In recent days, buyers in the crypto market aimed to push prices to new all-time highs. That attempt has failed for now. For Bitcoin, a double peak is forming, which does not confirm a bigger correction yet, but it will take time to see how far sellers can push prices down.
Attention is now turning to the HYPER project, a crypto payment-focused initiative designed to combine Bitcoin’s security with the speed and low transaction costs of networks like Solana.
The project is raising money through an ICO (initial coin offering) and is close to reaching $10 million. Yesterday, US showed slightly below expectations, but core inflation above target. This has raised the chance of another to over 90% and gave the US dollar a short-term boost.
Key Factors Fueling HYPER’s Growth Potential
Bitcoin, often called digital gold, remains a strong hedge against the erosion of purchasing power in traditional currencies. Its weakness lies in payments, where high fees and slow speeds limit day-to-day use. HYPER aims to bridge this gap, combining Bitcoin’s security with the fast, low-cost transaction capabilities of networks like Solana.
Built on Bitcoin’s second layer and powered by the Solana Virtual Machine, HYPER will allow users to move BTC from the primary layer to a faster payment layer, execute transactions, and then burn tokens on the second layer as they move back. This design promises speed without sacrificing Bitcoin’s trust factor.
Still in pre-sale with no fixed end date, HYPER could scale based on investor demand — positioning itself as a future-ready blend of store-of-value strength and real-world payment utility.
Bitcoin Holds the Line at Historical Highs
Bitcoin’s upward momentum faces a pause as sellers defend the $123,000 historical peak, creating the potential for a double top. Buyers are holding the short-term uptrend line, but a breakdown could open the way for a test of the $118,000 level.
In the medium to long term, the base case remains a continued push higher, with $130,000 as the next major target.
Ethereum Rally Driven by Strong Demand
After a sluggish run from May to July, Ethereum momentum has finally shifted in August. A strong rally has pushed prices through successive resistance levels, breaking decisively above the $4,000 mark and signaling renewed strength on the demand side.
This breakout sets the stage for buyers to target Ethereum’s all-time highs just below the $5,000 mark. Short-term pullbacks could offer entry points, with a key support confluence around $4,100 from the accelerated trend line. A deeper retreat toward $3,500 would likely require a sharp shift in sentiment.
