He noted that the SOPR trend signal, which has historically provided reliable medium- to long-term buy/sell indicators, has not yet generated a bullish signal, as such readings typically appear around major price bottoms.
The whale Set 10 Big Goals First posted The bull should return swiftly, potentially indicating an established long position in Bitcoin. Previously, they noted that their BTC long positions were taken across the 74,000 to 82,000 dollar range, with a stop-loss order to execute if the price drops below 72,000 dollars. They believe BTC exhibits strong upward momentum rebounding from its lows, driven mainly by inflows into spot ETFs. Additionally, the correction in the AI sector and Bitcoin's long-term decoupling from U.S. equities could prompt risk capital to flow back into BTC.
Odaily News According to on-chain analyst Ai Yi's monitoring, a certain wallet opened a long position of 15,000 ETH after the ETH price broke through $2,500 again.

Since August 24, this wallet has accumulated profits exceeding $852,000 by going long on Bitcoin and ETH.
Odaily News, according to on-chain analyst Ai Yi's monitoring, a whale opened a 20x leveraged short on BTC worth $38.07 million and exited after 60 hours due to a stop-loss, incurring a loss of $288,000. This marks the 16th failed trade for the whale since turning bearish on August 19, with cumulative losses of $5.25 million over the past month.
According to the morning report published by on-chain analyst Axel Adler Jr., following Bitcoin's rebound to approximately $78,000, the financial pressure on coin holders has significantly eased: Bitcoin's net unrealized loss (NUL) dropped from 18.57% to 7.35% over the past ten days, a decline of roughly 60%. This represents a near 71% decrease from the local peak of 25.21% on June 30, reaching its lowest level since May 11. Meanwhile, the 90-day realized profit/loss ratio rose to 1.003 on August 26, marking the first time it has returned above 1 since late July. This indicates that, calculated on a 90-day smoothed basis, realized profits have slightly exceeded realized losses. Prior to this, the metric stayed below 1 for 26 consecutive days beginning July 31, touching 0.747 on August 16 when BTC traded around $62,800. The report notes that on-chain loss pressure has shifted from dominating to improving, but the profit/loss ratio sits only slightly above the critical threshold, insufficient to confirm a trend reversal. Subsequent monitoring should focus on whether this indicator can sustainably hold its ground and advance, as well as whether unrealized losses remain subdued. If the ratio falls back below 1 and unrealized losses rebound, it may signal renewed selling pressure.

According to Bitcoin.com, Michael Saylor, Executive Chairman of Strategy (MSTR), introduced the concept of "Bitcoin Reformation" in a published article, arguing that Bitcoin should move beyond dogmatic interpretations of early tenets such as Satoshi Nakamoto, the whitepaper, and the "must self-custody" principle, and further integrate into banking, exchanges, corporate sectors, securities markets, and government systems. Saylor stated that while self-custody remains an essential right allowing holders to freely opt out of intermediary systems, it should not be imposed as a mandatory obligation on everyone; users can also evaluate institutional services based on criteria such as custody segregation, collateral, audits, insurance, and withdrawal rights. He believes that Bitcoin has gradually evolved from a peer-to-peer electronic cash system and "digital gold" into "digital capital" capable of supporting credit, equity, currency, and machine economies.
According to Glassnode, Bitcoin has rebounded approximately 26% from its mid-August low, driven primarily by record short liquidations. August 19 marked the largest single-day short liquidation day monitored since 2019, with shorts accounting for 85% of total liquidations within the squeeze window. Over the same period, coin-denominated BTC futures open interest fell by 11%, while perpetual contract funding rates remained largely neutral, indicating that the rally was not accompanied by significant new leveraged long positioning. On the capital flow front, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded cumulative net inflows of $2.23 billion during this window, with no single-day net outflows, marking the strongest consecutive seven-day inflow streak of the year. The 30-day accumulation trend scores for wallets across all size categories remained above 0.5, reflecting broad-based buying coverage throughout the market. However, Glassnode notes that the $81,000–$86,000 zone concentrates the cost basis of long-term holders, sell orders, options market maker negative gamma positioning, and potential short liquidation bands, forming the primary resistance to the current rebound. The report suggests that if BTC holds above $83,300 alongside sustained ETF inflows, it may signal that this supply zone is being absorbed. Downside focus should then shift to the $70,000 short-term holder cost basis, followed by the $62,000–$65,000 support range.

Odaily News - U.S. mortgage lender Better Mortgage and cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase have announced the launch of a bitcoin-backed mortgage product that allows U.S. homebuyers to use BTC as collateral for their down payment loan, eliminating the need to sell their bitcoin holdings. The product is now officially open for applications.The product consists of a Fannie Mae-backed mortgage paired with a separate down payment loan. Borrowers are required to pledge BTC valued at least 250% of the down payment loan amount, with the collateral transferred to Better's custody account on Coinbase Prime. Both loans carry the same interest rate and amortization period, and are repaid through a single monthly payment.A decline in the bitcoin price will not independently trigger a margin call or alter the mortgage terms, but if a borrower falls 60 days or more behind on payments, Better may liquidate the pledged BTC. Applicants must be U.S. residents with a verified Coinbase account, and Coinbase One members can also earn a 1% rebate of up to $10,000, which can be applied toward closing costs and fees.

Odaily News Bitcoin has rebounded strongly recently. Analysts believe that record-breaking short squeeze activity, along with policy signals from U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, may be pushing the market into a new phase of bull market cycle adjustment.Data shows that Bitcoin has risen approximately 23% over the past week, marking its largest weekly gain since the post-U.S. election rally in November 2024. Crypto market trading activity has also recovered in tandem, with spot and perpetual contract trading volume surging 188%. CME Bitcoin futures volume rose 152%, and the annualized futures basis climbed to 11.1%—the highest level since January 2025. Additionally, Bitcoin ETF products recorded net inflows of approximately 31,740 BTC over the week, the strongest capital inflow since the market peak in October 2025.Vetle Lunde, Head of Research at crypto research firm K33 Research, stated that the early phase of this rally was primarily driven by short covering. On August 19, Bitcoin short positions saw a single-day liquidation scale of $1.37 billion, a record high, followed by another $739 million in short liquidations on August 21. The massive short squeeze pushed open interest in perpetual contracts down to 284,000 BTC, the lowest level since May, while market funding rates also returned to neutral.On the macro front, policy signals from U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent regarding increased long-term Treasury buybacks are also viewed by analysts as a market catalyst. K33 believes that the Treasury buyback program could lower long-term interest rates and boost demand for scarce assets. Meanwhile, Bitcoin's correlation with gold has risen, with the 90-day correlation coefficient reaching 0.52—the highest since October 2020—while its correlation with the Nasdaq index has declined to 0.38, a one-year low.Matt Hougan, Chief Investment Officer at crypto investment firm Bitwise Asset Management, believes that Bessent's recent remarks on sanctions against Iran's financial network have further strengthened Bitcoin's investment thesis: as the global financial system becomes increasingly influenced by geopolitics, the value of assets that are decentralized and do not rely on any single nation's financial system may appreciate further.

Bernstein analysts expect that, as the "devaluation trade" becomes a macro theme, Bitcoin is poised to rise to $150,000 by mid-2027 under a base case scenario and reach a cyclical peak of approximately $300,000 in 2029. Analysts believe that rising global sovereign debt and interest expenditures may prompt policymakers to lean toward currency devaluation to ease fiscal pressures, thereby enhancing the appeal of scarce assets like Bitcoin.
Jiang Zhuo'er, founder of B.TOP Mining Pool, noted that ETF fund flows hold critical reference value on the first US equity trading day following a sharp rally in the cryptocurrency market. Data reveals BTC ETF inflows reached $314 million, while ETH ETF inflows hit $180 million, indicating that US capital is actively positioning long. The probability of this rally retracing below its initial breakout level of $67,000 is relatively low.
