Cryptocurrencies Price Prediction: Bitcoin, Ethereum & Pepe — Asian Wrap 15 August

Bitcoin drops below $59K following US government's $591 million Silk Road BTC transfer

Bitcoin briefly dropped below $59K on Wednesday following news that the US government had moved 10,000 BTC to Coinbase Prime. On-chain data also shows a trend change in Bitcoin's price correlation to the BTCE fund reserves.

Ethereum ETF inflows and low CPI could help ETH stage rally amid Jump Crypto headwind

Ethereum (ETH) is down 1.7% on Wednesday as low Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation data and rising ETH ETF inflows hint that a rally may be imminent. However, a key trendline suggests ETH may repeat history by consolidating for a few weeks before beginning a fresh upward move.

PEPE could decline further as long-term holders continue to shed holdings

PEPE is down nearly 2% on Wednesday following key insights that long-term holders have been consistently booking profits since March. The move appears to be creating a head-and-shoulder pattern on the daily chart for PEPE, which can trigger a heavy correction.

Market dynamics shifted toward risk aversion after last week's US midterms, resulting in a 5% rebound in Gold as a safe-haven asset, while BTC’s high-risk nature led to a 4% loss in the same period.

Crypto Today: Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Ripple extend downtrend as selling pressure mounts

Pi Network hits record low as bearish pressure overwhelms rebound hopes

Pi Network is trading at a record low, with over 5% losses so far on Monday, following the previous day’s 6% decline. The PI token's retail appeal also takes a hit, with its Open Interest down by over 20% in a week, indicating a large-scale unwinding of active positions.

Ripple risks further losses as bears eye $1

Ripple extends its decline, trading below $1.09 on Monday after falling more than 10% last week. Weakening institutional demand adds downside pressure, as XRP spot Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) recorded $529,510 in net outflows last week, ending a two-week streak of inflows.
