Weekly Trading Analysis: A Detailed Breakdown of Market Momentum BTC 25th August – 31st August 2025
Bitcoin continued its volatile streak through the final week of August as traders digested macro headwinds and technical breakouts across multiple timeframes. After last week’s significant selling pressure, this week began with further downside momentum before finding some stability midweek. Both hourly and daily charts reveal key levels where traders remain focused for potential reversals or trend continuations.
Hourly Analysis
The week opened with Bitcoin trading below both the 50 EMA and the 200 EMA after last week’s selloff set a bearish tone. Monday and Tuesday extended this downside, with price struggling to reclaim the 50 EMA, signaling ongoing seller strength.
By midweek, Bitcoin attempted several recoveries, even spiking above the 50 EMA briefly, but each push was met with heavy resistance near the 200 EMA, keeping overall momentum capped.
Late Thursday into Friday saw another wave of selling pressure, driving price back toward the weekly lows around the $108K–$109K region. Volume spikes during this period hinted at forced liquidations and stop-loss triggers as volatility expanded.
However, Sunday closed with a minor relief rally as buyers stepped in at the $108K psychological level, helping Bitcoin recover slightly into the close but still leaving the broader trend bearish heading into September.
Daily Analysis
From a higher timeframe perspective, the daily chart confirms the bearish bias established after the mid-August highs. Price continues to trade below the 50 EMA, which is now flattening, suggesting loss of bullish momentum seen in early August.
The key support level at $108K has so far held, with multiple wicks rejecting below it, indicating some dip-buying interest. However, unless Bitcoin can reclaim the $112K–$113K region and close back above the 50 EMA, the bias remains tilted to the downside.
The $108K support and the $115K resistance now form the critical range heading into the new month.
Summary
This week reflected consolidation after heavy selling earlier in August. Hourly charts showed failed attempts to reclaim key moving averages, while the daily structure continues to lean bearish with no confirmed breakout signals yet.
Heading into September, traders should watch for:
A sustained reclaim of the 50 EMA on both hourly and daily charts to shift momentum bullish.
The $108K support level; a breakdown here could open the door to deeper retracements toward $105K or even $100K.
Macro events or regulatory headlines that could drive volatility back into risk assets.
At this stage, Bitcoin remains range-bound with sellers in control until proven otherwise.
