1. Bitcoin Market

Bitcoin Price Trend (2025/08/02-2025/08/08)
This week, Bitcoin presented an overall price structure of "high-level correction - bottoming - stepwise rise," accompanied by macro data and policy disturbances, with market sentiment initially suppressed and then rebounding.

Correction Phase (August 2 - August 3)

After a significant correction on August 1, the weak trend continued on August 2, with prices declining from around $115,608 to $112,984. On August 3, selling pressure continued to be released, further dropping from around $114,000 to $112,044, marking the week's low and triggering a liquidation of leveraged long positions exceeding $1 billion in the crypto market.

This decline was primarily driven by two factors:

  1. The U.S. non-farm payroll data for July fell short of expectations, exacerbating concerns about slowing economic growth.
  2. The U.S. announced a new round of tariff policies, leading to synchronized pressure on global risk assets, with crypto assets declining in tandem with U.S. stocks and commodity markets.

From a technical perspective, the $112,000 level played a key support role, forming a temporary bottom in the short term, with signs of a stop-loss emerging.

Recovery Phase (August 3 - August 8)

Volatile Rebound (August 3 - August 5)
After rebounding from the low of $112,044, Bitcoin reached a temporary high of $115,698 on August 5, followed by profit-taking, with prices correcting to $112,760. However, this low was higher than the previous correction low, indicating an enhanced buying capacity.

Stepwise Rise (August 6 - August 8)
Starting from August 6, prices exhibited a typical "climb - slight correction - re-peak" stepwise rising structure. Each correction low was elevated, forming a clear short-term ascending channel. Prices rose sequentially to $114,161, $115,694, $116,828, and $117,619. As of the time of writing on August 8, Bitcoin prices remained at $117,553. By the end of the week, Bitcoin had risen compared to the beginning of the week, and market sentiment had significantly recovered from the initial correction.

Outlook

In the short term, the structure remains oscillating upward, with effective support from the ascending channel. If it can effectively break through and stabilize above the $116,000 level, it may challenge the $118,000 - $120,000 range above. However, caution is needed regarding macro uncertainties and technical correction risks, especially if it falls below the support at $112,000, which may test the psychological level of $110,000 again. Key areas to monitor include: changes in ETF fund inflows/outflows; U.S. CPI and PPI data releases; and policy statements from Federal Reserve officials and other macro information.

In the long term, despite short-term volatility intensifying, the long-term bullish structure of Bitcoin has not been disrupted. Favorable factors such as the gradual improvement of the regulatory framework, the expansion of stablecoin scale, and institutions accelerating tokenization layouts remain firmly in place. If global risk asset sentiment warms up, coupled with a rebound in net inflows of spot ETF funds, Bitcoin is expected to challenge historical highs again within the year.

2. Market Dynamics and Macro Background

Fund Flows

1. Although there is significant outflow pressure from ETFs, signs of later inflow are emerging

Data shows that Bitcoin spot ETFs faced large-scale redemptions in the first two days of this week, creating temporary downward pressure. However, on August 6 and August 7, there were two consecutive days of fund inflow, indicating a relief in selling pressure. The specific daily data is as follows:

  • August 4: -$323.5 million (the largest single-day outflow this week)

  • August 5: -$196.2 million (on that day, IBIT, FBTC, and GBTC collectively redeemed $196.2 million, with nearly $100 million flowing out of Fidelity's FBTC)

  • August 6: +$9.16 million (brief fund inflow)

  • August 7: +$12.08 million (inflow strength further increased)

ETF inflow/outflow data image

Weekly statistics show that Bitcoin spot ETFs had a cumulative net outflow of approximately $307 million this week, with the main pressure concentrated at the beginning of the week. However, the inflow trend in the latter half of the week helped to restore sentiment.

It is worth noting that on August 1, the total net outflow of Bitcoin spot ETFs reached $812 million, setting the second-highest single-day outflow record in history, highlighting the extreme risk-averse sentiment in the market at the beginning of the month.

The outflow of funds at the beginning of the week was mainly influenced by the Federal Reserve's hawkish stance and better-than-expected U.S. employment and GDP data, which strengthened the dollar and suppressed risk asset sentiment.
Starting mid-week, the inflow of funds may be related to Bitcoin prices finding support in the technical support zone and some institutions buying the dip, indicating that there is room for short-term sentiment recovery.

2. Institutional internal operations diverge: ETF issuers reduce holdings vs. treasury-type institutions increase holdings

  • According to Arkham data, ETF issuers such as Fidelity, Grayscale, and BlackRock have transferred BTC to exchanges this week, suspected to be for reduction operations.

  • Fidelity had a single-day outflow of 2,965 BTC

  • BlackRock transferred 2,544 BTC to Coinbase Prime

  • In contrast, several Bitcoin treasury companies (such as Empery Digital, H100, Metaplanet) have been steadily increasing their holdings, showing a divergence in strategies among different types of institutions.

3. On-chain data: Large holders and retail investors are both increasing their holdings, indicating a "buy on dips" market

  • Glassnode data shows that in the past 15 days:

  • Large holders with over 10,000 BTC have increased their holdings

  • Retail investors holding less than 1 BTC have also significantly increased their holdings

  • The market is forming a "buy on dips" sentiment in the current price range.

4. OTC market supply tightens, exchanges may face liquidity pressure

  • According to Cointelegraph, OTC platform reserves have dropped to 155,000 BTC, nearing historical lows.

  • Analysts believe that once OTC supply runs dry, major buyers may turn to exchanges for accumulation, potentially triggering a supply shock that drives prices up.

  • Currently, the BTC balance on exchanges is 2.919 million, with over $1 billion in profits realized within 24 hours, of which $358 million comes from long-term investors holding for 7-10 years.

5. MicroStrategy significantly increases holdings, consolidating market confidence

  • This week it was confirmed that MicroStrategy purchased a total of 21,021 BTC from late July to early August, with a total cost of approximately $2.46 billion, bringing its total holdings to 628,791 BTC, ranking first among global enterprises.

  • Against the backdrop of ETF outflows, the actions of such steadfast holders inject medium- to long-term confidence into the market.

6. Institutions increased their holdings by 166,000 BTC in July, with a market value of $42.8 billion

  • According to The Block, institutions collectively increased their holdings by 166,000 BTC in July, bringing total holdings to 3.64 million BTC (worth approximately $42.8 billion).

  • Public companies made significant contributions, with MicroStrategy alone adding 31,400 BTC.

  • During the same period, Ethereum ETFs saw net inflows of about $73.2 million, and assets like Solana also received allocations, indicating a strengthening trend in multi-chain asset investment.

Viewpoint: Pressure at the beginning of the week, recovery over the weekend, and mid-term bottoming signals strengthen

In the short term: The first two days of this week saw significant ETF fund outflows (a total of $520 million on August 4 and 5), reflecting the market's reaction to high interest rates and macro uncertainties, leading to temporary price pressure. However, since August 6, there have been two consecutive days of fund inflow (a total of +$212.4 million), indicating that selling pressure has been partially released, with signs of sentiment recovery in the short term.

In the mid-term: Continuous accumulation by on-chain and corporate treasuries is building a support range below, especially as OTC reserves continue to decline and exchange liquidity tightens, which may lead to a supply-demand reversal in the future, stabilizing and pushing prices up.

Confidence indicators: Long-term steadfast holders like MicroStrategy continue to increase their positions despite ETF outflows, indicating that "faith-based funds" are not affected by short-term volatility, and the medium- to long-term bullish logic remains valid.

Summary

This week, Bitcoin's funding situation exhibited a "two-phase" trend of pressure followed by stability: large-scale redemptions of ETFs at the beginning of the week led to pressure, but the inflow of funds and on-chain accumulation in the latter half of the week provided support. Although short-term volatility risks remain, market panic has been partially digested; mid-term supply tightening and institutional confidence persist, accumulating momentum for the next upward move. The current range may become an important observation period for value allocation.

Technical Indicator Analysis

1. Relative Strength Index (RSI 14)
According to Investing.com data, as of August 8, 2025, Bitcoin's 14-day RSI is 58.17, positioned in the neutral to bullish zone (50~70 range). This indicates that bullish momentum still dominates the market, but it has not yet entered the overbought zone (>70), suggesting there is still some room for short-term upward movement.

2. Moving Average (MA) Analysis

  • MA5 (5-day moving average): $116,198

  • MA20 (20-day moving average): $118,015

  • MA50 (50-day moving average): $112,479

  • MA100 (100-day moving average): $103,757

  • Current price: $116,819

MA5, MA20, MA50, MA100 data image

From the arrangement of moving averages, the price is running above the MA50 and MA100, indicating that the medium- to long-term trend remains bullish; however, the MA5 has fallen below the MA20, suggesting there may be some adjustment pressure in the short term. If the price can regain and stabilize above the MA20, it will help to extend the upward trend.

3. Key Support and Resistance Levels

  • Support Levels: The key short-term support levels are at $116,000 and $115,000, with the core support zone below at $113,000~$115,000. If the price remains above this range, it will continue to consolidate the short-term bullish structure; if it falls below $113,000, attention should be paid to the support at $112,000.

  • Resistance Levels: The primary short-term resistance is at $117,000; if this level is broken, the next target will be $118,000 (which is also near the MA20), and further breakthroughs may challenge the $120,000 level.

Comprehensive Analysis
Currently, Bitcoin's price is in a short-term oscillating consolidation phase, with the RSI indicating that the market is not overheated, and bulls still have some room to exert influence; the moving average system suggests a bullish medium- to long-term trend, but there is a possibility of a pullback towards the MA20 for confirmation in the short term. In terms of operations, it is recommended to focus on the support zone of $113,000--$115,000 and the breakout opportunities at $117,000--$118,000; if a breakout occurs with volume, a bullish view towards the $120,000 area can be taken. If the core support zone is breached, adjustment risks should be guarded against.

Market Sentiment Analysis

Key Sentiment Indicator (Fear & Greed Index)

As of August 8, the Fear & Greed Index is reported at 59, positioned at the upper end of the "neutral" range, nearing the threshold of mild greed, indicating that market sentiment is shifting from cautious observation to relatively optimistic adjustments.

Looking back at this week (August 2 - August 7), the daily values of the Fear & Greed Index were: 51 (neutral), 48 (neutral to fear), 52 (neutral), 55 (neutral to optimistic), 52 (neutral), 54 (neutral). This week, the index remained in the 48-55 range, with limited fluctuations, overall in a moderately stable state. In the short term, there has not been extreme emotional volatility in the market, which to some extent reflects that investors are waiting for further price signals or macro data stimuli, and sentiment has not shown a clear directional tilt.

Structurally, the low point of the index this week occurred on August 3 (48), possibly related to the decrease in market trading volume and the release of some short-seller sentiment; while the high point occurred on August 5 (55), corresponding to the short-term rebound of Bitcoin prices stabilizing at key support levels. Although the index surged to 59 on August 8, it has not yet entered the "greed" zone, indicating that the current market's capital entry momentum is more of a gentle probe rather than a large-scale emotion-driven chase.

Overall, the current trend of the Fear & Greed Index exhibits characteristics of moderate sentiment recovery but insufficient momentum, with a relatively balanced short-term long-short game, and future trends may rely more on macroeconomic data, regulatory news, and breakthroughs at key Bitcoin price levels.

3. Dollar Weakens and Rate Cut Expectations Increase

Due to recent weak labor market data and the impact of the Trump administration's personnel arrangements on the Federal Reserve, the market widely expects the Federal Reserve to cut rates in September. The dollar index has come under pressure and fallen, supporting risk assets such as gold and cryptocurrencies.

This macro environment has driven Bitcoin and other assets to rise.

4. Trump nominates pro-crypto candidate to the Federal Reserve Board

On August 7, Trump nominated economist Stephen Miran, who supports crypto assets, for a seat on the Federal Reserve Board, reinforcing market expectations for a more accommodative monetary policy from the Federal Reserve and support for digital assets.

This news helped Bitcoin prices rise by about 2% in the short term, briefly breaking through $117,500.

3. Hash Rate Changes

This week, the Bitcoin network hash rate experienced a volatile trend of "climbing - retreating - climbing again." From August 2 to 3, the hash rate remained stable in the range of 900 EH/s to 1 ZH/s, indicating that the network's computing power is at a strong support level. On August 4, the network's computing power saw a significant increase, reaching a weekly high of 1.2048 ZH/s, reflecting miners' active increase in computing power deployment. Subsequently, on August 5, the hash rate quickly retreated to around 900 EH/s. From August 6 to 8, the hash rate gradually recovered from this week's low of 832.81 EH/s, rising to 1.0901 ZH/s by noon on August 7, indicating strong recovery momentum. On August 8, the hash rate slightly retreated to 996.67 EH/s, with fluctuations converging, and the network's computing power overall remained high.

Weekly Bitcoin network hash rate data

From the data of the past six months, the Bitcoin network hash rate shows a steady upward trend, reflecting miners' confidence in the network's future prospects. Since late June 2025, the hash rate has experienced increased volatility, possibly closely related to fluctuations in global energy prices, updates to mining equipment, and geopolitical events. Since early 2025, the hash rate has continuously climbed from the 700-900 EH/s range, gradually stabilizing at the 900-1000 EH/s level, with multiple breakthroughs of the key psychological level of 1 ZH/s, demonstrating a significant improvement in network security and miner participation.

Six-month Bitcoin network hash rate data

From an annual perspective, the growth of the hash rate is particularly evident. In August 2024, the Bitcoin network hash rate was approximately in the range of 550 EH/s to 700 EH/s, while it is currently stabilizing at the level of 900 EH/s to 1.1 ZH/s. This reflects significant enhancements in the technological upgrades of the Bitcoin mining industry and the expansion efforts of miners, further strengthening the Bitcoin network's security capabilities. The continuous growth of the hash rate typically indicates an improvement in the network's resistance to potential attacks, as well as a sign of miners' optimistic expectations regarding mining economic benefits.

  • Monthly Range: Positioned in the lower range of the past 30 days;

  • Quarterly Range: At the median level within three months;

  • Annual Range: Still at a mid-high level for the year, indicating that unit hash rate earnings remain relatively strong.

Hashprice data

Review of July Monthly Mining Revenue

According to The Block data, Bitcoin miners' total revenue in July 2025 was approximately $1.66 billion, a month-on-month increase of about 19.4% compared to May 2024 ($1.39 billion), setting a record for the highest monthly mining revenue since the halving in April 2024, mainly benefiting from:

  • Bitcoin prices stabilizing at high levels;

  • Active block transactions, increasing fee income;

  • Fluctuations in network computing power providing some miners with short-term excess profit space.

Bitcoin miners' monthly revenue data

JPMorgan's Viewpoint

According to CoinDesk, JPMorgan (JPM) released a research report on August 1, stating that Bitcoin mining profits in July 2025 reached the highest level since the halving, reflecting the ongoing resilience of the current mining economy.

Key data includes:

  • Unit hash rate earnings: Average daily block reward income per EH/s is $57,400, a 4% increase from June;

  • Profit Comparison: Despite a noticeable rebound, unit earnings and gross profits are still 43% and 50% lower, respectively, compared to pre-halving levels;

  • Network hash rate: Monthly average of 899 EH/s, a 4% increase from June;

  • Mining difficulty: Increased by 9% at the end of July, up 48% compared to pre-halving;

  • Mining company performance: Among the 13 U.S. listed mining companies tracked by JPM, 10 outperformed Bitcoin, with the best performer, Argo Blockchain (ARBK), rising by 66%, while the worst performer, Core Scientific (CORZ), fell by 21%.

Summary

Although Hashprice has shown short-term fluctuations recently, overall miner revenue remains high, with July's revenue setting a new high since the halving, reflecting the collaborative support of market prices, fees, and network hash rate for the profitability of mining operations. Future attention should focus on Bitcoin price trends, adjustments in mining difficulty, and the impact of extreme weather on computing power stability.

5. Energy Costs and Mining Efficiency

According to CloverPool data, as of August 8, 2025, the total Bitcoin network hash rate reached 966.44 EH/s, with a mining difficulty of 127.62T. The next difficulty adjustment is expected to occur on August 9, 2025, with an estimated increase of about 2.03%, bringing the difficulty to approximately 130.21T. This indicates that the Bitcoin network's computing power continues to remain high, with intense competition among miners, steadily enhancing network security and stability.

Bitcoin mining difficulty data

From the perspective of mining costs, according to MacroMicro's latest model calculations, as of August 6, 2025, the unit production cost of Bitcoin is approximately $91,781.52, while the spot price during the same period is $115,028.00, resulting in a mining cost-to-price ratio of 0.80, indicating that miners still have about 20% gross profit margin on average. This data shows that the current Bitcoin price not only covers miners' energy and hardware depreciation costs but also provides a certain profit margin.

At the same time, the on-chain indicator Puell Multiple remains in the range of 1.30-1.32. The Puell Multiple measures the ratio of the daily Bitcoin issuance value to its annual average issuance value, used to assess miners' profitability and the degree of market overheating. The current level indicates that miners' profitability is relatively healthy, not yet reaching the overheating zone of historical highs, but remaining in a moderately profitable range, supporting miners' willingness to continue mining.

Total mining cost per Bitcoin data

In summary, the current Bitcoin mining ecosystem maintains a good profitability status. Miners, facing continuous increases in hash rate and difficulty adjustments, rely on technological upgrades and energy structure optimization to maintain high mining efficiency. Overall, the security of the Bitcoin network continues to strengthen, while the balance of mining cost control and profit margins will become important influencing factors for future market dynamics.

French far-right party National Rally plans to draft a bill to mine Bitcoin using excess power from nuclear plants

On August 4, it was reported by Le Monde that the far-right party National Rally in France is preparing to draft a bill to mine Bitcoin using excess power from nuclear plants. In 2016, the party's presidential candidate Marine Le Pen stated that she wanted to ban virtual currencies, including Bitcoin, arguing that they were products manipulated by the "elite" and "Wall Street lobbying forces."

Viewpoint: Trump's tariffs squeeze U.S. Bitcoin mining companies, miners will face slowed growth

On August 6, it was reported by The Block that Ethan Vera, COO of Luxor Technology, stated that U.S. Bitcoin miners are preparing for slowed growth following the White House's imposition of high reciprocal tariffs on Bitcoin mining machines from Southeast Asia. The new tariff rates took effect on August 7, imposing a 19% reciprocal tariff on ASIC miners from Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand, bringing the total import tax rate for these countries to 21.6%.

The tariffs have led to reduced demand from U.S. customers, with mining machines flowing to countries with more lenient import policies, such as Canada. Under the 21.6% tariff, the U.S. has become one of the least competitive regions for importing mining machines, and miners are considering expanding into Canada and other markets. Ethan Vera predicts that if the tariffs fully impact the industry supply chain, Russia will become a major beneficiary, reshaping the global mining hash rate landscape and slowing growth in the U.S.

UK oil and gas companies Union Jack Oil and Reabold Resources plan to use stranded natural gas to mine Bitcoin
