The crypto market is facing headwinds as bearish sentiments grow ahead of September, a historically bearish month for the asset class. Many experts are predicting a market selloff that could send the total valuation of the crypto and altcoin market below $1 trillion.
Institutional Support
Despite the bearish outlook, on-chain data reveals that institutional funds are steadily flowing into the market. Just last month, an address holding more than $3 billion worth of Bitcoin was traced back to Robinhood Markets, a major US securities trading platform. This suggests that institutional investors are still interested in the crypto space, even amid the current volatility.
Bitcoin Price Predictions
Blockchainedbb, a prominent crypto analyst on the X platform, believes that the crypto market is on the cusp of a significant buying opportunity. The analyst anticipates a drop in the Bitcoin price to a range between $19,000 and $21,000 in the near future. However, Blockchainedbb does not foresee Bitcoin falling below $18,000 again.

Altcoin Price Predictions
The analyst also anticipates a similar trend in the altcoin market, with Ethereum poised to drop by approximately 23%. Ethereum’s price is expected to range between $1,000 and $1,200 in the coming weeks. The analyst has also issued price targets for select altcoins, including Solana (SOL) at around $10, OCEAN at $0.20, Ripple’s XRP at 40 cents, TRIAS at $2.90, and Elon Musk-backed Dogecoin (DOGE) at $0.04.
