Bitcoin (BTC) reached an all-time high of $123,400 in July 2025 but subsequently corrected 7% to trade near $114,000 in early August amid technical adjustments and macroeconomic pressures. Historical data indicates Bitcoin typically performs strongly in Q4, and current on-chain metrics suggest a potential resurgence toward the $200,000 target.
Key bullish signals include sustained exchange outflows, with $21.49 million withdrawn on August 5 alone, extending a negative netflow trend since mid-April that indicates long-term accumulation. Bitcoin's NVT ratio declined 32% to 29.2, signaling valuations align more closely with transactional utility than speculation. Miner OTC balances hit a multi-year low of 147,500 BTC, reflecting reduced selling pressure, while weighted sentiment turned positive at 0.186 after months of volatility.
Binance's elevated stablecoin reserves suggest substantial sidelined capital poised to re-enter the market. Glassnode data shows steady accumulation between $109,000-$116,000 and minimal selling at $118,000-$120,000, indicating investor confidence. Analysts from TeraHash, Fundstrat, and Tim Draper project year-end targets of $130,000-$250,000, citing catalysts like ETF inflows, potential Fed rate cuts in September, and MiCA regulatory clarity.
