Cryptocurrency Trend Outlook for August 2025: Bitcoin’s Potential Accumulation: $140,000 the Next Potential Target?

BTC, ETH, and SOL ended July on a strong note — yet August may emerge as the true test for their momentum.

Key Takeaways: Bitcoin lingers below $120,000, yet institutional accumulation and low volatility hint at an imminent major shift in momentum. Ethereum topped large-cap crypto gains in July, fueled by ETF inflows and robust Layer 2 activity — with $4,000 emerging as its next critical threshold to test. Solana holds steady around $200, supported by rising DeFi trading volumes, ETF speculation, and surging on-chain momentum. August brims with market-shaping events, from inflation data to the Jackson Hole symposium — all focus turns to macro trends and momentum sustainability.

Following a solid July finish, crypto markets head into August carrying both momentum and caution. Bitcoin (BTC) stays range-bound, Ethereum (ETH) is buoyed by institutional inflows, and Solana (SOL) keeps expanding as an on-chain hub. Each now stands on the cusp of critical levels—both technical and psychological.
Meanwhile, macroeconomic dynamics have reclaimed center stage. U.S. inflation figures, renewed tariff tensions, and key policy cues from Jackson Hole all pose risks of jolting market sentiment this month. As altcoin activity picks up steam and ETF speculation spreads, August could set the trajectory for the remainder of Q3.
Bitcoin’s Price Stabilizes — ‘A Major Breakout Looms’
Bitcoin traded in a tight range between \(115,000 and \)118,000 through most of July—a surprisingly subdued month for the top cryptocurrency. Even a mid-July push to retake the $120,000 mark fizzled out quickly, leaving the market in a phase of low volatility and thin trading consolidation.
According to Abbas Abdul Sater, Head of Sales at Capital.com, this kind of calm could be setting the stage for something bigger:

Part of the optimism stems from improving macro conditions. U.S. GDP growth and a recovering labor market have boosted global risk appetite. Stocks are trending higher, and interest in risk-on assets like crypto is slowly picking up again — a setup that could support Bitcoin in early August.

 


‘A Move Toward $6,000–$7,200 Is Realistic’ for Ethereum

Ethereum posted a strong rebound in July, adding nearly 50% over the month and closing above $3,500 — a level not seen since early spring. This performance added fresh fuel to what many are calling the start of altcoin season.
