BTC Report – August 22, 2025
Bitcoin rose nearly 3.3% today, trading around $116,400 USD, following statements by Jerome Powell in Jackson Hole, where he suggested being open to cutting rates soon, which significantly boosted market sentiment. This reaction triggered a rapid recovery from levels of $112,000 to over $114,000 and reached intraday highs close to $117,000.    
Significant liquidations were recorded —over $375 million in crypto derivatives, especially in short positions of Ethereum— which reinforced Bitcoin's bullish momentum. 
Also today, an institutional milestone was reached: Deutsche Bank anticipates possible rate cuts in September and December, supporting the positive sentiment. 
Finally, the market is watchful ahead of the large options expiration (almost $5 billion in Bitcoin and Ethereum), which could amplify volatility in the short term.
