{alpha}(560x51363f073b1e4920fda7aa9e9d84ba97ede1560e) is a token with a very low unit value, primarily symbolic, designed to mobilize the community around the BNB Chain. Its price is based on visibility and social engagement rather than on economic or technological fundamentals. The project remains highly speculative: it can offer rapid movements both up and down, with no long-term guarantees. However, what will strengthen it in the future is community adherence. Only the transparency of the designers could help.
Bitcoin, which had reached a record high of around $124,000 on Thursday, August 14, 2025, fell to about $118,000 after the release of U.S. wholesale inflation data that came in higher than expected. This dampened hopes for an imminent interest rate cut, which is a bearish factor for risk assets like cryptocurrencies (ft.com, barrons.com).
Another data point showed core CPI inflation for July at 3.1%, well above the Fed’s 2% target. This inflation pressure could delay any interest rate cuts, another negative sign for the crypto market (barrons.com).
2. Profit-taking after strong rallies
Following the sharp rise in Bitcoin and other cryptos, many investors took the opportunity to sell and secure their profits. This profit-taking intensified the correction (beincrypto.com, mudrex.com, investopedia.com).
At the same time, bearish technical signals — like breaking below key support levels (e.g., the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement around $118,833) — triggered automated sell orders (mudrex.com).
3. Lower institutional and government buying
Comments from the U.S. Treasury Secretary indicated that the government is not considering purchasing more Bitcoin to add to its crypto reserves, which weakened market sentiment (tradingview.com).
Although the crypto market has been boosted recently by favorable policy decisions (like allowing cryptos in U.S. retirement plans), this momentum can slow if investor appetite or access to capital weakens (ft.com, axios.com, barrons.com).
