Cryptocurrency News Today: Market Updates & Analysis podcast.
Hey everyone, it’s Crypto Willy here with your essential scoop on everything that’s been lighting up crypto headlines for the week leading up to August 5th, 2025. Whether you’re HODLing, swing trading, or just crypto-curious, let’s dive into the whirlwind of this volatile and electrifying market.
Let’s start with Bitcoin—still the heavyweight champ. The narrative this week was all about sideways action, with bulls and bears wrestling for control just below the $120,000 resistance. According to Platinum Crypto Academy, Bitcoin briefly fell below its 50-day SMA, putting some pressure on bulls to defend the $115,000 zone–a must-hold level. Jurrien Timmer at Fidelity compared this phase to the mid-point in the internet adoption curve, suggesting we're only halfway through this wild adoption ride. Despite the tug-of-war, sentiment remains bullish, and analysts are watching for a confirmed breakout above $123,218—which could launch BTC toward targets as high as $135,000 to even $150,000 if the new uptrend gets going. But if the bears drag things below $110,530, watch for quick profit-taking that could push us down to the psychological $100,000 level.
Speaking of sentiment, CoinDesk reports that long-term bullishness in Bitcoin’s options market has gone neutral as traders get jittery about rising inflation and job data in the U.S. Griffin Ardern at BloFin flagged that the 180-day options skew retreated to zero—a technical sign that big money isn’t betting on monster rallies for now, at least into early 2026. This echoes what we saw at the start of the last bear market. But don’t fear the bear just yet; think tactical, not panicked.
Turning to market structure, Bitcoin’s recent dip also triggered a massive $922 million in liquidations on August 1, as reported by Hubbis. That’s a sharp reminder that leverage cuts both ways, especially with macro clouds like inflation and Fed policy brewing in the background. On the flip side, Bitcoin dominance climbed as altcoins showed more volatility.
But what about the future? PlanB, the Stock-to-Flow model maestro on YouTube, says “clear skies ahead” and thinks we’re on target for some serious upside, with his bold average target at $500,000 by 2026. Not everyone agrees, though. John Glover, CIO at Ledn, is calling for Bitcoin to hit $140,000 by year-end before a painful bear market in 2026. Classic crypto: even expert forecasts are all over the map.
Meanwhile, the altcoin scene is bubbling. According to CoinCentral, projects like MAGACOIN FINANCE are drawing a tidal wave of retail and speculative capital, thanks to explosive growth narratives and viral community hype. The presale rounds for MAGACOIN FINANCE are closing at record speed, with analysts touting a wild 33x upside potential. That’s got Telegram and X abuzz, embodying the risk/reward spirit of early crypto investing.
And zooming out, CryptoDnes highlights three key market movers for August: new macroeconomic data, upcoming regulatory milestones, and central bank updates worldwide. All these levers could swing sentiment and set the tempo for the rest of the year.
That wraps it for this week, crypto fam! Thanks for tuning in. Hit me up again next week for another rapid-fire rundown. This has been a Quiet Please production—check me out at QuietPlease.ai. Stay bold, stay curious, and remember: fortune favors the fearless!
