In early August, Bitcoin traded near $63,500, posting a modest 2 % monthly gain after rebounding from a two‑week low. Analysts such as Fundstrat co‑founder Tom Lee described a potential “crypto spring,” citing improving technical patterns, reduced volatility and growing institutional interest as signs of a broader rally. A reported Coldcard hardware‑wallet vulnerability that exposed recovery phrases for over 1,000 addresses did not halt the price recovery, suggesting resilience amid the security breach.

A few days later, trading volume fell to its lowest level of the year, and Bitcoin’s year‑to‑date price had slipped more than 26 %. Despite the volume drop, the cryptocurrency hovered around €56,374 (just under $65,000) and rose 1.1 % in the prior 24 hours. Analyst Michael van de Poppe framed the “ghost‑town” market as a buying opportunity, drawing parallels to the 2022 bear market that later produced a 600 % rally. The modest price uptick was linked to weaker U.S. jobs data, which eased expectations of an imminent Fed rate hike, and heightened political visibility after President Donald Trump called crypto “a big deal.”
