Bitcoin wrapped a whirlwind week — including a fresh intraday all-time high at 124,533 US dollars — back near last week’s close, a touch below 118,000 US dollars. By contrast, several large-cap altcoins found a bid: Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), and BNB each gained roughly five percentage points over the period. The new trading week now turns squarely on macro: Eurozone inflation, the Fed’s latest meeting minutes, U.S. housing data, and the annual Jackson Hole gathering of central bankers. Here’s what’s on the docket — and why crypto cares.
The crypto market is pulling back after sharp gains in recent weeks. Bitcoin has dropped well below its record high, while XRP is struggling to hold the crucial three-dollar mark.
Last week, BTC/USD posted a new all-time high above 124,500.00 before shifting into correction, with the U.S. dollar strengthening on renewed uncertainty over the Federal Reserve’s next moves. July wholesale inflation data showed producer prices rising sharply: PPI jumped from 2.4% to 3.3% y/y, while core PPI advanced from 2.6% to 3.7%. This has forced analysts to push back expectations for rate cuts, with fears the Fed could hold borrowing costs at 4.25–4.50% well into year-end.
Since the beginning of the year, the Solana blockchain has shown solid growth across several key metrics. The project’s market capitalization climbed by 29.8%, reaching $82.8 billion, while the total value locked (TVL) rose 30.4% to $8.6 billion, according to Messari.

For crypto, the framework is similar to traditional financial markets but comes with its own twist. Here, price action turns on liquidity, adoption, regulation, and flows from institutions alongside retail sentiment. Network health—hash rate, staking, active wallets—adds another layer. Macro still matters too: rates, dollar strength, and risk appetite shape inflows and outflows. Then, as with any market, you use the chart—trend, support and resistance, momentum, and volume—to spot setups and manage risk.
