Bitcoin expected to hold between $112K–$118K and Ethereum around $4.1K–$4.6K, according to Ryan Lee of Bitget.
Macro factors, including the Fed’s September decision, remain key drivers for crypto sentiment.

Bitcoin and Ethereum are trading lower today, retreating
from recent highs as profit-taking and broader market caution weigh on
sentiment. Bitcoin slipped back toward the $115,000 level after briefly topping
$124,000 last week, while Ethereum fell below $4,300 despite strong inflows
into newly launched ETFs.
The moves highlight growing volatility, with analysts split
between further correction risks and the potential for renewed momentum if key
resistance levels are broken.
Defined Trading Ranges
Ryan Lee, Chief Analyst at Bitget crypto exchange, said that
“Bitcoin and Ethereum look poised to trade within defined ranges over the
coming week, with Bitcoin consolidating between $112,000 and $118,000 and
Ethereum likely holding in the $4,100 to $4,600 zone. Ethereum’s strong run has
invited some profit-taking, which may limit immediate upside momentum and
instead set the stage for consolidation.”

Leverage Risks in Futures Markets
He added that “record levels of open interest in futures
markets underscore how much leverage has built up across crypto. That leverage
cuts both ways: it can accelerate gains if momentum continues, but it also
amplifies volatility, leaving both BTC and ETH vulnerable to sharper swings on
any shift in sentiment.”
According to Lee, macroeconomic factors will remain pivotal.
“Particularly with investors focused on the Federal Reserve’s September
decision and the release of meeting minutes.”
“Any hint of hawkishness or delay in rate-cut expectations
could pressure risk assets, while dovish signals may extend crypto’s current
momentum. For now, the ranges for Bitcoin and Ethereum reflect a market
balancing optimism with caution, navigating both structural demand and
heightened speculative exposure,” Lee added.
A more optimistic projection sees Bitcoin reaching $350,000,
while a high-end “black swan” scenario puts the price as high as $500,000.
These forecasts assume increased institutional adoption and wider acceptance of
blockchain across global financial markets.
