Bitcoin Market Update – August 14th, 2025

Following the forecast in my last updates:

• On August 11th, we had Mercury station direct, which often marks a trend change or short-term reversal. As expected, that day brought a local high followed by a pullback.

• Today, August 14th, Bitcoin printed a new all-time high at $124,517, but it was short-lived. Price quickly reversed, falling over $8,500 intraday, stopping exactly at the key resistance/support flip zone around $117,700 — the same level discussed in previous updates.

Outlook & Short-Term Expectation

We are now entering Mercury's shadow period, which often brings choppy, indecisive, and corrective behavior.

I expect the trend to consolidate or drift lower over the next 7–10 days, with potential downside targets around $114,000, possibly even retesting the $112K area.

This would align well with the astro window building toward the next pivot dates:

• August 20th

• August 22nd

• August 25th

These are important cycle markers and could offer either reversal setups or continuation signals depending on the structure by then.

🔥 Ethereum & Alts in Focus

While BTC is consolidating, Ethereum is taking center stage:

• ETH is now only ~$100 below its 2021 ATH of $4,870, after a shallow $300 pullback that stopped cleanly at $4,500 support.

• The strength and momentum in ETH suggest it's positioning for a breakout to new highs soon.

• I believe Ethereum will exceed $7,000 this cycle, but I’ll provide exact upside targets in upcoming reports.

 Altcoins are performing well, with many showing bullish structures and strong recoveries.

✅ I continue to accumulate selectively on dips, focusing on high-conviction setups and chart-confirmed structures.

📌 Final Notes

• We remain in a confirmed bull trend, but the market is working through a mid-cycle recalibration phase.

• Stay patient during this Mercury shadow phase, avoid overtrading the chop, and use dips to position into strength.
