The analysis reviews crypto market movements for the week of August 17, 2025. Bitcoin experienced a decline, sliding nearly 8% in August from approximately $124,000 to $113,000, attributed to traders pausing for Powell's Jackson Hole remarks. This pullback briefly capped risk appetite. Ethereum, on the other hand, surged to a new all-time high of around $4,845, marking a 14% increase on dovish signals and now sits well above $4,800, up about 45% year-to-date. With Powell signaling a possible September rate cut, risk assets rallied across crypto. Bitcoin climbed back toward about $116,500. Institutional demand is increasing. Long-term analysts remain bullish, with some forecasting runs toward $200,000 over the next cycle. Analyst split sees peaks in the $135-150K range if flows stay hot. Monitor options, ETF flows and Fed signals which shape the next leg.
