On August 16, 2025, the Bitcoin (BTC) market experienced a short-term adjustment, with the price falling from the high of $124,500 on August 14 to around $117,300, a decrease of about 5.8%. Despite the cautious short-term sentiment in the market, institutional investors still demonstrate confidence in the long-term development of Bitcoin.



Market analysis shows that Bitcoin is currently facing a key support range of $115,000 to $117,000, and if it falls below this range, it may further test the $113,000 level. On the other hand, the range of $112,000 to $114,000 is viewed as a potential buying area for institutional investors, which may trigger a rebound at this position. In the short term, $119,000 to $120,000 constitutes significant resistance, and breaking through this range may challenge the previous highs of $123,000 to $125,000.

It is worth noting that despite a short-term pullback, the trading volume of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs remains high, totaling $1.15 billion, reflecting that overall market liquidity is still ample. This phenomenon suggests that even during periods of price volatility, investor participation in the cryptocurrency market remains high.

The attitude of institutional investors has become the focus of market attention. Although the Fear & Greed index shows that market sentiment leans towards neutral, some retail investors choose to wait and see. However, large institutions like BlackRock are still increasing their holdings of Bitcoin at low levels, indicating that they remain optimistic about the long-term prospects of Bitcoin. This continuous inflow of institutional funds may provide stronger support for the Bitcoin market.

Looking ahead, the Bitcoin market may continue to seek direction amidst short-term fluctuations. Investors need to closely monitor breakthroughs or support at key technical levels, while also paying attention to changes in the macroeconomic environment and regulatory policies, as these factors could significantly impact Bitcoin prices. In this market filled with opportunities and challenges, maintaining a rational and long-term investment perspective will become particularly important.
