August 25, 2025 — Bitcoin slipped below the $110,000 level for the first time since July 9, triggering fresh alarm among investors watching the cryptocurrency’s volatile price action.
As of 23:37 PM, Bitcoin was trading at $109,917, marking a 2.13% drop, and slid further to $109,839 (−2.47%) by 23:58PM.
What’s Driving the Decline?

Investor Sentiment Shifts: The Crypto Fear & Greed Index remains in neutral territory, at 47/48, suggesting a balanced—albeit cautious—market mood (sources: Alternative.me & CoinCodex).
Short-Term Holder Capitulation: Reports also indicate that speculators are rushing to exit positions at a loss, moving ~23,500 BTC to exchanges—another bearish indicator.
Forecast Scenarios
If Bitcoin can reclaim the $110K–$112K band and push above its 20-day EMA (~$113,500), it could stabilize and attempt a recovery toward the $115K–$118K zone.
Conversely, a drop below $110K risks dragging prices down to $105K or even $100K, especially amid rising liquidation pressures.
Still, firms like VanEck remain bullish, maintaining a year-end target of $180,000, citing continued institutional demand.
Watch This Space
A bounce above $113K–$115K could signal renewed strength.
Persistent weakness below $110K may set off a deeper plunge.
Monitoring institutional flow and large-holder behavior remains critical.
