Bitcoin does not correct, it transfers: this is how the game progresses in silence.
Bitcoin is trading around 117,700 dollars, almost motionless in the last 24 hours, but with a slight loss of 0.4% in the last week and 2% in the last month.
August 13 marked a peak of 124,500 dollars and since then the correction was triggered. The superficial narrative talks about a pullback and market cooling, but that is just the facade. What has really moved the board in these days is not the whales, but the retail mass that, trapped in volatility, ended up liquidating positions in cascade.
On-chain data shows that behind that apparent storm, institutional demand remains intact. While small players sold under pressure, the big players remained calm and continued to absorb the available supply. The price may seem flat, but what is flat here is just the surface of a deeper movement. #bitcoin
The price of Ethereum is sharply retreating, is there a cause for concern?
During the first part of this Monday, the price of Ethereum's native coin, ETH, is experiencing a strong retreat. This drop occurs alongside the rest of the major assets in the cryptocurrency market. For example, BTC, SOL, and XRP also record significant declines. Is this a healthy correction or a cause for alarm?
Although there are alarmist voices regarding the current pullback in the crypto world, the conditions do not seem severe. Recently, the price of BTC reached an all-time high of $124.4k, which some whales took advantage of to collect profits. Similarly, ETH whales also saw an opportunity amidst the current climate of tension.

Analyst: Bitcoin's rise to 122,000 dollars was "just a matter of time" Bitcoin has surpassed 122,000 dollars, coming in at less than 1% of its all-time high, after last week's pro-cryptocurrency executive order from the White House and three solid days of inflows into Bitcoin ETFs.
Based on your prediction that Bitcoin will change by 5% per year, the price of Bitcoin will be: 119,107.80 $ in 2026 144,776.28 $ in 2030 184,775.29 $ in 2035 and 235,825.30 $ in 2040.
One of the creators of Bitcoin is selling 80,000 bitcoins and their motivation is not to become a millionaire: they want to stop the market.
The owner is selling the 80,000 bitcoins after 14 years without a single movement OnChainSchool: "It's a repeated pattern to stop rises and generate FUD" This pattern resembles that of the bond vigilantes in the debt market.
$BTC Bitcoin rose 0.4% to $118,503.1 at 07:03 (05:30). The largest cryptocurrency in the world has largely remained within a range below $120,000 after reaching all-time highs in early July.

Will China loosen its control over critical mineral exports?
Will China loosen its control over critical mineral exports?
Analysts at Capital Economics questioned in a client note on Thursday whether China will loosen its control over critical mineral exports after June trade data showed a rebound in rare earth exports.
Despite the increase, the firm added that shipments remain well below pre-Liberation Day levels.
Analysts point out that after pressure from the U.S. and other trading partners, China agreed to increase the pace of export license approvals in June.
June trade data suggests that Beijing met the commitment, with rare earth exports more than doubling between May and June. However, "China's rare earth exports remain weak," Capital Economics stated, noting that they are nearly 40% lower than in June of last year.
Additionally, exports of other critical minerals have continued to decline, according to the firm.
"While the declines in rare earth exports following the export controls in April were particularly pronounced, China's critical mineral exports have been plummeting sharply since the beginning of this year," the firm added.
While Trump announced last month that China had agreed to supply "complete magnets and any rare earths needed... in advance," Capital Economics said that China's signals have been less positive.
"China shows few signs of being willing to loosen its control over the global supply of critical metals," the firm commented.
"The conclusion is that, although China's relationship with the U.S. seems to be improving, Beijing will continue to maintain strict control over critical mineral exports," Capital Economics concluded.

Dominance of 43% of Bitcoin on social media suggests that a "key entry point" is approaching. Santiment states that the "historical peak of social dominance" could indicate another buying opportunity for Bitcoin in the short term. #BTCvsETH #BinanceHODLerERA Almost half of all cryptocurrency-related mentions on social media this week focused on Bitcoin, as it reached new highs, a level of dominance that could indicate a local peak and a possible short-term pullback, according to the sentiment analysis platform Santiment.
"As Bitcoin's market value surpassed USD 123,100 for the first time in its over 17-year history, there was an equally historic surge in its 'social dominance,'" said Santiment analyst Brian Quinlivan in a report published on Wednesday.
