Bitcoin, after weeks of holding firm, has unexpectedly broken below the critical $112,000 support level. Matrixport, a leading cryptocurrency analytics firm, has long warned investors of this potential scenario, maintaining a cautious stance despite the prevailing optimism.
Crucial Support Level Breached, Market Sentiment Shifts
In their latest report published on August 4, 2025, Matrixport confirmed that the widely anticipated risk scenario had materialized. The breach of the crucial technical support level at $112,000 is already altering market sentiment. Despite numerous bullish outlooks, Matrixport’s consistent cautionary advice now appears validated.
“Although optimism still prevails among many market participants, our previously cautious outlook is gradually proving accurate,” the Matrixport report stated.
Two Primary Factors Fueling Bitcoin’s Decline
Matrixport identified two main reasons driving the recent downturn. Firstly, the seasonal market weakness associated with August. Historically, this month often exhibits subdued performance for financial markets, and Bitcoin’s current decline aligns with this seasonal pattern.
Secondly, heightened macroeconomic uncertainty has significantly contributed to waning investor confidence. Specifically, deteriorating employment data from the United States has dampened market risk appetite. Matrixport analysts noted parallels with last year’s scenario when similar economic conditions prompted an unexpected 50 basis point rate cut from the Federal Reserve.

Matrixport Maintains Cautious Outlook
According to Matrixport, markets are already pricing in two interest rate cuts, with the initial reduction potentially occurring as early as September. However, the firm reiterates its previous stance, advising caution.
“Until substantial improvements in economic and market fundamentals emerge, high-risk assets such as Bitcoin are likely to continue showing weak performance,” the report concluded. This perspective suggests that investors should temper expectations for any immediate, significant rallies, at least until clear positive signals from macroeconomic indicators become evident.
