The crypto market is testing May’s highs

The crypto market soared by more than 4% to $2.71T, reaching May’s highs at the very start of the day following nearly two weeks of consolidation after the rally. Bitcoin was the key driver, with altcoins actively supporting it, but the renewal of highs soon fuelled profit-taking. It appears there is a strong inclination towards short-term profit-taking in the markets, coupled with scepticism about the market shifting into a bullish phase. Among the top coins over the past 24 hours, the top gainers were Dash (+18%), Zcash (14.7%) and Uniswap (+9.5%), whilst the worst performers were Filecoin (-4.8%), Aptos (-2.7%) and Immutable (-0.6%).

Overnight, Bitcoin rose to $82K between the active trading sessions in the US and Asia. Still, by the start of active trading in Europe, it had pulled back to just below $81K, whilst remaining above the local resistance level seen in recent days. The leading cryptocurrency reached its May rebound highs, rallying within a few hours from the lows of its consolidation range to break above its upper boundary. Further gains pave the way to the year’s opening highs near $95K. However, it appears that this will require support in the form of further strengthening of stock indices and a weaker dollar.

🇺🇸 US Pre-Market: Mostly Negative 📉

Following the release of unemployment figures, the US stock market is trending predominantly lower in pre-market trading.

In the Information Technology sector, NVIDIA (NVDA) is up 1.11%, Apple (AAPL) is down 0.29%, while Microsoft (MSFT) is down 0.35%.

In the Communication Services sector, Alphabet (GOOGL) is down 0.28%.
In the Consumer Discretionary sector, Amazon (AMZN) is up 0.37%, while Tesla (TSLA) is down 3.06%.

Overall, declines are prevailing among the largest names by market cap, indicating a flight from risk within the US market and a shift in demand toward safe-haven dollar assets.

In these conditions, the dollar is receiving moderate short-term support through interest in US monetary instruments.

▶️ Pro News Weekly: Bitcoin Defies the Dollar

Welcome to Pro News Weekly!

💵 The U.S. dollar faces a tough road ahead of the August employment report, with mixed macro data, Middle East tensions and differing FOMC views pushing expectations for a September rate rise from 70% down to 62%.

📈 The S&P 500 remains around 2% below its peak, but rising Treasury yields and seasonal weakness are prompting caution, with September historically delivering an average 0.8% decline for the index.

🪙 Gold rebounds as the pullback in the U.S. dollar and Treasury yields gives the precious metal room to recover, while the return of the “debasement trade” brings gold buyers back into the market.

₿ Bitcoin holds firm despite the headwinds of a stronger dollar and higher Treasury yields. Strategy purchased nearly $370 million of Bitcoin, while August ETF inflows reached $3.5 billion, the highest level since July 2025.

📊 Next week, investors will focus on U.S. producer and consumer price data, which could influence expectations for Fed policy and the dollar, alongside developments in the Middle East and the potential escalation of the U.S.-Canada trade war.

Crypto: retail traders prefer to sell

The crypto market cap has fallen by 2% over the past 24 hours to $2.67T, while remaining 1.5% above the level seen a week earlier. It appears that retail traders are preferring to take profits or build short positions following last month’s rally. Activity among professional traders was subdued over the weekend due to public holidays in the US and Canada. In our list of around forty of the most liquid coins, all have gained over the past 30 days, although growth ranges from 2.5% (Tron) to 119% (Zcash). The month’s top gainers are now under the most pressure, with Dash (-8%), Zcash (-5.4%) and Chainlink (-4%) leading the declines, while Polkadot (+10%), VeChain (+6%) and Ethereum Classic (+5%) are the top gainers.

Bitcoin is undergoing a corrective pullback, having fallen from Friday’s peak of $82.3K to $78.4K, hitting the same resistance level that halted the price rise in May. This was also an important support zone between February and April 2025, so, unsurprisingly, traders are paying close attention to these levels in the short term. This situation suggests a possible prolonged pause before further upward momentum.
