows the price sitting near recent lows, with RSI at 37, leaving room for a bounce if buyers return.
There is also fresh interest from institutions. Morgan Stanley recently reported holdings in three XRP ETFs, while XRP futures open interest has climbed to about $2.78B.
A move back above $1.06 could change everything for $XRP. For now, $1 remains the level to watch.
$PORTAL is making a strong move, up nearly 54%, and trading around $0.0167. Buyers have clearly stepped in, pushing price above the 7, 30, and 200-day moving averages.
MACD has also turned positive, adding more strength to the move.
RSI is high, so a small pullback would not be surprising.
But the chart still looks bullish. If PORTAL holds above $0.015, this pump could have more room to run. The next target could come into view quickly if buying pressure stays strong.
CPI cooling is positive, but it is only one part of the picture. Bitcoin is also reacting to liquidity, Fed expectations, ETF flows, and profit taking. So, a softer CPI does not automatically mean an immediate breakout.
The interesting part is that if liquidity improves and demand picks up while inflation stays under control, $BTC could have a stronger setup for the next move.
The bigger risk is forced selling of $MSTR shares if an index provider removes Strategy from major benchmarks, not Strategy suddenly dumping its Bitcoin.
MSCI already rejected its earlier proposal to exclude digital asset treasury companies in January, but it is now reviewing broader rules for non-operating companies.
That makes this a real risk to watch, but not an automatic $53B $BTC selloff.
$HEMI is showing a strong breakout, up nearly 60% on the chart and trading around $0.008.
Price has moved above all three moving averages, while MACD has turned positive with rising momentum. RSI is around 77, so buyers are clearly in control, although the move is getting stretched.
The latest catalyst is Hemi Arcade, which is launched this month to bring more developers and users into the ecosystem.
If HEMI holds above $0.007, the breakout could have more room to run.
For now, $0.40–$0.45 is the key area to watch for KAITO.
$KAITO is dumping, and under heavy pressure, down 28.9% to around $0.45.
The chart shows RSI near 29, meaning the token is now in oversold territory. Price has also fallen below the 7 and 30-day moving averages, while MACD remains negative.
The move comes despite recent developments, including Kaito Katalyst, a staking upgrade, and a new KAITO/TRY pair on OKX Turkey.
$BabyDoge is showing signs of a steady move higher.
It is up 2.44% on the daily chart, trading around $0.000000000356. Price is now above the 7-day and 30-day moving averages, while RSI sits near 67, showing stronger buying without being deeply overbought.
I believe interest may also be helped by BabyDoge teasing a Q3 announcement and its upcoming STRAY-vivor Family Day in Manila on August 15. The key now is whether volume can support the move and push price above the 200-day MA for a lasting move.
STON.fi Secures $9.5M Series A as TON DeFi Continues to Grow.
STON.fi is making another big move in the TON $GRAM ecosystem after its development team raised $9.5 million in Series A funding, led by Ribbit Capital and CoinFund.
The platform has already processed $6B+ in swap volume and 27M+ transactions, with around 80% of TON users reportedly using STON.fi.
The new funding will support concentrated liquidity, limit orders, community governance, and cross chain expansion through Omniston.
With TON’s DeFi ecosystem growing, STON.fi is positioning itself for an even bigger role in its future.
$CRO is under pressure, down 7.77% as price falls below all three moving averages.
RSI is near 25, showing the market is oversold, but MACD is still negative. A move back above $0.053 could bring some recovery, while $0.049 is the key support to hold.
For now, the chart remains weak. I will only observe and not trade this, for now.
$ADA is pushing higher after reclaiming the 7 day and 30 day moving averages. Price is approaching the 200 day MA, which remains the main resistance to watch.
A move above $0.21 could open the door to $0.23. If buyers lose momentum, ADA could pull back toward $0.18 before trying again.
Cardano has also seen renewed attention after recent ecosystem updates and growing developer activity, helping improve sentiment. The chart is improving, but the 200 day moving average is still the key level.
Most of the bugs were not direct fund-stealing vulnerabilities. Many affected reliability, denial-of-service, or other security issues that still needed fixing.
The issues that could put funds at risk include:
1. Weak seed phrase generation in some wallet software, allowing attackers to predict recovery phrases and steal funds. This is the same class of issues behind the recent wallet-draining attacks.
2. Coldcard firmware bug affecting some older wallets, where flawed key generation made certain wallets vulnerable. Users were advised to create a new wallet with a new seed phrase and move their $BTC.
3. Private key and signing flaws, where bugs in wallet software could expose keys or cause users to sign unsafe transactions, potentially lead to loss of funds.
SpaceX dropping about 11% does not mean money is suddenly flowing into crypto.
The data this year points to the opposite. Investors have been moving more capital into AI and large tech stocks, while $BTC has struggled. That is a stronger explanation than the idea that SpaceX's weakness will automatically benefit crypto.
Yes, Bitcoin ETFs have started seeing fresh inflows again, but one day of buying is not enough to confirm a market rotation.
All I can say is stop chasing headlines. Watch where capital is consistently moving, not where people hope it will move.
$XAUt has broken above the $4,200 level after holding around $3,950 for several weeks. Price is now trading above the 7 day and 30 day moving averages, showing improving momentum.
If XAUT stays above $4,200, the next target is around $4,300. A move back below $4,100 could lead to a short pullback.
I feel recent demand for gold has also helped. Investors have continued to buy gold as they watch global economic uncertainty and expectations for future interest rate cuts, supporting gold backed assets like $XAUT.
