'Caution above $4,000 is evident, with limited appetite for leveraged bullish bets despite $683 million in net inflows into spot ETH ETFs over just two days. Still, neutral derivatives readings suggest resilience, especially after the rapid rally from $3,400 to $4,300 in only eight days,' Vatnani added.

He further noted that 'risk factors include potential pullbacks if ETH fails to clear $4,350 decisively. A rejection at current levels could lead to a retest of $4,150 support, while a break below $4,000 would signal a more significant correction toward the $3,800 zone.'

Another expert, Vikram Subburaj, CEO, Giottus.com, said Ethereum (ETH) surged to fresh multi-year highs, climbing 8% to $4,620, fuelled by BitMine's plan to raise an additional $20 billion for ETH purchases. Ethereum continues to lead on strong fundamentals, with $1 billion in net inflows into spot ETFs yesterday, and is targeting $5,000 by the end of August. The broad setup suggests the altcoin rally remains intact as long as
Bitcoin
avoids a decisive break below $116,000.

Bitcoin's price was recorded at $119,000 in Tuesday's trade, marking a resurgence to a 10-day high and topping out near $118,500—a testament to the market's resilience amid broader geopolitical tensions.
"Bitcoin's resurgence to a 10-day high, topping out near $118,500, is a testament to the market's resilience amid broader geopolitical tensions, while Chainlink's near 7% surge past $22 underscores the growing appetite for alpha-seeking altcoins. This kind of synchronized strength across major assets reflects not just speculative momentum but improving institutional confidence and capital flow in crypto markets,' said Avinash Shekhar, Co-Founder & CEO, Pi42.
As of 11:07 am IST, the world's largest cryptocurrency was up 0.69% over the past 24 hours at $119,338, and has gained 4.41% over the last seven days.
What experts say
Parth Srivastava, Head of Quant, 9Point Capital's Research Team:
Bitcoin's structure remains bullish as sustained
ETF inflows
, led by BlackRock's IBIT, continue absorbing supply at a rapid pace. With consistent 2,000–3,000 BTC daily accumulation and occasional large spikes, dips are being quickly bought. Momentum and on-chain trends suggest further upside potential as long-term holders remain steady and
institutional demand
stays robust.
CoinSwitch Markets Desk:
Bitcoin rebounded from early lows to test resistance above $120,000 but faced repeated rejections. After choppy consolidation, selling pressure pulled it back near $119,200, with a mild late recovery keeping momentum neutral to slightly bearish. ETH is trading near $4,620, its highest level since the all-time high of $4,800 in November 2021. The ETH ETF recorded inflows of just over $1 billion on August 11, followed by an additional $205 million yesterday.
Two publicly listed companies—Japan's Metaplanet and the UK's The Smarter Web Company—have added nearly $100 million worth of Bitcoin to their corporate treasuries. Meanwhile, Circle, the issuer of the USDC stablecoin, announced plans to launch an EVM-compatible layer-1 blockchain later this year.
Sathvik Vishwanath, Co-Founder & CEO, Unocoin:
Weak jobs data and payroll revisions have bolstered expectations for a September Fed rate cut, with rates steady at 4.25%–4.50% for five meetings. Data quality concerns are growing as the BLS halts CPI collection in some cities, raising imputation to 35% in June; Trump's removal of BLS chief Erika McEntarfer adds political weight. Bitcoin is eyeing resistance between $117,335 and $123,250, supported by an ascending trendline and the 50-day SMA at $114,396. A breakout above $123,250 could target $127,000–$130,000, while a breakdown risks $113,650–$110,675. The RSI at 61 suggests more upside, but repeated $120,000 rejections indicate seller strength. Traders should wait for confirmation.

CA explains how a simple document could help save your family from months of financial nightmare
Most families never think about what would happen if the person handling the finances suddenly wasn't there. But for one woman, that nightmare came true. When her husband died unexpectedly, she didn't even know how to pay the electricity bill. No access to net banking. No clue where their SIPs were invested. Not even basic details of their insurance coverage. What followed were weeks of panic — until she built a system that every Indian family should copy as per CA Nitin CA shared that in India, over 60% of widows feel insecure about their finances or daily expenses. A Finsafe survey found that 31% still rely on low-return tools like FDs and traditional insurance — often without knowing how to claim them. Many women don't have basic access to bank accounts, investment details, or online logins, leaving them lost when tragedy Kaushik suggests making a simple 'Financial Protection Plan' — a set of steps that will keep you and your family in control. At the heart of it is an Emergency Financial Binder , a single document that holds all essential details: bank accounts and balances, logins and passwords, emergency contacts, insurance policies, monthly bill trackers, and property documents like wills and nominee lists. It's printed, locked away, and shared with a trusted also suggested setting up a shared password manager using tools so key logins are securely stored and accessible to her family. He advises holding a 'Money Map' meeting — a 30-minute check-in to track income, expenses, investments, loans, EMIs, and the status of all payment apps and also advises including an updated will and directives. All nominees are appointed, a registered will is in place, and your family will know exactly what to do if something approach matters because in most Indian households, only one person handles the finances. When that person is gone, the family faces not just emotional loss but financial disarray. Her checklist is simple but powerful: start a financial binder (digital and physical), share critical details with your spouse or parents, review insurance and nominee information, and make 'money talks' a regular habit.
