Moving on to the top altcoin, Sherpa says that while he’s skeptical that ETH has found its local bottom, things are looking up for the second-largest digital asset by market cap. “Was this ETH move really the bottom?

A popular crypto trader thinks Pump.fun (PUMP) is primed for a price surge. The pseudonymous analyst known as Pentoshi tells his 881,100 X followers that PUMP could jump past its initial coin offering (ICO) price of $0.004. “PUMP has bought back 5% of the circulating supply, with about 4% of that in the last month, and is generating high revenue once again. 1% a week is a pretty free trade. I think this will be trading over the ICO price in the very near future, and possibly even towards all-time highs as long as nothing else changes or [Pump.fun founder] Alon doesn’t change the buybacks. I’ve been a pump fun hater for what it’s worth. But can’t deny the fact that 1% a week means someone is on the wrong side (sellers). Unless that changes or the price goes high enough that it lacks impact over a long period of time.” PUMP is trading at $0.00385 at time of writing. The 94th-ranked crypto asset by market cap is up more than 13....

With Bitcoin (BTC) reclaiming the $120,000 support, the asset’s long-term price structure signals the potential for a breakout toward $200,000 in the coming months. This possibility was shared by popular cryptocurrency analyst TradingShot , who noted that Bitcoin has extended its rebound from the 50-week moving average (MA), recently reinforced by a short-term bounce on the daily MA50. In an August 12 TradingView post, the analyst noted that this renewed momentum shifts the technical focus back to the macro trend, where the next significant hurdle lies at the 0.5 Fibonacci retracement level, the midpoint of the ascending channel that has guided Bitcoin’s price action since late 2017.
