DAILY MARKET OVERVIEW
Market Explodes
👋 Hey, Crypto Enthusiasts! The market just ripped higher - and we’ve finally got our answer from the Jackson Hole Conference.
Fed Chair Jerome Powell acknowledged a weakening economy and softer job market, signaling that rate cuts could be on the table in the months ahead.
That was all crypto needed: ETH exploded 10% in a single candle, dragging altcoins along for the ride.
Interestingly, speech notes seemed to leak early, with markets already pumping even before Powell took the stage, giving insiders a head start.
Powell did add some caution: new tariffs are lifting prices, which could keep inflation sticky. The Fed won’t rush into cuts, aiming to balance the risks of unemployment against letting inflation flare up again.
But the market’s verdict was clear: Powell’s remarks = bullish.
👑 The biggest winners? Altcoins. They outpaced BTC by a wide margin, and Bitcoin dominance dropped 1% in a single day. For the first time in a while, it looks like the early stages of an altseason may be forming. Keep an eye on the dominance chart!

Plasma Pre-Market Buzz
Stablecoins are one of the strongest narratives this cycle, and a new project is stepping into the spotlight: Plasma.
Plasma is a high-performance Layer 1 blockchain built specifically for global stablecoin payments.
Its token XPL pre-market is already live on Hyperliquid, trading at $0.49. With a circulating supply of ~1.8B, that gives Plasma a circulating market cap of $880M and an FDV near $5B - setting it up as one of the biggest crypto launches of the year.
Traders are showing growing interest, but the real question is whether Plasma can drive adoption beyond speculation. For now, all eyes are on this pre-market as excitement builds.

Coin Bureau – Top 5 Ethereum Whales Exposed! They Are Going ALL IN ON ETH! (22.08.2025 Summary)
Coin Bureau just broke down the rise of Ethereum treasury companies - basically big firms that are stockpiling ETH in the same way some did with Bitcoin a few years ago.
The top 5 firms together already hold about 2.3 million ETH (nearly 2% of all ETH out there), worth over $10 billion. And get this - they plan to buy billions more, which could push their holdings up to 7% of the total ETH supply.
Why are they doing this? Two big reasons:
ETH can earn yield through staking, so companies grow their holdings faster than if they just sat on Bitcoin.
Investors often buy stock in these companies instead of ETH directly, which can pump the company’s value even higher.
Guy (the host) says this creates a loop - more investors = more ETH buying = higher prices. If it plays out, ETH could smash old highs.
Of course, there’s risk. If these companies mismanage funds or lose investor confidence, they could be forced to sell, dragging ETH’s price down.
But overall, Guy sounds pretty bullish. Wall Street is piling in, ETH demand is growing, and he thinks this could be the start of something big.
Benjamin Cowen – Bitcoin Market Cycles (22.08.2025 Summary)
Benjamin Cowen breaks down Bitcoin’s market cycles by looking at past patterns to understand where we might be now.
Cycle Timing: Previous Bitcoin cycles lasted around 1,060 days from bottom to top. We’re currently just over 1,000 days in, which points to the possibility of a peak later this year, likely in Q4. But history shows tops have varied between November and December, so exact timing is uncertain.
Halving Measure: Another way to track cycles is by looking at days after the Bitcoin halving. The last two cycles peaked about 525-546 days after the halving. We’re now around day 489, so again, a potential top could be coming in the next few months.
Diminishing Returns: Each cycle has shown smaller returns compared to the last. Bitcoin tends to run ahead of schedule, stall for months, then catch back up to past cycle trends. This cycle has followed that same pattern.
Takeaway: While no one can call the exact top, history suggests we’re entering the window where Bitcoin could peak. Staying cautious and aware of diminishing returns is key.
