Bitcoin at $112k, Ethereum tops $4,313 on rate cut hopes

Bitcoin went up by 1.63% in the past one week to trade at $112,026. Meanwhile, Ethereum was trading at $4,312 down by 1.70% in the same period and according to analysts, September is turning into a defining month for crypto and the current levels are supported by hopes of U.S. rate cuts, fresh liquidity flowing through stablecoins, and continued institutional buying.

“September is turning into a defining month for crypto. Bitcoin is steady near $112K and Ethereum around $4.3K, supported by hopes of U.S. rate cuts, fresh liquidity flowing through stablecoins, and continued institutional buying. On the policy front, the SEC is easing compliance rules, Nasdaq is preparing to launch tokenized securities, and regulators are working together to clarify the playbook for leveraged products—signs of a maturing market,” said Shivam Thakral, CEO of BuyUcoin.

“Among altcoins, Remittix is gaining traction with its PayFi platform and upcoming Beta wallet, while Layer Brett is drawing attention for its high-risk, high-reward potential. Overall, the market is balancing optimism with caution as regulatory frameworks tighten and new innovations keep momentum alive, Thakral added.

According to another analyst, Bitcoin is trading above the $111,300 level after attempting to break the resistance near the $113,000 mark.

“Bitcoin is trading above the $111,300 level after attempting to break the resistance near the $113,000 mark. While BTC showed signs of momentum, bulls could not sustain the buying pressure, leading to a consolidation. All eyes are now on the BLS inflation revision, which could influence the Fed’s rate cut decision. A softer revision of inflation could trigger a short relief rally, pushing BTC above the $113,000 resistance, with a strong support at the $110,400 mark,” said Edul Patel, CEO of Mudrex.

At 10:372 AM IST, Bitcoin was trading at $112,030, marginally up 0.97% over the past 24 hours and nearly 1.71% over the past week. Ethereum, meanwhile, was trading at $4,312, up by 0.30% in the past 24 hours and down by 1.40% over the last seven days.

According to CoinMarketCap, the overall cryptocurrency market capitalization stood at around $3.87 trillion on Tuesday.

Bitcoin’s current holding pattern near the $112K mark, following last week’s aggressive push toward $113.4K and the subsequent pullback, underscores the market’s cautious sentiment heading into what is historically a bearish September. While the bulls have defended support near $107.2K admirably, the retest of $110K to $112K remains a critical battleground. A successful break above this zone could open the door to renewed upside, especially amid symptomatic strength from altcoins like DOGE, which has surged roughly 7% in a single day. However, absent clear macro triggers or sustained momentum, BTC’s path forward may remain range bound in the near term.

Bitcoin appears poised for a period of healthy consolidation before resuming its upward trajectory. With liquidity trends stabilizing, on-chain metrics improving, and derivatives positioning resetting, the groundwork is being laid for the next leg higher. As volatility compresses, BTC is likely to build strength within this range before breaking out for a sustained rally in the medium term.
